For instance, if I say: Faith in the Gospel of the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ is absolutely the ONLY way to heaven, and ALL other people are doomed to go to the torments of hell for all eternity…
Would you call me “intolerant”?
And if a person did call me "intolerant", would they be “intolerant” for doing so?

Same as saying I'm prejudice against prejudice people. It's a circular argument. Intolerance against beliefs is usually born out of the actions of those who push others with a certain belief... You can believe what you want and even state so... but most likely you won't be taken seriously when you tell people they are going to be tormented for eternity simply because they don't believe what you believe. You won't be tolerated if you PUSH the issue. So yes, I would be intolerant of people who are intolerant of others... Do they deserve any less? *Treat others as you want to be treated* =)

no, for being intolerant there is more needed than disagreement on some issue.
your example looks more like a threat than an act of intolerance.

i could tolerate people who carry diverse critiques than me, till they have been fairly disgusting or if the guy acted out badly. as an occasion, i does not tolerate a guy who believes he has a suitable to triumph over or rape a female, nonetheless i could tolerate a guy who thinks women could be housewives. this is sweet to kill those with kindness. If I act like a rational established man or woman, the different could take my critiques extra heavily. people who rant and rave at anybody who looks illiberal will in elementary terms look like as undesirable a loony because of the fact the guy they do in comparison to.

I would say you are mistaken in what you say, but saying words does not make you intolerant.
However, someone putting their intolerance into action is. For example, killing because they or their religion has been offended, should be intolerable to everyone.

I can't tolerate a good conversation on a Saturday morning when I should be doing chores -- does that make me intolerant?

yes
no
the difference is in the first instance your condemning a person for eternity to the torments of hell ...
in the second a person is expressing their opinion of you

Yes, I am being intolerant of your mythology by pointing out how intolerant your mythology is.

I'd call you extremely subjective and biased in your views.
If there was more evidence to suggest it, maybe an elitist.
Intolerant is too general a word.

THAT IS WHAT..... JESUS.... SAID....!
(John 14:6) Jesus said to him, I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life; no one comes to the Father but by Me.
AND......
(Isa 28:13) But the Word of Jehovah was to them precept on precept, precept on precept; line on line, line on line; here a little, there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken and snared and taken.
THERE IS.... NO... TOLERANCE WITH GOD..... Only FORGIVENESS.... in Christ JESUS..... OR..... JUDGMENT for Sin.... Law Breaking!
Thanks, RR
