Why are Christians so intolerant?

That depends on what you mean by intolerant. If refusing to applaud what God calls sin is intolerance, then guilty as charged. But let's not pretend tolerance means truth doesn't matter. You want Christians to stay quiet, not because they're hateful, but because their message won't bow to your choices.

You say love accepts everything. Jesus says love tells the truth. He dined with sinners but never affirmed their sin. He offered mercy, but never at the cost of holiness. Real love doesn't lie to keep the peace. It tells the hard truth that leads to real peace.

The world demands silence in the name of kindness. But silence in the face of sin is not kindness. It's cowardice. Christians speakup because eternity is real. Sin is real. And Christ is the only hope. Maybe the issue isn't our voice. Maybe it's your conscience.

Love tells the truth, even when it's hard to hear. If l were intolerant, I wouldn't bother talking to you. True tolerance means respecting people, not endorsing every idea. Jesus wasn't intolerant; He was clear about the truth. I disagree with ideas, not with people. Tolerance doesn't mean silence. It means caring enough to speak up. If speaking the truth is intolerance, then call me guilty. I respect everyone, but l can't agree with everything.

Jesus loved people enough to tell them the truth. So do l. Intolerance would mean staying silent and letting you stay misled.
If l didn't care, I wouldn't share the truth at all.

Truth isn't intolerance; it's clarity.
Would you call a doctor intolerant for diagnosing an illness? True love doesn't affirm lies; it speaks the truth in grace. I'm intolerant of falsehood, not people. I value you too much to pretend lies are okay. Intolerance is forcing silence, not sharing truth. I'm here to help, not to harm-that's real tolerance.

"A dog barks when his master is attacked. I would be a coward if l saw that God's truth is attacked and yet would remain silent." John Calvin

"Have l then become your enemy by telling you the truth?" Galatians 4:16

Answer
Question – June 3, 2026
What does this verse mean to you?
Hebrews 7:18
For there is verily a disannulling of the commandment going before for the weakness and unprofitableness thereof.
This verse says, “the law that set up the Aaronic priesthood has been annulled because of its weakness and unprofitableness. It has been canceled by the advent of CHRIST. In what sense was the law weak and unprofitable? Was it not given by GOD HIMSELF? Could GOD give anything that was impotent and useless? The answer is that GOD never intended this to be the ultimate law of priesthood. It was preparatory to the coming of GOD’s Ideal Priesthood – JESUS. It was a partial and temporary picture of that which would be perfect and final.” (MacDonald). The laws were intended to establish a covenant relationship between GOD and HIS people, guiding moral, ceremonial, and civil life – Pre JESUS CHRIST.
