Jesus didn't tell you to tolerate the evil people. Quite the contrary:
"Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt you."
Believe in Jesus, or else.
You think Jesus came to bring peace or to bring a sword?
"Do not assume that I have come to bring peace to the earth; I have not come to bring peace, but a sword."
"Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.…"
Jesus did not tell you to love degeneracy. We are told to hate wickedness.
"To fear the LORD is to hate evil; I hate arrogant pride, evil conduct, and perverse speech."
Christianity is all about love and tolerance? Yay hippie nonsense.
Christians love their neighbours, fellow Christians, but we do not tolerate the infidels and faithless commies.
So yes, if you want to play them at their own game, then Christianity has a 2000 years old track record of beating everyone else. And I'm a wicked atheist -- but I think it's mostly because the word that I was taught did not resonate with me. Reading the bible myself is restoring my faith, 1 verse at a time.
Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
“Abraham is our father,” they replied. “If you were children of Abraham,” said Jesus, “you would do the works of Abraham
But now you are trying to kill Me, a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God. Abraham never did such a thing
You are doing the works of your father.” “We are not illegitimate children,” they declared. “Our only Father is God Himself.”
Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love Me, for I have come here from God. I have not come on My own, but He sent Me
Why do you not understand what I am saying? It is because you are unable to accept My message
You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out his desires.
He was a murderer from the beginning, refusing to uphold the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, because he is a liar and the father of lies
But because I speak the truth, you do not believe Me
Which of you can prove Me guilty of sin? If I speak the truth, why do you not believe Me? 47
Whoever belongs to God hears the words of God. The reason you do not hear is that you do not belong to God
This truth has implications that are uncomfortable for most Christians today. What does it say about those that claim to be the descendants of Abraham but yet deny Jesus?
What does it mean that this truth will set you free?
Jesus said "I am the way, the truth, and the life." (John 14:6) He also said, "If the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed." (John 8:36) So Jesus is the truth. And Jesus sets you free. Free from what? From bondage to sin. From separation from God. From a life of living for oneself, to living, with His help, by His Holy Spirit, a life with gratitude to God, doing your best to keep what He said were the two greatest commandments: to love God, and love people. (Mark 12:30,31). I hope these scriptures resonate with you, my viking friend. Peace.
Love your neighbour or else.
