Should We Be Tolerant Of Lawbreakers?

Hello Guys and Gals!


About illegal immigration and tolerance toward their beliefs that they bring among us as Americans:

There is a cycle that societies go through because of their sin in allowing other beliefs to exist where they should not be allowed. People in society allow other beliefs to exist among them in their society. As a result of those beliefs that should be excluded, people in those societies start becoming tolerant of those beliefs and eventually those very beliefs become more accepted, and then eventually adopted by that society. As a result of those tolerated and adopted beliefs, God brings judgment upon that society until they return to what is proper and right before the Lord!


God gave a command!

16 Only in the cities of these peoples that the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance, you shall not leave alive anything that breathes.17 But you shall utterly destroy them, the Hittite and the Amorite, the Canaanite and the Perizzite, the Hivite and the Jebusite, as the LORD your God has commanded you,18 so that they may not teach you to do according to all their detestable things which they have done for their gods, so that you would sin against the LORD your God. ~Deuteronomy 20: 16-18


Did they obey?

21 But the sons of Benjamin did not drive out the Jebusites who lived in Jerusalem; so the Jebusites have lived with the sons of Benjamin in Jerusalem to this day. ~ Joshua 1:21

27 But Manasseh did not take possession of Beth-shean and its villages, or Taanach and its villages, or the inhabitants of Dor and its villages, or the inhabitants of Ibleam and its villages, or the inhabitants of Megiddo and its villages; so the Canaanites persisted in living in that land ~ Joshua 1:27

29 Ephraim did not drive out the Canaanites who were living in Gezer; so the Canaanites lived in Gezer among them. ~ Joshua 1:29

30 Zebulun did not drive out the inhabitants of Kitron, or the inhabitants of Nahalol; so the Canaanites lived among them and became subject to forced labor. ~ Joshua 1:30

31 Asher did not drive out the inhabitants of Acco, or the inhabitants of Sidon, or of Ahlab, or of Achzib, or of Helbah, or of Aphik, or of Rehob.32 So the Asherites lived among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land; for they did not drive them out. ~ Joshua 1:31-32

33 Naphtali did not drive out the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh, or the inhabitants of Beth-anath, but lived among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land; and the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh and Beth-anath became forced labor for them. ~ Joshua 1:33


What did God do as a consequence of their disobedience?

They were rebuked!

1 Now the angel of the LORD came up from Gilgal to Bochim. And he said, "I brought you up out of Egypt and led you into the land which I have sworn to your fathers; and I said, 'I will never break My covenant with you,2 and as for you, you shall make no covenant with the inhabitants of this land; you shall tear down their altars.' But you have not obeyed Me; what is this you have done?3 Therefore I also said, 'I will not drive them out before you; but they will tbecome as thorns in your sides and their gods will be a snare to you.'"4 When the angel of the LORD spoke these words to all the sons of Israel, the people lifted up their voices and wept. ~ Judges 2:1-4

Then God’s People sinned and God sent judgment upon them for their sin!

11 Then the sons of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD and tserved the Baals,12 and they forsook the LORD, the God of their fathers, who had brought them out of the land of Egypt, and followed other gods from among the gods of the peoples who were around them, and bowed themselves down to them; thus they provoked the LORD to anger.13 So they forsook the LORD and served Baal and the Ashtaroth.14 The anger of the LORD burned against Israel, and He gave them into the hands of plunderers who plundered them; and He sold them into the hands of their enemies around them, so that they could no longer stand before their enemies.15 Wherever they went, the hand of the LORD was against them for evil, as the LORD had spoken and as the LORD had sworn to them, so that they were severely distressed. ~ Judges 2:11-15

The end result of tolerance is punishment by God for beliefs that are an abomination before God!

Are you ‘tolerant’ of those beliefs in your life?

Will your children accept and adopt those beliefs you are tolerant of?

Will their children be punished by God for the adoption of beliefs that are an abomination in His eyes?

I do not know the answer to that question. But God does! Why don’t you ask Him what He thinks about it?

As for me and my house, we will follow the Lord and His commands!

May God bless you all this day!
