Oh and Pastor Bathfire,
to follow up on my questions about tolerance in the Bible
then i am tempted to mention matthew 18:21-22
18:21 Then came Peter to him, and said,
Lord, how oft shall my
brother sin against me, and I
forgive him? till seven times? 18:22
Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.
if not this is about tolerance then what is Jesus talking about here?
18:12 How think ye? if a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and goeth into the mountains, and seeketh that which is gone astray?
18:13 And if so be that he find it, verily I say unto you, he rejoiceth more of that [sheep], than of the ninety and nine which went not astray.
