>I just think it wise to show the same mercy and patience that was shown to me.
Believe me, in this world you will find abundant patience, but for all the wrong reasons.
And if this world was less patient towards sin I wouldn't have made this thread as those who unceasingly commit sin would be forced to repent or be silenced. Look around and see what love and tolerance has gotten you. Then ask yourself which Bible verses speak of tolerance.
For all I've seen there is no tolerance towards iniquity, nor should there be. Not for any reason. People say that Jesus ate with sinners, that is true, but are you Jesus? If not, I advise you take a look at this verse:
1 Corinthians 5:11
11 But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolator, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.
The Bible is ABUNDANTLY clear in it's message, and people only believe otherwise because false prophets, populists, and Satanists have overtaken the churches.
A world based on tolerance is a world called Sodom and Gomorrah, which I now believe to be lesser in sin to ours.
