Truth is just that...truth, until it is proven not be as such, and thus far only OPINION AND SPECULATIVE THEORY is all that is offered in any attempt to invalidate what is ACTUALLY written in the Holy Scriptures. I find it amazing that someone claims that faith can be selected as if one is going shopping and picking from an available list, simply choosing one that best suits the ideology of the individual. In reality, a person does not chose the faith that worships the one and only true God of Creation....the selection is made by God as He calls any individual out from among the world that He so chooses. (the church literally means Ecclesiste in the Greek, or those that are called out and separated). A person is called into the faith by the Word, in modern times this circumstance occurs when someone hears the truth of God presented by someone that actually presents the truth as revealed by God in the written word (a product of the Holy Spirit of Truth -- ll Tim 3:16). Further truth is revealed by reading and comprehending the truth that God reveals to us through the Word.
We all realize that in today's society and especially in this great nation we are taught to be inclusive and tolerant of everyone, but as far as true faith goes...this could not be further from the truth. No one can be CALLED OUT and separated from the world and still practice what the world teaches as doctrine. For the Word of God and the Holy Spirit of Truth still are preforming their commissioned work, even in our modern society....even though the need for the miraculous has ceased due to the revelation being completed, God still calls out for more citizens to be added into His Kingdom. For indeed, "It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God." -- Heb. 10:31.
When one is revealed the truth by God, by simply reading and comprehending that which was ONCE DELIVERED (Jude 3), the true faith of the living God, one can not be so tolerant of LIES and Deceptions with the knowledge of the truth having been contacted and ingrained into their mortal spirit. Thus, it becomes our commission to defend the truth of God and allow it to continue its commissioned work until such time as Father God declares that the time of man has come to an end....only He knows of when He has planned such, for it is not revealed unto us -- Matthew 24:36.
As always, even in this supposed modern age of enlightenment...the church is still subject to persecution for carrying out their work of faith (most often by the ones that claim to be so tolerant of everyone, apparently with the exception of the faithful) ...IT CAN BE NO OTHER WAY, as evidenced by the grinding and gnashing of teeth when the truth is presented that eats away and decays the deceit made upon the Word of God by man.
