Avoiding tolerance

[Guest guest]

A Christian zealot proclaims:

 

READ TIMOTHY 2:5 & EXODUS 20:3...Then you will be able to handle the

information that is written here regarding " Namaste " with clarity. Of

course I say this to a true believer because without the power of the

HOLY SPIRIT with in you'll NOT have the power to discern truth from a

lie. Satan the destroyer of life and the life to come mixes just enough

truth to get you to believe a lie. If you are NOT a believer in our LORD

JESUS CHRIST please, read JOHN 3:16. RECEIVE THE POWER THAT IS NEEDED TO

OVER COME ALL LIES.

in answer to a hindu comment:

 

Excellent article. This good for Real Bharat. All religions must be

learn with Hinduism, because all REAL KNOWLEDGE is VEDIC-ARYAN-DRAVIDIC.

The Sub-Continent of Bharat was a Boat that travel around all the Earth,

and left in each land a lot of Knowledge. Today This SACRED LAND is a

CONTINENT TEMPLE, WHERE ALL PEOPLE AND RELIGIONS HAVE THEIR PLACE. A

child must respect FATHER-MOTHER=SHAKTI-SHIVA=DHARO-BHARAT. JAY JAY

ATMA-OM.

& someone pipes in:

 

yo

Teresa Williams-

Exodus 20:17

" You shall not covet your neighbor's house. You shall not covet your

neighbor's wife, or his manservant or maidservant, his ox or donkey, or

anything that belongs to your neighbor. "

it's the last part that is relevant your neighbor also is entitled to a

God View, and you sound a bit upset cause they do.

but it's all good. I see the spirit in you (Namaste)

& the fact is: if one chooses to pursue a religious path then one must

be prepared to wholeheartedly embrace all the teachings of the faith you

follow. Otherwise how can one hope to make a successful journey (or

indeed even arrive at the destination) when actively avoiding specific

paths which form aspects of your chosen faith? Especially with

Christianity, which prides itself as a religion of faith. You don't

necessarily have to believe a teaching wholeheartedly (that will come

with `knowing'), or look inwards for confirmation of the truth-

just have faith, and divine guidance will assure you the benefits of a

wholesome existence. As always, the universe will mirror ones intent. At

any rate, faith constitutes an unwavering `knowing' that the

belief you wholeheartedly embrace must be the truth. So a Christian by

definition cannot allow themselves (the integrity of their belief

structure) to consider any alternative to the `truths' they

know. Indeed, a good Christian should believe that people of other

religious persuasions would be best served by converting and saving

themselves. A Christian -or adherent of any persuasion- being true to

their faith brings a smile to my face & joy to my heart. Gotta love

anyone being true to themselves- for we are what we put our faith in.

 

 

 

Please I sincerely hope I have not offended any in any way- that is most

certainly not my intension (rather the contrary). If I have been

erroneous in any assumptions please do not hesitate in chastising

me…

 

I consider that tolerance is simply an opposite to intolerance. Without

intolerance there no longer needs to be a notion that goes by the name

`tolerance'. So I radiate `acceptance' with one less

filtered layer to cloud my judgements and clarity.
