So "...Thank you for taking the time to reply. <br />So "Pagan Protestant" is a non sequitur and I think Christians should hold up a mirror to anyone who uses the word to describe a secular cultural sentiment. "Tolerance" does not support or condone.<br />" Can denouncement of sin be tolerated in our society? Usually not!". Most people openly condemn murder, paedophilia, rape and so on.<br />"Simply, when you analyse Islam it is diametrically opposed to biblical Christianity". If you believe in one God, Angels, Adam, Ibrahim (Abraham), Musa (Moses), Dawud (David) and Isa (Jesus) then it can hardly be diametrically opposed.<br />I agree with you that these are very difficult and complex issues and maybe it's just me but I can't imagine Jesus telling Mary that her prostitution was spawned in Hell even though He most certainly would not have encouraged her.

It is difficult to answer...Thanks for your comment. It is difficult to answer briefly when these are big issues. But basically a pagan Protestant is someone who finds cultural expression in calling themselves a protestant but without any personal understanding or allegiance to the faith for which the protestant reformers lived and died. "Tolerance" in our society basically permits and accepts any lifestyle or belief system except that which dares to claim uniqueness and dares to say that certain lifestyles and belief systems are wrong and sinful. Can denouncement of sin be tolerated in our society? Usually not! Finally, the love of Christ is wider, higher, deeper and longer than we can ever imagine. His love extends to the outcast and the stranger but his love would not allow him to ignore sin or error. He exposed it and then invited sinners to embrace his love and accept his mercy and forgiveness and grace and follow him in a new life. The response of many was "We will not have this man to reign over us" Trevor Ramseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16278135158605098479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7664115426320049201.post-37756195836889116112014-05-24T01:53:02.234-07:002014-05-24T01:53:02.234-07:00There are so many elements to this that could be a...There are so many elements to this that could be addressed such as what is a Pagan Protestant? Define "Tolerance". But most importantly when "We need to point out truth and error" our choice of words is all important.
