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?
