"Tolerationist" ?

"Tolerate", as defined in Webster's Dictionary; 1. to allow; permit; not interfere with. 2. to recognize and respect (others beliefs and practices, etc.) without necessarily agreeing or sympathizing. 3. to put up with; bear. Also defined in Webster, "Tolerance", as; 1. a tolerating or being tolerant, especially of others' views, beliefs, practices, etc; freedom from bigotry or prejudice..." And then we have "Toleration", defined as; tolerance; especially , freedom of religious worship; freedom to hold religious views that differ from the established ones. Thus we arrive at the term "Tolerationist", defined as; a person who advocates toleration, especially in religious matters. The action and momentum of these words are speeding along full force in this world, and especially in this country! The " I'm ok, you're ok" mentality is rapidly spreading into the minds, and hearts, of many Americans, and it's really not ok! I wonder if people stop to think about who governs the laws of "tolerance". It certainly has its boundries, depending on whom you are speaking too. In other words, there ARE no boundries to tolerance! The world(people) makes it up as it goes along, with each generation becoming more and more saturated with beliefs and behavior that used to be unacceptable. Untolerated. Tolerance has become the worlds defining "belief system", and as such, (referencing the above definitions) it leans on nothing, believes in anything, and tolerates everything. Thus, the life of a "tolerationist" is consumed by making sure that every relationship they have is based on both parties accepting acknowledgment of one anothers "belief system", being based on nothing, believing in anything, and tolerating everything. Experiencially speaking, as a bible believing christian, these people can be the first to reject you. They throw daggers of criticism at your life because you are so firmly rooted and grounded in your beliefs to the degree that you are convinced, committed, and unmovable! You are on solid ground, and, oh how the spirit of tolerence hates that! It aggravates and frustrates those who are decieved into thinking they can live thier lives to the fullest thinking, "I'm ok and you're ok, and we will accept one another on the grounds that there IS NO ground, and we will go thru life seperately, together. We will believe anything we want on any given day, as long as we "feel ok" about it, but even if we don't, we'll tolerate everything that anyone wants us to, as long as they, to, tolerate us". This is a very serious matter and lives are at risk here with this pattern of thinking. Eternal lives! I almost lost my life to this "worldly belief system", and although I have been saved and pulled out of it, I led a very miserable life because of it! I hope to share more of my heart on this in another blog entry soon. There is much to ponder, and much that God has to say on this, in His Word. Good night.
