Hutton Gibson made a very insightful statement recently on The Political Cesspool, and it deserves a place here on Confederate Colonel.
“Tolerance is the last virtue of a depraved society. When an immoral society has blatantly and proudly violated all the commandments, it insists upon one last virtue, tolerance for its immorality. It will not tolerate condemnation of its perversions. It creates a whole new world in which only the intolerant critic of intolerable evil is evil.”
Hutton Gibson
Hutton Gibson is the father of actor Mel Gibson.
This brings to mind another similar quote from another man:
“It is not the evil itself which is horrifying about our times — it is the way we not only tolerate evil, but have made a cult of positively worshipping weakness, depravity, rottenness and evil itself.”
George Lincoln Rockwell
This libertine society of modern-day American in which we dwell has much to answer for. It is our duty to be intolerant of evil and wickedness. The God of The Bible is completely intolerant of sin. He recognizes only one way to cleanse ourselves of sin – that is to come to repentance (turning away from sin) and accepting the gift of salvation by grace through the shed blood of Jesus Christ. Christianity is the foundation of our Southern culture. That is something we must never forget.
tolerance is hate. God defined love as rebuking your neighbor for his sin and hate as suffering (or tolerating ) him in his sin. neither shalt thou stand against the blood of thy neighbour: I am the LORD.
Lev 19:17 Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine heart: thou shalt in any wise rebuke thy neighbour, and not suffer sin upon him.
Lev 19:18 Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I am the LORD.
When I first read Mr. Gibson’s statement, I tried to just pull out one sentence to sum it up, but I couldn’t – it must be taken as a whole because every word of it has importance. Thanks for stopping by and commenting, sir.
