Where does tolerance lead?

May 13, 2008 · No Comments

After the removal of Ward Churchill from the University of Colorado, Boulder, I couldn’t help but notice an article in the Denver Post today about how the university is trying to pursue “intellectual diversity.” Most interesting, however, is not the political malay, but the evidence about where “tolerance theory” leads.

For a college that champions diversity, it’s interesting that the actual makeup of the student body and faculty is remarkably uniform in composition. Read the article for yourself. Ask yourself this question: why is it that those who promote diversity apart from the gospel of Jesus Christ actually get farthest from it? It seems those who pursue tolerance as an end in itself never reach it. 

The ultimate “diversity” is only possible through the coming kingdom of Jesus Christ, which is described in the Book of Revelation—a kingdom in which one truth is embraced by a redeemed people and everyone bows the knee in praise and song forever to Jesus Christ: 

Worthy are you to take the scroll and to open its seals, for you were slain, and by your blood you ransomed people for God from every tribe and language and people and nation, and you have made them a kingdom and priests to our God, and they shall reign on the earth (Rev. 5:9-10).
