Idolatry And The Tolerance Of Everything

The rise of tolerance in a society comes at a price. Those who do not agree with the tolerance of everything: every false religious world view, every immoral sexual choice, every autonomous choice of a woman to kill her unborn boy or girl, and every attempt to turn God's Commandments upside down into "thou shalt" instead of "thou shalt not", such people will become the targets of intolerance. And Christians are likely to be the largest component to this group. The way Islam is being accepted in the West, particularly in America, is not a good sign.

Biblical accounts in the Old Testament should serve as powerful warnings to a society that tolerates and accepts evil over good. Every form of wickedness, sin and idolatry is accepted and promoted. And only the worship of the one true God and Jesus Christ end up being the things forbidden. Those who remain faithful to the one and only Lord Jesus, as in the case of the faithful Israelites who were faithful to the Lord God, will suffer for their faithfulness. When idolatry takes hold in a society, even the leaders succumb to it and help propagate it.


"Manasseh was twelve years old when he became king, and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Hephzibah. And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, according to the abominations of the nations whom the LORD had cast out before the children of Israel. For he rebuilt the high places which Hezekiah his father had destroyed; he raised up altars for Baal, and made a wooden image, as Ahab king of Israel had done; and he worshiped all the host of heaven and served them. He also built altars in the house of the LORD, of which the LORD had said, “In Jerusalem I will put My name.” And he built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the LORD. Also he made his son pass through the fire, practiced soothsaying, used witchcraft, and consulted spiritists and mediums. He did much evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke Him to anger. He even set a carved image of Asherah that he had made, in the house of which the LORD had said to David and to Solomon his son, “In this house and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, I will put My name forever; and I will not make the feet of Israel wander anymore from the land which I gave their fathers—only if they are careful to do according to all that I have commanded them, and according to all the law that My servant Moses commanded them.” But they paid no attention, and Manasseh seduced them to do more evil than the nations whom the LORD had destroyed before the children of Israel.

And the LORD spoke by His servants the prophets, saying, “Because Manasseh king of Judah has done these abominations (he has acted more wickedly than all the Amorites who were before him, and has also made Judah sin with his idols)"2 Kings 21:1-11


But rejoice in that the victory is ours, and proclaim the Gospel as we ought to.
