Intolerance is no part of our creed.
The sword in the hands of the magistrate is God's instrument to punish evil deeds, not evil or errant thoughts. It is the truth which has been appointed the governor of error, and it has been entrusted to the covenant people of God that they might first of all live it, and then bring it to bear in every realm of life through proclamation, example, and persuasion. For not with swords loud clashing, or roll of stirring drums, with deeds of love and mercy the heavenly kingdom comes. When I was a child in Hebrew school I was told a story about Abraham. When the pagan freely admitted to being a worshiper of idols, Abraham unceremoniously tossed him out on his tuchas.
