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!
