Strange how Jesus saved most of his condemnation for what would have
appeared to be the righteous of his day - the religious leaders and the
temple traders making sure that you did not upset God by buying with
anything less than "holy" money. Tolerance or forbearance we can argue
semantics if you like but the fact remains that if God (Father, Son, Holy
Spirit) did not tolerate sin we would not have made it past Adam & Eve.
A serious question for us all. How should we be intolerant of sin?
