Tolerance

Is tolerance a form of being lukewarm ?

I would think so. But it depends on what you are tolerating.

It depends on what you mean by tolerance. For example, a parent can tolerate or not tolerate a disobedient child. Either way it has nothing to do with being lukewarm. I can tolerate different religious beliefs (or lack there of), and by this I mean I accept that people are not all Christians and I don't look down on them for it, but as long as I do not say "well everyone is right in what they believe, and there is no wrong religious belief" I am not being lukewarm

Conversely, this whole "love homosexuals and admit that homosexuality is not a sin" craze sweeping through many modern Christian churches is a great example of tolerance causing someone to be lukewarm. However, on the same homosexuality branch if someone was to say "I tolerate homosexuals. I don't agree with their life style, but I tolerate" that would be an example of how tolerance is not lukewarm.

It all depends on the specific instance and type of tolerance really.

We can choose to tolerate the tolerable but must never choose to tolerate the intolerable .. concerning the latter, one example would be what lil_rush was saying .. I know of nothing in God's Word that says one can not claim to be homosexual .. eunuchs were such .. the sin would be in practising homosexual sex aka sodomy as that is an abomination to God .. that sin, of course, is forgivable IF one genuinely repents, meaning one genuinely tries to stop such sex and it may take a few tries but God reads hearts so knows how genuinely repentant one is .. thus, we can tolerate people who say they are homosexual but we must never tolerate their saying they practise sodomy ..
