{Oh you are not going like what I have to say. You are probably not going to like me because I am intolerant! Go ahead crucify me! I will not be moved!}
Acquiring 2 dogs has taught me many things. One of the first things I learned was that found female dogs will more than likely be pregnant. Another lesson learned was that old dogs can not be trained to do new things. If they poop and pee in a home, they can and will poop and pee in yours no matter how you train them.
It is intolerable to live in a home where 2 big dogs constantly do their business if you know what I mean. There is a relationship that I expect with an animal that has been rescued: I am the master and it is to obey my rules. That seems like a reasonable relationship to me. And yet they will not yield that authority. One dog Lucy almost does but because of the other dog she follows the bad behaviour. Linda is so nasty out she will go today. We are putting her outside pups and all. I am intolerant of dog poop and pee in my home. For the sake of the pups society says I should tolerate this poop and filth. The world wants me to clean up the piles in my home and subject my family to it's disease all for the sake of the precious puppies. Out they go where there will be barking and whining where there are snakes and birds of prey. It is my home and I have others to think about. My children deserve a clean home and a mother who has not had to waste her time cleaning up poop. I can not afford to be intolerant of dog poop in my home.
God is intolerant too! He does not tolerate sin or disobedience. We can accept his salvation but if we choose not to follow the rules we do not belong near him. His home is perfect and does not have even the slightest imperfection. Our disobedience is no different than dog droppings in our Father's home. He knows if we will sin in His home and will not tolerate it. We have accepted being rescued from our old sin now isn't it time we wake up and follow the Messiah as our MASTER? He asked us to pick up our cross and follow Him. Isn't it time we asked how or at least what the rules are? I for one do not want to be thought of as the Dame that left droppings at Heavens door. Good thing He left a set of the rules too.
