No freedom to sin
From Yerranos
We do not have the right and freedom to choose any belief we wish to, but only the belief which is characterized by our condition before God.
It's amazing how people understand things erroneously when they assess the Bible. If the speed limit on a certain road is 60mph and law officers diligently enforce it there, how can any motorists on that road say that everyone has the right and freedom to travel as fast as they wish? According to the law they certainly do not have the "right" to drive faster than the limit. But, they do in a sense have the "freedom" to drive as fast as they wish, but the freedom quickly meets it's end with a gruesome penalty. Drivers can travel 80pmh if they wish for maybe about 2 miles, but next officer around the corner will undoubtedly terminate this freedom with a ticket. So in this case, drivers really do not have the freedom to drive as fast as they wish, however if they insist that they do, they must be cognitive to the fact that it is a freedom they incessantly look over their shoulders in unrest to enjoy and ONLY for a limited time.
The same holds true for this world of our actions and beliefs. All true Christians are endowed with the Holy Spirit who directs them all in harmony with God. But for unprincipled heathens, they are restricted in their freedom. They CANNOT genuinely believe in God. God must give them the Holy Spirit before they can. So heathens can only believe in anti-God beliefs. Among such beliefs false Christianity, atheism, Buddhism, Islam, Mormon, and Jehovah Witness seem to reap the most followers. All of these beliefs are erroneous and rankling to God, but some are more despicable (such as atheism) before God. Heathens nevertheless have the freedom to pick and choose which belief they want to assimilate as their religion, but all of the beliefs are wrong, and apart form the Holy Spirit, their choice can ONLY be reserved to wrong beliefs.
Proverbs 29:27 says, "An unjust man is abominable to the righteous, and he who is upright in the way (God's way) is abominable to the wicked."
This means that the AUTHENTIC Christian finds every other heathen way and practice execrable and this can lead to intolerance. Likewise every heathen assess every act of a Christian life corresponding to the way of God execrable. All heathens respect other heathen's belief but they DO NOT respect the TRUE Christians belief.
AUTHENTIC Christians do not seek to FORCE heathens to be AUTHENTIC Christians. They are cognitive to the fact that heathens CANNOT be turned to Christ by their own efforts. The transition of the heathen to TRUE Christianity (not the very prevalent fake Christianity) is performed SOLELY by God's arbitrary grace. (Ephesians 2:8). True Christians DO however, try to restrict heathens in sin. TRUE Christians do seek to stop or convince people from having abortion (but they do not bomb an abortion clinic or anything like that), from being gay, from stealing, from murder etc. They realize that if they are successful in convincing heathens against certain sins, that the heathen may be spared of a bit of God's fiery wrath against them on the day of judgment. They know that if the heathens do not listen, that the heathens may begin to hate them, call them names, etc. , just as heathens did to Christ, but they know that God wants them to continue and not be daunted by the frivolous threats of men.
No one has the RIGHT to sin nor to embrace any doctrine incongruent to scripture. But in America, it is pathetic that people have the freedom to sin and to choose conflicting beliefs, but this is not endorsed by God as God says, "You shall have no other gods before Me." (And as stated before, the non-elect cannot worship God) Fortunately, NO FREEDOM OF RELIGION WILL EXIST IN HEAVEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
