Tolerance is not in the Bible.
God does not compromise.
Seems it's the evidence makes it "evident" that
no man is justified by the law in the sight of God

It's never ok to victimize, bully, or law anyone, and should not be tolerated nor considered as normal, even in children.

You can't tolerate everyone because some people will kill you.
You don't appease or give into the demands of the unrighteous. You don't tolerate evil. There is a God who set His laws and expects His Creation to obey them. God is not tolerant and if His children follow Him, then we cannot tolerate everything.
The law was given to make sure we knew we needed a Savior because no man has kept the Ten Commandments.
The animal sacrifice was set up by God to cover sin because God said without the shedding of blood there is no remission of sin. Then God sent His Savior and Son and Branch named Jesus the Christ and Lamb of God to take away the sins of the world. Christ's righteous and sinless blood sealed the victory over sin if we just believe in Jesus.

THE RELIGION OF LOVE
THE RELIGION of Love has been misunderstood, because the concept of love has in many ways been distorted and misrepresented, for the greater part of true love is severity!
What is now called love is anything but love! If all so-called love moere relentlessly sifted to the bottom, nothing would remain but selfishness, vanity, weakness, desire for ease, concept or instinct.
Genuine love will take no account of what gratifies the other, of what is agreeable to him and gives him joy, but will only direct itself towards what will benefit him, regardless of whether it affords him pleasure or not. That is genuine love and service!
If, therefore, it is written: "Love your enemies", it means: "Do that which will benefit them! Punish them if they cannot otherwise be made to understand!" That is serving them! But justice must prevail, for love cannot be separated from justice - they are one!
Misplaced indulgence would mean fostering the faults of the enemies and thus letting them slide further on the downward patte. Would that be love? On the contrary, by acting thus one would burden oneself with guilt!
Through the unexpressed wishes of man alone the Religion of Love has deteriorated to a religion of laxity, as also the personality of the Bringer of Truth, Christ Jesus, has been dragged down to one of weakness and yielding, characteristics which He never possessed. It was just because of His all-embracing Love that He was so harsh and severe among the men of intellect.
That He was often overcome with sadness is natural when one considers His high mission and the human material He had to deal with. This sadness had nothing whatever to do with weakness.
After eliminating all distortions and dogmatic restrictions, the Religion of Love will be a doctrine of the strictest consistency, in which no weakness or illogical indulgence is to be found.

Ever notice how Christians are always told they should be tolerant, yet Liberals never are? It's FINE to bash christianity.
Real tolerant, huh?

I refuse to recant. Change is not necessarily improvement. Regression is to be avoided. Tolerance is not necessarily compromise, it is just letting people have their own convictions while you maintain yours. Do not give up the fort.
