The Fallacy and Myth of Tolerance

What is the biggest agenda that is being pushed onto the culture today? Some may bring up issues such as equal rights, homosexuality, transgender issues, liberalism, and other issues brought up in a political or social setting. But none of these issues or topics are the actual agenda. It is a supposed idea. And this idea is what it calls tolerance. But what is tolerance? What is intolerance? See, we have come across a problem in the culture, and even the world. And here is the problem: Tolerance, on its own, cannot stand. If I am totally tolerant, then I must also accept intolerance. And if somebody is intolerant, they are not tolerant. Take this quote for example. "We will not tolerate intolerance!!" This statement falls on its face. How can somebody be tolerant, and not tolerate something. In essence, they are being intolerant to the very thing they will not tolerate, which is intolerance! So what is the point? Let us dive into how this effects the culture, since this blog is called "Christ in a Culture War."

Our culture seems to be pushing that everything is acceptable. Any lifestyle, any belief system, any religion, any behavior, any identity, should be tolerated. Let us blow massive holes into this supposed ideology. First off, everything cannot be acceptable because every culture, country, nation, and society has laws and regulations against certain behaviors based on moral perceptions. For example, murder, rape, incest, and theft are not tolerated by the law. So everything cannon be acceptable. Next, let us look at lifestyles and how things are worded by the culture. They preach that all belief systems regarding religion, gender, sexuality, and lifestyle are acceptable, and equal. This is what they define as tolerance. But their actions betray them, just as Luke's thoughts betrayed him in the presence of Darth Vader. Let us take our Christian worldview. The Bible teaches that marriage is between a man and a woman. We also believe that God created humans male and female. We believe that God created the earth by speaking things into existence, in six days. We believe that Jesus is the only way to God, since he IS God. We believe in Hell, which is separation from God for eternity. These are the things that we believe to be the truth. So, if somebody were to ask us to state our views on homosexuality, divorce, evolution, polytheism, the absence of afterlife, and that all religions are the same and lead to God, we would naturally respond that we do not believe these things are either right or true. What happens when we present these ideas? Because we do not agree with the ideas that the culture presents, we are viewed as intolerant. Our ideas are not tolerated, for we are viewed as being intolerant. 

 I have a response to this. I cannot speak for everybody, because there are people in Christianity who have said and done terrible things and shown hatred to people. But as God fearing Christians, we are called to speak the truth. And the truth is, everything cannot be true. We do not force people to believe the way that we believe. We do not seek the law to force out beliefs on anybody. We simply say that according to our Faith, we believe certain things, and people have the free will to disagree and reject what we teach from the Bible. But in today's culture, this is viewed as being intolerant. We get questions like "Who are to impose your morality on me? Who are you to tell me I am going to Hell?" We simply say what we believe God says. If God is real, and the Bible is true, He says and does these things. If somebody asks me a question about my beliefs, and I answer their question, all I am doing is answering a question. We are called bigots, fundamentalists, and hateful people. But our view based on scripture is not tolerated.

Here is the truth, and the truth the culture does not want to tell you. This has never been about tolerance, but the forcing of an agenda. The agenda is not about equality. There has never been equality. The utopia is a myth. The destruction of the family is the agenda. The destruction of belief in "religion" is the agenda. The truth is, belief in God is a threat to the State. They have to impose the view that everything is acceptable, everything is true, and everyone is equal. Belief, faith, religion, sexuality, and gender differences will be washed away. We are headed to a one world government, a one world currency, and a one world religion. This "utopia" can only be achieved under an Antichrist that deceives the nations. Belief in Truth and Jesus will not be tolerated. The culture is truly intolerant, for they cannot tolerate our intolerance to their false worldview. Bam.

Intro to the blog: Christ in a Culture War

What do I mean by the title "Christ in a Culture War"? It is very simple. The purpose of this blog is to proclaim the truth, divinity, and authority of Jesus Christ in a culture where this idea is dying. Make no mistake, if you are a believer, if you proclaim the saving grace of Jesus Christ, you are in a war. This war has been going on since the fall of man in the Garden of Eden. This war has continued through the centuries and will continue until the return of Christ. If you have attended a public school or university anytime recently, you have been exposed to the ideas of what I call The Culture. This culture is not for us, it is in direct opposition to us. This culture does everything from denying the very existence of God, his power, authority, and if he does exist, they say he is irrelevant. This culture is post-modern, humanist, atheist, anti-theist, and believes in moral relativity. They deny that Jesus Christ is the only way to God, if they even claim to believe in a God. They deny that Jesus was crucified and they for sure deny his resurrection. This culture denies that God is the standard of morality, they claim as humans we define our own morality. They aim to destroy the family, the church, and to finish what Nietzsche started: To prove that God is dead. This culture does not accept you, it does not love you, and it definitely does not tolerate you. Let us jump in and preach some good news!
