Tolerance And The Christian

INTRO: Tolerance, is a word that has become important today. So, just what does this word 'tolerance' mean? Well, in brief, here is my personal definition: Tolerance is to allow, endure, or put up with something we do not agree with, approve of, like or enjoy. Let me say a few things I will not take time to explain, but you can chew on them. Tolerance operates in the areas of grey. It is in that area between what you like and what you will not tolerate. It operates in the grey areas. Second, tolerance does not mean to agree with or accept, otherwise it ceases to be tolerance. And third, all tolerance has an end; something that goes too far, otherwise tolerance also ceases to be tolerance. I can't develop those thoughts though they are important. So we will be looking at things tolerable, and things intolerable.
