Tolerance Sayings


... many Western universities are bastions of gross intolerance of the biblical worldview--in the name of 'tolerance' of course. ~ creationontheweb.com

"Now justice has been totally supplanted by ‘tolerance’ and everything you preach now flies in the face of the number one virtue in culture. Let me show you what I mean. In the last 35 years, I’ve given over 23,000 talks in over 1,000 universities and probably 1,000 -2,000 high schools in 100 some countries in the world. I’m not sure anyone’s attempted that, let alone prayed about it. So I’ve got a little background to make some statements. Up until about seven years ago, I’d make a statement about the deity of Christ, the resurrection, the existence of God, you’d be heckled or challenged. But this is how you were heckled or challenged:'I don’t believe it. Prove it. How can you say a man was raised from the dead? Give me some evidence.' Almost every thing I was challenged on was based on the substance of what I was saying. Pastor, I have not been challenged in that way for four to five years. Now I make a statement about the deity of Christ, the resurrection, the reliability of scriptures, and this is how I’m heckled. 'What right do you have to say that? You’re intolerant! You’re a bigot! Who do you think you are? What right do you have to judge anyone’s moral life?' A total shift from substance to style. Right now the truth of what you say is not even an issue, but rather, what right do you have to say it? And this has happened almost over night. If you don’t believe me, you ought to ask yourself why more churches don’t do public discipline now. You know why? The very community that ten years ago would have praised you, will crucify you. They’ll call you two things. 'You’re a bunch of bigots and who do you think you are that you can judge anyone?'" ~ Josh McDowell

"Up until a few years ago, the number one verse in this Bible quoted by young people, Christian young people, even the media, was John 3:16. Do you know what it is now? Even by Christian young people? 'Judge not that you be not judged,' is the number one verse now quoted." ~ Josh McDowell
