Tolerance



The word “Tolerance” is threw everywhere these days by those who practice things that the Standard (the Bible) shows to be sin. Those of us who loving (let me repeat loving) show these people that the Bible says what they do is wrong are called haters or intolerant. But it never fails when the tolerant group shows themselves to be who they really are when one of their own crosses the “line.” They show themselves to be more intolerant than we can ever being.

The reason for this post is that yesterday, I heard Shawn Hannity on his radio show mention that he and his wife attended Rush Limbaugh’s wedding over the weekend and they enjoyed themselves. He mentioned something about Elton John singing but I wasn’t paying attention. Well today I read the following on-line:

“When right-wing radio star Rush Limbaugh tied the knot with his much-younger fourth bride Kathryn Rogers this weekend, the event's main spectacle -- aside from a tongue-in-cheek congratulatory banner flying above the ceremony, courtesy of Gawker -- was the mystery of why the openly gay singer Elton John performed there.
But in the wake of news that Elton's $1 million artist fee may have influenced his decision to serenade a guy known for his homophobic and anti-liberal on-air crusades, the gay community is starting to vocalize its collective outrage.
"I'm flabbergasted," Aaron Hicklin, Editor-in-Chief of Out, told PopEater. "It betrays either ignorance or self-interest or both, and jeopardizes his admirable record on gay rights."
Michael Musto of the Village Voice called the Rocket Man a "w***e" for his actions on Monday’s "Countdown With Keith Olbermann." And blogs like Queerty.com as well as the comment sections at websites for The Advocate and Out Magazine have been lighting up with tasks about the singer's apparent hypocrisy, according to PopEater.
Still, it seems unlikely that the Rocket Man will admit fault in his apparent support of the conservative couple. His 2001 duet with Eminem at the Grammys also incited ire among viewers who noted that some of the rapper's lyrics include anti-gay slurs. And Elton's 2005 assertion that "if gay people want to get married ... they should have a civil partnership," a comment he made to USA Today at his own civil partnership ceremony with David Furnish, hasn't exactly made him the celebrity spokesperson for overturning Proposition 8.”

There is a saying “Love the Sinner and hate the sin.” When Christians try to do this, we are labeled “Intolerant.” I know Jesus Christ told us that the world will hate us because they first hated Him. I know we will never be seen for who we truly are because this world is blind to the truth of God’s love. This article is just an example of how hypercritical “open-minded” or “tolerant” people really are when it comes to people who go against their agenda.
