@@dannyboyakadandaman504furl9, that verse about turning the other cheek has absolutely nothing to do with tolerating sìn. Turn the other cheek is about not taking vengeance in your own hands when someone wrongs you, because Jesus says He will avenge us, and He is the only righteous Judge of the souls of mankind. You’re trying to take a verse about personal vengeance, and apply it to having fellowship with darkness, dining with dèmons, and your tolerance of the wickedness of others, even though Jesus calls it an aßomination, and instructs us NOT TO TOLERATE the sìns of the lost, because you don’t have the courage to speak the truth of God’s Word, and tell them where the Word of God says they’re going if they don’t stop that wicked lifestyle, and receive Jesus as their LORD and Savior. In other words, you tell people you are okay with their sîns because you love them, and the whole time you’re saying that, you demonstrate your hatred towards them by not telling them the truth about their sìns, so they will spend eternity in the pit. I can’t think of anything less loving than that, to purposefully withhold the gospel truth from people because you’re too afraid to tell them the truth about unrepentant sìn leading to hèIl. Over and over again Jesus commands that we not have fellowship with those in darkness, but to share the gospel with them, which does not require us to condone their sìns, and Jesus says those who approve of, or tolerate, unrighteousness will be damned along with those who practice it, Romans 1, but you still believe it’s good for you to tolerate sìn in spite of God’s Word commanding you NOT to, right? You need to read the scriptures, and ask the Holy Spirit to give you understanding, and to also give you the courage to uphold the truth of the scriptures, and warn people of the consequences of unrepentant sìn, share the gospel with them, and remain faithful to Christ by NOT approving of their sìns, but share the truth of where their unrepentant sìn will lead them if they don’t repent and receive Jesus as their LORD and Savior. That’s what a loving person does when they are confronted with someone who is practicing an unrighteous and rebellious lifestyle, who asks them to approve of their unrighteous behavior. You don’t pat them on the back with a smile, and withhold the truth of God’s Word, knowing their soùI is in jeopardy of God’s eternal wràth, according to the scriptures.

@@dannyboyakadandaman504furl9, that verse is about not taking vengeance in your own hands, like if someone slaps your face, you “turn the other cheek” so they can slap that one too, instead of hitting them back. You being too cowardly to tell others the truth of God’s Word, and where their unrepentant sìn is leading them, so you approve of and tolerate their sìns instead, has no relationship to the verse you quoted about turning the other cheek. Romans 1 clearly says God’s wràth is upon those who tolerate unrighteousness, as much as it is for those who actively practice it.
Just left the Methodist church for exactly what you said. We are in a spiritual warfare right now in the world. What the world needs is more of God, not less
Yes.... the Catholic, Methodist, and other 'tolerant' churches are against the will of God. We are to be tolerant.. But we are NOT to accept known sin and abomination into our CHURCH. AMEN
The apostle Paul had backbone and conviction when he was zealous in his persecution of the church and he was wrong for it. Mark saying "We are pass the fist kind of people" is flat out wrong and is not reflective of Jesus. It just isn't.
You obviously didn't listen to the sermon. If you want to be a wishy washy "go along to get along" Christian, that's your problem. I can provide you with numerous Bible scripture OLD & NEW that rebuke you're weak view of scripture. I also have several hundred feet of 3/8" steel rebar outside my shop. I can send you a 3'ft length with instructions on where to insert for and instant backbone.
@@MarlonFolden I don't usually reply to people without real usernames as they tend to be fake trolls but really do need to provide the numerous pieces of scripture you think are more important than the words of Jesus in the sermon on the mount regarding how we are to treat our enemies and how we are to respond to acts of violence. If you want me to ignore Jesus I'd like to see your case.
@@MarlonFolden Also, I'm a pastor who had to do things like learn Koine Greek in order to work with the actual biblical texts and at various points had multiple NT books memorized so please don't come back with responses that act like you're talking to someone who is ignorant about the fullness of scripture. Mark repeatedly sounds more like worldly bravado than like Jesus and it gets old.
