This is a response to a question I asked yesterday it makes clear that extremist Christians want us all to be like them and wish to impose their values on us
I dont' know about you getting off the computer, but tollerance of a sinful lifestyle is the same as acceptance and support of that, and a Christian can not be tolerant of that if they are a Christian.
If A person who calles themself a Christian and is tolerant of a sinful lifestyle, it is no different for them if they choose that lifestyle for themselves just because they are in support of it. Afraid to hurt their feelings if they show intolerance of it.
God says this..
Titus 1:16 They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.
You are not a Christian if you are tolerant of sin.

I disagree I am a Christian who has come to believe , one must be called by God to be a christian, and not every one is. I tolerate many sinful people and share my thoughts from time to time praying God will call them. and some times he does, if not then I have lost nothing, It is not meant that we change the World because it is not our Job. God is in control of his own, this alone should make the non believers take a closer look at the Blessings of Christians, nothing needs to be said it is very noticeable. set an example.

No.
But they should also not be door mats or whipping boys.
Jesus said carry a sword.
If the extremists go too far, draw that sword and see if they have a stomach for a true fight to the death.
Most people don't. When faced with a gun at their nose, they smile and weasle their way out.
If so, let them go.
They are the weaker ones.

Are you talking about personal tolerance of a lifestyle? Are you suggesting changing the laws so that everyone has to live by your religious rules?
I don't care if your a christian or not--but if you go trying to change the laws to make all act by your rules--all non-extremest christians and non-christians should fight for their freedom against you.

The problem is when we become abusive to people. It's like Christians forget they sin too. So you lie instead of cheat? What's the difference?
Christians often reduce people to "gay" or "baby murderer", forgetting that these people are human beings that are not one dimensional.
Also, if it is scientifically proven that homosexuality is genetic then that moots that point, huh?
Either way, I've never seen anyone understand God's love for them while someone was shouting "God hates fags" at them. In fact, it probably makes them hate God.

christians do sin. they are called moderates. and your extremist christians are fakes as well. the penalty for defiance of each of the ten commandments is death, so why when a child does not respect his mother, does she not kill the child. Furthermore, the bible preaches death to all non believers, so why are their not mass killings on the streets, of all followers of the koran, the jews, atheists, buddhist etc. because they are fakes, they take what they want from the canons, and dismiss the rest. All religious followers are fakes, except for islam extremists, who use suicide bombs, and kill infidels. these are the ridiculous teachings of all religions. only eastern mysticism teaches you to better yourself, and to look intrinsically upon yourself. not to mention, their claims are empirical, not based on the fairytale wrintings of the bible or koran, or book of deutoronomy etc. religion, if not dealt with, will be the end of our world.

I wont fight with a fellow brother or sister. Why not read 2 timothy verse 16 . Avoid worthless, foolish talk that only leads to more godless behaviour. Also The lord knows those who are his.

If extremist Christians try to force their way upon you then you should resist if you don't want to convert or submit . If the extremist Christians become like the Islamofascists then take them head on with over whelming force !

If you judge other people, you are disobedient to Jesus Christ. You also show arrogance, because you are doing what only God is entitled to do. Read the New Testament. Understand it. Live it.
Do not judge anyone while there is something you can be judged for.
Love All, Forgive All, Show Mercy, Judge No-One

For God's sake, why on earth can't all people who purport to follow any religion do as they are taught and love one another - surely that includes everyone. Why make divisions and factions which fight against each other? I certainly don't understand.

This is the sort of mentality possessed by the villain from "Se7en". Should I expect a head in a box from you soon?
BTW: Remember Matthew 6:6.
