I am happlily married with 5 kids. I am an accoutant and worked in an accounting field for over 25 years. I like to make a habit of writing down whenever I have deep thoughts about God (so I won't forget). I really into Reformed Theology that is connected to Presbyterian Church in America.

Tolerance...........

There are efforts to popularize the Christian faith have been extremely damaging to the Christian communities because they have mistaken the desire to maintain a spirit of tolerance rather than loving the sinners but hating their practices. If we belong to Jesus Christ, we must hate the practices of sins. The ability of Jesus Christ to hate sin because it was sin that Adam separated us from God. It was sin that Christ died for. Before we came to Christ (repented for our sins), our imperfection in loving the good (light) and hating the evil (dark) were preventing us from receiving the Holy Spirit. Jesus never hated a sinner, but He hated the evil and depravity that controlled the sinner. False teachings are teaching us to believe that to be good Christians, we must be able to practice tolerance and accept dark practices. Lately, there have been lack of teachings mentioning words of conviction, repentance and commitment.
