Keep a running score of how many times you can answer "YES".
Sitting comfortably? That's not part of the test! ...

Is what comes out of your mouth and what comes from your heart ALWAYS good?
|
[The Gospel According to St. Luke]

If you answered "YES" to every single question, then you're either Yehushua (Jesus Christ's real name) ... or a liar.
According to God's Word, we need to be careful not to accuse other people of intolerance if we are not prepared to be loving and forgiving - tolerant - ourselves.

[The Gospel According to St. Matthew]
Matthew 7:1-2 |
| 1 |
"Judge not, that you be not judged. |

For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you. |

So we ARE allowed to judge, but ONLY if we are prepared to be judged by the same standard, otherwise, not only would we be intolerant bigots, but also hypocrites!
Want to know more? We urge you to turn to God's Son, Yehushua, our Lord and Saviour, admit you are a sinner and ask him to come into your life. He'll help you repent (turn from your bad ways)!
God bless you and we look forward to meeting you in the air!