We also left the UMC the end of 2023 due to not wanting to be complacent with the Conference's changes of the Book of Discipline. We should have seen this coming with the way the churches closed during Covid.
Love what you said at the very end about us repenting to God's vs God repenting to our feelings because we are not editors we are messengers so if we disagree with God then we would be obviously incorrect.
Tolerance... the act of allowing things you know are not right in order not to offend. In the process of "Tolerating" illicit and un-Godly behavior, you are giving blessing to it and distancing yourself from the true Christ! NoMoreTolerance
and how that working out, bud? Seems to me, anytime you turn on a sitcom, cartoon, comedy show or drama, someone is blaspheming my religion. So, the way I look at it, tolerance for my religion is gone... and my tolerance for their trash is gone!@@dhenderson1810
Nowhere, and I mean nowhere in Scripture does it ever say we are to be tolerant of sin, tolerant of the world and it's vile, evil ways. Jesus was clear with his teaching when he said " be in the world, not of it."
For a lot of self-proclaimed Christians, tolerance is supposedly loving both the sinner and the sin. However, the main problem with churches these days is that they fail to teach "love the sinner, but hate the sin."
Not everything can be tolerated in the name of tolerance alone! There are many things that are not tolerable! DRAW THE LINES, clearly for everyone and stick to them!
Really? Mark Driscoll was sacked from his own church after years of ignoring the complaints of bullying and abuse. Check out who you adulate before you do.
@CatherineX-ph3on it's not for you because you are weak and sensitive. It's ok. We want our faith to be more firm and aggressive. No tolerance for satan.
"Tolerance is not a moral absolute; it is a peace treaty." -- Zunger Tolerance is being abused these days by activists that tell us that it's a moral absolute. But it's a peace treaty, and if someone breaks the treaty, you're not obligated to just take the abuse and continue to tolerate them.
With the absence of Divine Presence , demons get comfortable. - from 7 Facts from Satan’s Playbook If God is for us, who can stand against us. That being said, it seems this nation has done almost all it can to take God out of everything, but the TRUTH is, IS THAT YOU CAN’T TAKE THE GOD, OUT OF HIS CHILDREN! It is OUR CHOICE to STAND WITH GOD, fully DEPENDENT UPON HIM, by FAITH in HIS WORD, and by BELIEVING IN THE GOOD NEWS OF HIS PRECIOUS SON, MY SAVIOR and MY LORD, JESUS CHRIST, MY (OUR) SOON COMING !
People misconstrue what tolerance means for a Christian. We are supposed to use discernment! We are supposed to know what is GOOD & evil. And when we see evil it is OUR job as Christians to do as Christ did, tell them “STOP! And follow Christ. Repent!” Stop being lukewarm and allowing evil to spread across our great nation and this world. Teach them about Christ Jesus and if they CHOOSE to say no, wipe the dust off your feet, get out of the way and give them to God.
It is sad that Satan has come in full force because it is the end of days. Satan and the other demons know their time is limited so they want to take as many with them to the lake of fire as possible..
Love everyone like you love yourself but pray for their deliverance and repentance we can not accept the sin just as God will not accept the sin We are loving them by telling them the truth as we do not want anyone to go to hell 🙏
@user-xy5qf3lo5d Hebrews 4:12 that's the issue. It peirce through the heart and no one likes it so they call it hateful. But it reveals what we truly are. Speak the truth in love not lies so you will feel better about yourself. If homosexuals cam feel good about themselves that's where their going
During His time on earth, Jesus did not compromise and did not tolerate lies. He stood for the truth and rebuked false teachings. We need to do the same. We're not called to make people feel good, but to be a light unto the gentiles.

