This isn't about whether I tolerate them or not, it's what God says about those who openly sin. And in that phrase of "openly sin" I do mean those who practice sin, as God puts it.

Tolerate is one thing. The modern world does not understand the true definition of "tolerate" imo. Condone is another thing. To tolerate is not to condone. People today yell at Christians for not being tolerant when indeed we are! What we won't do is condone someone's sin--- for me, any one's sin.

The world wants Christians to accept it's sin and not rebuke it.

That's regarding sin.

We still love the person, as God commands us to. The world cannot fathom that concept.

Another concept the world has difficulty understanding is that of judging. A Christian is not to judge a non-believer (only those who say they are and don't act like it). GOD judges the non-believers. We are to show God's love, warn of His eternal doom, and try to win them to this God of love we know. But while we don't "judge" in the legal sense, of course we discern things about others... we must because we are told not to be buddy-buddy with those who are flagrant with sin.... but it isn't the condemnation judgment like God will enact upon non-believers.

So...do you tolerate people who openly sin?

It's important to read the posts made in response, if one is serious about a discussion.

Uh-huh. Yeah, I saw you try to un-use your phrase openly sin, and then tell us that the modern world doesn't understand the true definition of tolerate. And then some stuff about judging, and love and hell that didn't address my question at all.

You said a lot of stuff, but never actually answered my question. And remember, I only asked because you said this:

I Agree with the idea that it isn't that church people don't sin, it's that certain groups OPENLY sin, INSISTING on Christians accepting and TOLERATING their sin.

'Tolerating' and 'openly' are both in all caps.

So, I'll try again. Consider keeping the answer brief.

Do you tolerate people who openly sin?

I think it is more important to remember that businesses have religious beliefs that they can impose on their employees and customers. Freedom!

But of course -- the people who own you get to think for you.

Trump opposes same sex marriage, and homosexuals preying in kindergarden classrooms in revised LGBT curriculm. He opposes abortion and killing the unborn, and he appointed a staunch conservative "Neil Gorsuch" to validate the fact!

He's got my vote in 2020 thats clear vision you know :amen:

The fact that his entire life has been dictated by greed, pride, lust, wrath, and envy, and that he has never in his life demonstrated an ounce of repentance (to God or anyone else) is just a minor hiccup, eh?

Trump only opposes same sex marriage when it politically advances him, just like abortion.

Donald Trump took 5 different positions on abortion in 3 days

I think it's rather ironic and humorous how my post above has been literally ignored by those who claim that Trump is against same sex marriage and abortion, which my post shows otherwise.

Trump doesn't genuinely care about evangelical Christians or their faith. He's only pandering to them for his own political advantage. Once he's out of office, the pandering to these Christians will stop.

Yes.

(See how easy that is?)

But now you've involved yourself. Do you tolerate people who openly sin?

I don't mind Christians who oppose sin, as long as they don't use their biblical beliefs to justify discriminating against said people or pester those people ad nauseam with their beliefs.

The heterosexual adulterers and fornicators aren't marching in the street in your face parades with males in "G" strings,trannyswith breasts exposedSM with wips in hand.
Preying on innocent kindergarten public classrooms in LGBT homosexual curriculm.

Can't you be tolerant and non discriminatory of conservative religious people, and their beliefs?
It isn't the men in "G" strings that sexually molest the little girls and of children who get molested, it is far more often girls than boys.
