Intolerant - Leviticus 18:26 Ye shall therefore keep my statutes and my judgments, and shall not commit any of these abominations; neither any of your own nation, nor any stranger that sojourneth among you: (KJV)
The cry throughout this country is that America is intolerant. It was once true. We once were intolerant. Once we were a Christian nation. Once we understood that God's principals were truth, and those who would be wise lived by truth. Once we framed our government on the foundation of truth: on the foundation of the Word of God - the solid rock. Once we were like the wise man of the example Jesus put forth who built his house on the rock that when the storm came with all its fierce wind and rain, the house stood. We have become a nation wise in its own conceit. We have become a nation of tolerance to any lifestyle and sin imaginable. We have become a nation likened unto the foolish man, who choose to build his house the easy way: on the sandy surface.. What a fine house it was. All the money, time, and material he saved from not digging down to the rock was poured into the grandeur for the house. When the storm came, as it will on America, that house was destroyed; and great was the destruction of it.
Of necessity when one chooses one path to walk, intolerance of all other paths must be adhered to lest the chosen path is forsaken. Those who chose to walk in truth must of necessity be intolerant to all else. Those who chose to walk in God's path as the Bible clearly lays out, must be intolerant of anything that is not in keeping with it. This country once had laws that upheld Biblical principals. As a necessity those laws were intolerant of cultures foreign to the beliefs and culture that was uniquely American. Those who wished to become American had to accept this, or move on. Now we have become a nation of people who, in our own foolishness, have decided we know better than God and that accepting all lifestyles and cultures is the right, loving, and caring thing to do. How foolish it is to take such a great nation as was founded on the Word of God, and apply the principals of those lesser nations as their people flocked to the United States of America to improve their lives. The "Land of Opportunity" was that because of our intolerance. The opportunity is disappearing. It is fitting that God removes His blessings from the nation that is intolerant of Him.
