TOLERATION IS NOT PATIENCE, LONGSUFFERING OR LOVE


TOLERATION IS NOT PATIENCE, LONGSUFFERING OR LOVE

In the kingdom another word tolerant is lukewarm. Many believers talk like they want to be like Me by have no backbone to stand against sin. They speak strong words when they are among other Christians but not to the actors that are promoting sin. How can you say you love the sinner and not tell him he is only one breath from hell? "When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity and go to hell; but his blood will I require at thine hand." Ezekiel 3:18 KJV

Your nation is being destroyed because the lukewarm church has misinterpreted love for weakness and cowardice. Now the little bit of leaven has leavened the whole nation. "It is  actually reported that there is sexual immorality among the church, church leaders viewing pornography, and impurity of a sort that is condemned and does not occur even among some of the heathen; that a man should marry another man, or a man has his own father's wife. [2] And you are proud of it! You ought rather to mourn (bow in sorrow and in shame) until the person who has done this shameful thing is removed from your fellowship and your midst! Don't just say we are suppose to love the sinner and do nothing! 

[4] I warn you, as your Lord and Saviour, do not tolerate the men and women who commit such  deeds.  [5] You are to deliver this man over to Satan for physical discipline to destroy carnal lusts which prompted him or her to homosexuality and to incest, that their spirit may yet be saved in the day when I return. [6] About the condition of the church, your boasting is not good indeed, it is most unseemly and entirely out of place. Do you not know that just a little leaven will ferment the whole lump of dough? Now look at the condition of your nation! [7] Purge (clean out) the old leaven that you may be fresh (new) dough, still uncontaminated as you are, for Christ, our Passover Lamb, has been sacrificed." 1 Corinthians 5:1-2,4-7 AMP

You say you want to be just like Me? Do you have the backbone follow Me and do this:  "And having made a lash (a whip) of cords, I drove them all out of the temple enclosure--both the sheep and the oxen--spilling and scattering the brokers' money and upsetting and tossing around their trays (their stands). [16] Then to those who sold the doves I said, Take these things away (out of here)! Make not My Father's house a house of sexual perversion, or house of merchandise (a marketplace, a sales shop)!  [17]  It is written in the Holy Scriptures, Zeal (the fervor of LOVE NOT TOLERANCE) for Your house will eat Me up. I will be consumed with jealousy for the honor of Your house." John 2:15-17 AMP

Never mistake patience and grace for tolerance, the kingdom has zero tolerance for the unrepentant practice of sin. "I have this against the modern western church: you tolerate the woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess claiming to be inspired, and who is teaching and leading astray my servants and beguiling them into practicing sexual vice and eating food sacrificed to idols. I Kings 16:31; II Kings 9:22, 30. [21] I refused to tolerate her sin, but I gave her time to repent, but she has no desire to repent of her immorality symbolic of idolatry and refuses to do so. [22] Take note: I will throw her on a bed of anguish, and those who commit adultery with her her paramours I will bring down to pressing distress and severe affliction, unless they turn away their minds from conduct such as hers and repent of their doings." Revelation 2:20-22 AMP

True love deals with sin, it does not tolerate it, because it knows the devastating consequences!
