Can be viewed, perhaps, but not necessarily.

I can be tolerant of the opinions of others, even as it pertains to doctrine, and not align with it.

I guess that I'm a dreamer because I believe tolerance can be achieved without compromising! Just wanted to throw this thread out there to see if it might make sense to someone.

Renda...it does.

When you asked me what I meant, I just replied that I was going to ask you what you meant by the huh? smilie.

Ahhh...it's getting late...

I'm NOT likeing differences of religious ideals to that sin... but the principle remains...

Sometimes tolerance becomes a weakness...whereas seperation can build strength...

The Bible says Iron shapens Iron...why?? Because they don't give in to one another.....

But they strengthen each other by their seperation...

Respectful then. I think respectful is the better word.

What I was trying to say is that if I'm tolerant of a view some think I agree with it.

I try to be tolerant of sinners and imperfect saints (I think everyone falls in to one of the two ), while not being tolerant nor ensnared in sin.
