Intolerance of Sin

Whatever religion or doctrine condones or makes allowances for sin is not of Christ. The Doctrine of Christ everywhere teaches self-denial and mortification of worldliness and sin. The whole stream of the gospel runs against those things. Scripture emphasizes the "holy" and the "heavenly" not the sinful and the worldly. The true gospel has not even the slightest tendency to extol corrupt nature, or feed its pride by magnifying its freedom and power. And it rejects everything that undermines and obscures the merit of Christ, or tries to give any credit to man, in any way. And it certainly never makes the death of Christ a cloak to cover sin, but rather it always speaks of it as an instrument that destroys it! 

The goal of Christianity has always been to please God and to be rewarded by God with heaven. It has never been to compromise faith and scriptures in order to find favor with people. Christians are not called to tolerate sin and to become enablers for sin, on the contrary; we are called to bring sinners to repentance and to save them from their disobedience to God. Those who profess a doctrine that excuses sin, that tolerates sin, or that teaches there is no punishment for sin is not a doctrine but a deception of Satan.