Correct the TRUTH does set us free But ONLY the truth Does the gospel of unrighteousness, Shepherd ? and with all wicked deception for those who are perishing, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. 11 Therefore God sends them a strong delusion, so that they may believe what is false, 12 in order that all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness. (Paul, 21st century) 👋 Shepherd (Ezekiel 33). Let’s see if your watching for that 🗡️ your flock has appointed you to watch for After all THAT WORD, THAT MESSAGE (Isaiah 28:19) is the gospel of his kingdom (Matthew 13:19) 😡 Let’s set Matthew 12:31-32 aside and discuss something even more important on what she (Luke 11:32) doesn’t tolerate. Neither does she (Ezekiel 33:33, Matthew 25:1, Psalms 139:4 - Hebrew and Greek only) when he is guiding her Doctor’s may want to consider just how real is her God (Moses and Solomon) Your bible warns you of its wickedness, does it not? False prophets were among God’s people ⌞in the past⌟, as false teachers will be among you. They will secretly bring in their own destructive teachings. They will deny the Lord, who has bought them, and they will bring themselves swift destruction. 2 Many people will follow them in their sexual freedom and will cause others to dishonor the way of truth. 3 In their greed they will use good-sounding arguments to exploit you. (Peter, 21st century) They should have said what they really meant to say “we blind the ears of believers so they don’t hear the 🪔 “ In their case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. (Gospel of Paul, 21st century) I am the woman who reads ancient manuscripts and I stand AGAINST you concerning what you say HER children’s “Jesus said” (Rev 12:17, Gen. 3:15 in Hebrew) OUR Jesus is NOT the one who is speaking! Shepherd, According to YOUR bible Have you already forgotten ? “For I have not spoken on my own, but the Father who sent me has himself given me command about what I am to say and how I am to speak.

There's been too much tolerance and not enough truth. That's why America is in the decline we are seeing today. God bless you Pastor Mark for speaking the truth
thats half the truth. not just too tolerant and not enough truth, but it is first the the churches then the people. Remember, God judges the churches that dont judge themselves, thats where the blood of Jesus comes in thru communion i learned about this one. so, yep thats about right. theres a prophecy coming, if the churches of America dont repent, something huge will happen. not my vision or word, something i was told.
No, You were born into filth and degeneracy just as every other person. Now , if you are a christian you are only clean through Christ. Tolerance is what allows other to see the Jesus thru you.
Tolerance? Christianity has been extremely intolerant throughout most of its existence. Christianity spread by the sword, killing ancient cultures spiritual practices and people.
@@TammyMonzon The filth is in everyone of our heart and christ said to love people anyways. Lack of tolerance is what got us here. People who believe they see the filth in others but not in themselves have made judgments without wisdom
I’m 59 and I’ve watched our nation slowly walk away from God all my life and Evil has grown exponentially. It’s so clear to see. Things are going to get really bad soon, it’s unavoidable.
Yes! Wow! That really needed to be said out loud. Thank you for confirming what God told us. It’s getting so uncomfortable to talk to people about where we stand on this. AMEN!
Oh, please don't be uncomfortable. Please speak truths with grace. 🙏 It's the other person's choice to respond to your message. If nothing else, wear the armor of truth & grace & plant His seed or uncover His seed that was planted years ago. God wins in the end with love & firmness.
I grew up in the Methodist Church as my dad was a preacher there. For 35 years he got one entry level church after another because he refused to preach their non Biblical B.S. while watching any preacher who would just rocket to the top. But he held the line like a warrior. And they punished him for it his entire career. He retired early because they were managing him out the door because he wouldn't do gay weddings. I like this guy, Mark Driscoll. I'm on a binge watching mission for sure!
Every pastor needs to be preaching about all that is going on in our country today. There are people that do not watch the "Right News" and are totally unaware of the depravity and corruption going on in this country and the world. The pastors are supposed to be shepherds of their flock and help educate us . Though it is really up to us to seek the truth.
The saying of “what one generation tolerates…the next generation will embrace” has more truth then most are willing to admit. Why because they would have to admit that we played a role in how we got to where we are today.
