You know, you are right and wrong. Sometimes our attempts to correct can take a long time. Like 20 years, until finally someone's heart is right for the message. (Like my husband's was). Tolerate? Yes, we tolerated a lot on both sides, because I wasn't perfect, I tried and failed, sometimes I still do. I did get discouraged, but I never lost hope. But if all we heard from others is, I can't tolerate you until you are saved, how would we reach anyone? I have to make sure you are right until I can.
Accept what? That you are a sinner? Weren't we all? So how can God love us? If we can't be kind and tell people, I love you, and I want you to be saved. And pray for that person to be delivered from bondage. As we were. Accept their condition? NO!!!!!!! Accept that I will talk to you and let you know, God loves you, and wants you to be free.
