Luke 6:36-38
36 Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.
37 Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:
38 Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.
Point being is simple Love Evan As God and Love Evan as Jesus oh yea and both are commands unto us.
Mark 11:25 tells us if we have Any Ought against ANY - Forgive - Then our Father which is in Heaven MAY forgive us our trespasses. This too is a command
We are told to Love our enemies and pray for them that persecute us..........also a command
Face it - we are Called to walk in Love - we are told to Love our neighbor as our selves....who is our neighbor - Every one we see.
If we are commanded to love God with all our Heart
Luke 10:27 And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.
Tolerance for the brethren should be a given No Matter What.
The problem lies from many believers Majoring in Ofenses......These folks can get offended if you look at them wrong or try to show them an easier way and so forth. No my friends - we better have much tolerance for our brethren