Yes. You know mark driscoll was sacked from his own church after years of allegations of bullying and abuse that all turned out to be true? Choose better teachers.
I had to tell my son that I couldn't tolerate his choices and lifestyle. He hasn't spoken to me scince . But I can't stand aside and let evil take a hold in my life . Sometimes the price is high .
Jesus ate with sinners and showed them love and people’s lives changed as a result. All you have done is push your son away. That is not Christlike behaviour. I am sure there are areas in your life that Jesus is not happy with. Does Jesus push you away? Go and make peace with your son. Say sorry and change your behaviour.
@@CatherineX-ph3on Are you kidding me? Jesus called out things constantly. As a father this mans should do the same. Should he be there for his son if his son chooses to return to an acceptable lifestyle? Yes, should he accept or tolerate an evil lifestyle? NO. My boys know exactly what I expect from them in life. They also know if they life outside that, they will do so without me.
Nothing will make me lose a relationship with my brother. All that matters is he is my brother and I will never do anything that would push him away simply because of his lifestyle.
@@DanielLivingston-d3k Then you are living in acceptance of sin, and that in and of itself is sin... You can love your brother, but you must be pushing for him to give up his sin, not accepting it.
Praise Jesus for this pastor preaching the truth of the scriptures! Amen! We do not stand in agreement with evìI, tolerating it, but we stand in opposition to it, and we use God’s Word to expose it and drive it out from the body of Christ. Thank You Jesus for sound doctrine being taught by some faithful shepherds in the last days!🙏🏻❤
@@dannyboyakadandaman504furl9truth is what you wanna believe it to be. But here we are looking at what the bible says compared to what sinful men are saying it says. By no means does God accept what we want him to. They're saying God made homosexuals he made trans. Homosexuality is what he created. That's mans truth and their perception but completely contradictory to what the bible says
“Tolerance…the sin that believes in nothing, cares for nothing, seeks to know nothing, interferes with nothing, enjoys nothing, hates nothing, finds purpose in nothing, lives for nothing and remains alive because there is nothing for which it will die” ~Dorothy Sayers
@@josebencomo2385 it’s a quote that has its limitations but still has a useful degree of truth provided you remember to qualify the statement properly. However, for all we know, the mindless absolutist tolerance could’ve been the type of tolerance she was referring to all along. Humans don’t always articulate their thoughts with super precise detail and clarity.
Mark Driscoll was sacked from his own church after years of allegations of bullying and abuse which were all proven to be true. Be careful who you look up to.
The church I just started attending was Methodist and disassociated last year. I didn’t start attending there until they got all their paperwork and changed their name. I’m so grateful to have found a church that I know doesn’t teach all this nonsense!
You totally mis-apply that Scripture. This speaks of tolerance in ones own personal life.. inviting evil into ones personal life and home. We are not to be tolerant in our personal lives and in our churches... THAT IS THE BOUNDARY. We are not to be OF THIS WORLD.. We are called to be separate from this world. Separate does not, in any way, imply 'intolerance' of others.
Silence is consent is it? That is an interesting view. You do know mark driscoll was sacked from his own church following years of allegations of abuse and bullying that all turned out to be true?
First time I've heard Pastor Driscoll (heard of him for years) and I am so encouraged to hear a pastor give a Biblical explanation of conservative values. Nothing shoots straight like the Word!
Mark Driscoll was sacked by his own church after years of allegations of bullying and abuse that all turned out to be true. I would stay well away from him. I am surprised so many people have no idea of what happened only 10 or so years ago.
Thank you Pastor Mark, for being one of the few voices, addressing the culture monster that we are currently facing.. Most pastors seem to still be preaching a five step process for more happiness. In the meantime, we are getting run over by evil and we need to know how to address it biblically.
True, but as christian is our responsibility to tell when they are doing wrong and the concecuences. Not doing so, we end on a society that do evil things. When evil get out of control, end up destroying your family and country.
