If we are to say that our God is a tolerant God we would have to deny His divine authority of the judgement on law breakers. We would have to erase the cross and say that Jesus suffered a meaningless death on our behalf. We would have to deny Jesus as our Christ and Saviour.
Our society is telling us to be not tolerant to intolerance. Our God is not a tolerant God. Just look at the Ten Commandments and His wrath upon the law breakers throughout the Bible. God does not tolerate sin. He has displayed this throughout the Old Testament and the New Testament.
Christ Jesus said, "He who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me." He is asking us to deny ourselves and to follow His path. He was a man whom God incarnated Himself. He was not just showing the right path, but He announced, "I AM the way, and the truth, and the light; none go to the Father but through me." By the authority of God Himself Jesus calls us to take up our cross and to follow Him.
