Thanks for taking the time to stop by and sharing with us Ray!

I believe acceptance of another person is not the same as acceptance of their belief. Being accepted as a person is an integral part of being loved. The art of love is to know how to accept another without need of accepting their belief as my own.

Ultimately, these words were compelled by the truth that loving and accepting others is not dependent on whether or not I agree with their belief.

I do have something against the statement the we are to accept people for their own beliefs though .
I think we have to accept and love every single person as he/she was created by and through God on his own image ……but not for their beliefs .
There are many verses in the bible that stresses on how each one can be fooled and deceived by evil if he’s not genuinely looking for the truth ….which ultimately is Christ.
I don’t think there’d be any excuse for any of us , believers or unbelievers at the end of time as we’ve all fallen from his grace .
But it’s only through genuine search for the truth that he is revealed to us ….then we believe and through our belief and faith in him along with our constant struggle and repentance that goes hand in hand with that faith ….We gain our salvation …..
We as Christians are not superior to anyone as human beings .
But through our union in Christian both in flesh and spirit we gain a new nature , just as it’s mentioned in 2 corinthians . We are a new creation . Changed and reformed .
In John 15:19 it’s also mentioned that we are not of this world . We are of Christ now and because of that we are superior to the whole world . Not because of our deeds but because of our union with him and his grace supporting us .
Intolerance is a spiritual killer I believe . But acceptance of everyone and every action is not a christian virtue either . As most of the world is following evil beliefs we should not be accepting of .
So in a nutshell I think the right term should be to tolerate but not to accept .
And remember tolerance is bearing all things is one of the features of real Christian love .
But acceptance is something else entirely
