Obviously this person has no clue about the TRUTH. Compromise is one of satan's number one tactics to dilute the Truth. Her words will not cause you to stumble in your faith, but what about immature christians or the unsaved? I believe that is where you will be able to have some input. I know it is difficult to stay w/in the limits of the work environment when it comes to sharing the Gospel. I will be praying for you to have opportunities to refute false doctrine and bring the Truth to the forefront w/your co-workers. You were so right to stop listening.

I heard a speaker last fall at an interfaith event who said that he thinks Christians need to watch out for that. Not for the reason that some Christians say we do, a better reason. If I say to you "I tolerate you", does that come across as nice or kind? Not so much. We are called to love others, not tolerate them. Why not love others and let God do the rest? St. Francis of Assisi very famously said "Preach the Gospel always; if necessary, use words." I think it's great advice for a workplace like yours. Be careful of being “tolerant”.

You are correct in that this is a common theory and "truth" today. Isn't that sad? It is my prayer that I become more vocal about the Lord and what He has done and is doing in my life - while still being tolerant of others. It really is a very fine line. But, I no longer hesitate to praise my Lord - even at work. ;) He is my God and Savior and King! Vashti, thanks for your comment. You are correct in that this is a common theory and “truth” today.
