Let me rephrase that,.. forgiveness can be an option but that's not always something that can happen right away. It needs to be earned.
As I understand it God's forgiveness is a gift. Earning it is akin to wages where something is owed......it becomes a trade where you do this and God gives you that.

The wonder of God's forgiveness is he will never stop forgiving yet we can become so hardened we can think it's impossible and so reject it.

"Tolerance" is the watchword of the Liberals until they bump against anything that exposes the Leftists. Then there is nothing but intolerance and hatred. So there's your limit right there.

No one should tolerate nonsense. And there is far too much of that out there right now.

Yup - that's why I love G.K. Chesterton's observation:
"Tolerance is the virtue of the man without convictions."

the judgement we make of God is the judgement we make of ourselves. You can reverse that and it is also true.

Under Grace Tolerance is one thing, but to them who are without Grace Tolerance is something other. such comes in from another angle altogether Liberal one could say and lost, lacking in Gods direction and the blind leading the blind off a cliff, one could say.
You don't see Virtue in Liberals, you see cry baby's and cowards at heart with criminal intent bathing in malice is a common trait of such people.

Is there a limit?

Hugs
Yes, there is a limit

Intolerance is when the homosexual community drags a Christian cake Baker in Colorado through the ringer in court for a 2nd time

Intolerance is when liberals want to push abortion and homosexuality on minor children in public schools without parental consent

Intolerance is when liberals want to change voting rules and laws to maintain power

Intolerance is when liberals want to pack the US supreme court, to maintain power

Yes Liberals are Intolerant, and they have gained my intolerance, there is a limit, enough is enough

Hello @Ziggy

I would say this:

Abuse would be the limit; There is only so much abuse a person can take and I believe that abuse should be pushed against. Anyone who is in a relationship and is being abused should get out of that situation. Anyone who hears of mistreatment of children in a sexual manner; or in abusive manner (handcuffing them to bed for an example) or anything like that the law should be reported to in my aspect of view of life.

As a believer in Christ Jesus; But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; ... For a collection of other versions see Bible Hub Matthew 5:44.

I believe doing these from our heart; and to pray and love our enemies, and being forgiving.

But when you are in a household and abuse is going on that is a problem; and there are many issues like this in all nations of the entire world, which is sad but it can not be dissimulated as a falsehood and believe that everyone who is abused; should get away from it if it is possible to and get and seek for help...

Mental Abuse/ Physical Abuse / Sexual Abuse to Others is the limit, that needs to be stopped because no one should have to suffer abuse at the hands of another. - That is the anthesis of God who is love, and who gives comfort to the broken hearted.

@Truth7t7 That is something I would agree to as well what you presented and only for the reason of Jesus Christ and His Kingdom not being of this earth. People can use the name of Jesus Christ and try to fight the world through political battles and things like this but it also straying away from what Jesus Christ had told us when He said: "My kingdom if not of this earth, otherwise my Servants would fight".

We are meant to serve and love God; and to love our fellow Man. As Christian believers.
