Mention was made of the woman at the well. He said that the intolerant religious right apparently didn't realize that Jesus accepted the woman at the well. While that is true, I would also suggest that she was never the same after she met Christ. He didn't tolerate her, but He did forgive her. Tolerance is benign.
Forgiveness is positive.
But, there is also qualification for forgiveness. There must be recognition of wrong and there must be repentance. Things do matter. God forgives, because God is love. Love is so much more than tolerance.
