Passage: John 8:31-38
"Intolerance" has become a "defeater belief" or trump card that instantly discredits any point of view--it has become more important than truth, with "proper" thinking requiring that any viewpoint be accepted as equally valid. (Ironically, supposedly intolerant persons have been silenced in the name of tolerance.) True tolerance, involving treating other people and viewpoints with respect and discussing differences, even while holding to truth, requires keeping truth and tolerance in balance, and acknowledging that some things (such as actions of Nazi Germany or sex offenders in schools) cannot be tolerated.
