Do you practice tolerance and exemplify patience, or just get nasty like everyone else?

I always try to practice compassion, loving-kindness and wisdom, also here in my questions and answers. However, I didn't learn it from Jesus but from the Buddha and his teaching.

I tell the truth as I know it from God's WORD ! That is how I answer questions, some folks don't like it, but I give honest answers.
Tolerance ? The most intolerant people I have ever known are people who scream at me, and abuse me for my Christian Faith, these are the same people who demand tolerance from me !
Patience ? I am not patient with people who have no idea what being a Christian is, telling me what it takes to be a Christian ! Or telling me what a Christian isn't !!
Was Jesus a Patient, and Tolerant Man when He called The Pharisees, and Sadducee's a brood of Vipers, ans told them they were of their Father The Devil ?????
I am truthful in my answers, and I do as I believe Jesus would have me do, tell the truth with no compromise ! If people are offended, they can get over it, that's what they would say to me !

I'm not nasty. I want to have the same love that Jesus Christ had/has. I believe I am tolerant and I try not to judge - I said I "try" not to judge - I am not perfect, just forgiven. May the Lord Bless you and may you find the true God of the Bible and the Lord Jesus.

What is often forgotten is that Christians are still human beings and make mistakes and sin. Christians are not necessarily better, only forgiven. I try to forgive and love others, because I know that individuals who are not Christians look at my behavior and often judge God and the Church based on what its members do. That does not mean that Christians should not make an effort to be more Christ- like.

my answers come from the lessons taught to me by Jesus Christ and my faith in Him. i am tolerant and fairly patient, yet i do show my opinion and let people know the Good News of Christ's love for us. God Bless.

Jesus could be VERY BOLD in His response to others.
"Get behind me Satan" to Saint Peter.
"Den of Thieves" Money changers in the temple.
Cursing of the Fig Tree?!
To be Christian, means to be Bold in the Proclamation of Christ.
It is mentioned how God vomits the lukewarm!
Be Bold. Be Christlike!

My intention is to BE as close as I can like Master Jesus. He has set the example.
I am not like everyone else.

i don't recall lots of patience and tolerance from Jesus when he spoke to the religious leaders of his day.
