. . . or should we be warning people while going into all the world and preaching the good news that God has made a way they can be forgiven for their sin?

God will not be tolerant and we as Christians are not taught to be. The political correctness police has invaded the church, but not quite all have succumbed.

Look at how you worded the question. Are you comparing "Christian" tolerance to God's judgment?

It's the job of a follower of Christ to make disciples of all nations, not to judge. God judges, not you or me.

How about this . . . instead of telling people they are sinners, (which makes you sound like you think you're better than they are, even if you don't), try telling people that it's possible for them to feel a love they can't begin to imagine, that their lives can be transformed in ways they will never understand, and they can have eternal life and never die.

Focus less on the sins of others, and instead love everyone you meet, THAT is how you preach the good news.

It is okay and actually commanded that as Christians we go into all the world and preach the good news of Christ and God. We are taught to love the sinner and hate the sin. However, it is also commanded not to judge another and too many people confuse preaching the word as giving them the right to judge or condemn another. Yes God will be tolerant of sin, otherwise we would all be going to hell as we all sin in one way or another.

When man drops the body that has been carried for a lifetime,
the recordings of this lifetime are played back by the Recording Angels. There will be no attorneys present to defend one. The tapes of this life will speak for themselves.
This is what man has to expect upon transition.

Correct these tapes while the time is still available!

Will your God be tolerant? Probably not---why? Because you are a flawed human being, that is never going to be perfect enough for God's heaven no matter how much you pray for forgiveness. According to the Bible, if you have even one mean or sinful THOUGHT on your death bed and don't have time to repent, you are doomed to hell---no sin will enter heaven, right? --- Good luck and Blessings!

If there were a God, why wouldn't he be tolerant of sin? "He" apparently tolerates all the horrible things that happen in this world, rape, murder, child molestation, torture, genocide...etc. What kind of "Father" allows his children to suffer this way when "He" can stop it? BTW, I think if you are a Christian that is fine with me, I am just giving my answer and opinion.

If you are without sin ... cast the first stone.
The prayer of St. Francis says it best...
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace,
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
where there is sadness, joy;
O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console;
to be understood as to understand;
to be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive;
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

"Forgive them God they know not what they do"

There will never be a judgement day, and you are a bit looney to believe a bill of goods that someone sold you when you were looking the other way.

you know what to do
tell everyone
I believe ... you must say I believe ( after all it is faith not fact )
I believe that according to my book , you have to be saved by Jesus

then walk away and leave it at that
it isnt your place to judge or force or preach
speak and leave
then it is up to the person to decide what they wish to do
