Very good question , By his command to continue the preaching work as he sent 70 out by twos in Luke 10:1
I considered this scripture as the truth at King James Version Mt 24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
The bible says gospel in King James , also in the New World translation it is Good News.
So I am understanding only one truth being preached the one Jesus Started.
But we are to finish the work as Jesus commanded and instructed the same way he did it.
So we must be tolerant Jesus was.

NO! He was not tolerant of other religions as a matter of fact, He condemned "religion," as I do! (Galatians 1:13 "Jews' religion," Paul killed Christians. Acts 26:5 Paul refers to "religion" as of the "Pharisees.") As did the Pharisees, the world has gotten believers so confused! However, that is Satan's job "To kill, steal, and destroy" (John 10:10) and he's doing a great job of it!

The "Doctrine" (II Timothy 3:16), not "religion," is what is mentioned in Scripture! James 2:27 is the "only Scripture" which speaks of "religion" in a positive context which says "Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this: to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world." This the Holy Spirit will do for It "teaches and guides us into all "truth!"

What is Jesus' Doctrine and not "religion?" Religion is as "man" sees Scripture and Jesus' Doctrine is a belief that has been put into the right context, in the right dispensation, doing as the Apostles did.

Why? Jeremiah 31:33; Hebrews 8:10 and 10:16 all say, "After those days (after He resurrects) He would make a NEW COVENANT wherein He would "put His laws into their minds and write them in their hearts." Do we not live under the NEW COVENANT?

How did He do this? In John 14:26 and 16:13 Jesus "promised" a Comforter (Holy Spirit) who would be sent "IN MY NAME" Who would "lead and guide us into ALL truth."

When did He fulfill "Promise?" In Acts 2:2 when the Holy Spirit came in as "a mighty rushing wind" and filled all. Thereafter, Jesus (Holy Spirit) started talking through the Apostles telling them what to tell the believers.

You can read the rest! Plain and simple! We are under New Covenant today as stated above. Acts 2:42 says "And they continued steadfastly in the Apostles' doctrine (which was not the Apostles' but Jesus' since he was talking through them via the Holy Spirit) and fellowship..." In Matthew 28:20 Jesus told the disciples to "teach us to OBSERVE ALL THINGS..." Do we do that?

If you are not following JESUS' Doctrine as He told you via the Holy Spirit through the Apostles, then you are following "religion!"

Galatians 1:6-10 is to be remembered here! The Holy Spirit (Jesus) was talking through Paul when speaking these Words! Plain and Simple: "LET HIM BE ACCURSED...!"

Not long ago I used the term tolerate as a way to describe how Jesus reacted to the religious situations around Him. After a few exchanges with other Disciples of Christ I realized that tolerate was a poor choice of words. Tolerate is something humans have been taught to get along with everyone. Christ mingled with everyone but that is not to be taken as tolerance. Christ loved the human and it is for the human that He came into the world and shed His blood. Christ was with sinners everywhere He went, yet “Repent” was part of the message of the Kingdom of God.

If tolerance is to be considered one has to judge how right or wrong something is. We need to decide are we in fact going to put up with something that we might consider wrong. Humans have been taught a very fine system of tolerance to ensure things run smooth. Often what is perceived as a smooth ride today is actually the foundation for a very bumpy ride down the road.

Did Christ tolerate? No.

John 3:17 "For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him”.(NASB)

In order to tolerate something one would have to judge it and the Son of God did not come to judge. The judgment is yet to come. When it does there will be no tolerance, all things will be put under His feet. Today tolerance is best used to describe the fact that there are many different gospels out there. Tolerance is used to describe the many different denominations out there. Today because something is, doesn't mean Jesus is tolerant of it or them. There is going to be a separation and a fire to burn up the chaff.

  I'll concede that he's a "god" in the sense than any worshiped idol is a "god". But that doesn't make him a deity or any sort of equal opposite to God. Satan is still a created, lesser being--which is why victory could only ever belong to God alone.

I really believe that Jesus was not out to establish a religion. I believe he wanted to teach people a better way to live. Look at how he taught and what he taught. It was never about anything formal or liturgical. It was about how one person treats another and about how a person approaches God.

Having said that, it is clear that Jesus did teach an exclusive path to His Father. He said, "I am the way, the truth and the life. No man comes to the Father but by means of me." (My paraphrase). On the other hand, He did not condemn people. When He sent the disciples out to teach others about The Good News, it was a joyful thing, not a hellfire message.

Was he tolerant of other religions? Yes, in the sense that he was gentle and non-condemning. He didn't come to establish a religion, so he wasn't opposing religions. That may be our biggest misunderstanding of Jesus.

The book Nine Faces of Christ is a very good read. Whilst it is not based on documented truth, scholars believe it is very likely that the man Jesus underwent initiations using many different models. This bodes very well because whilst Jesus says the way to God is through him, he meant he was an example for people to follow. "Be as I am." This is lost on most because of course all of the bible is open to interpretation and most do not want to do the hard yards and be like Jesus. Jesus therefore is very tolerant of other religions because there is more than one way to become the embodiment of Christ.. It is a difficult path and there are many ways to get to the true center or essence that embodies the Christ. The embodiment of Christ is the goal of all religions, guised with different names but meaning the same thing. To say Jesus Christ is not tolerant is to say Jesus Christ is not Jesus who embodied the body of Christ.

In regard to religion Jesus said - Leave them; they are blind guides. If the blind lead the blind, both will fall into a pit." (Matthew 15:14).
The word "religion" itself means to bind together, keep on the leash, tie-up, restrict, to forbid, to impose a ban, to suppress, to control and so on.

Jesus in His Gospel calls us to freedom to love and serve out of love. Anyway, those who consider themselves religious and yet do not keep a tight rein on their tongues deceive themselves, and their religion is worthless.
"Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world." (James 1:27).

Whosoever decides to choose good and have life must accept His Words, and forsake all those countless worldly teachings. Must trust in God who made the heaven and the earth, must trust in Jesus, and keep His commandments - "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind'; and, 'Love your neighbour as yourself." (Luke 10:27).

Jesus belonged not and accepted not such thing as religion. It is not important what we do outwardly, but important is only the attitude of our heart which, by the way, is evil beyond measure. Spirit gives life, flesh counts for nothing. Religion fail to grasp God's given truth. God rightly says that He will frustrate the wise and the learned. But He gives grace to the humble. Jesus being God Himself trusted His Father, obeyed, and did His will. That is all what we are called to do.

Any (all those countless religions) mere man made religion is based on the law which God GAVE to the Israelites through Moses. However grace and truth COME through Jesus Christ.
Now Jesus is our so called "religion". It is He whom we must listen, obey and worship. He alone. In order to be not deceived by religious' teachings we must check out any word we hear and pray may God by His grace keep and lead us in the truth and only the Truth.

Judging purely by the character we're introduced to in the Gospels, Jesus would hardly stand up and shout that other religions are false and should be destroyed--rather, he would say something like, "Your faith in Zeus is admirable, but the blessings you've received were given to you not by him, but by my father, who is the one true god (except ancient Judaism says he totally isn't, but I wouldn't know that because Moses cut all that stuff out and turned Judaism into a monotheistic religion, but that ship's already sailed), and the one you worship is not Zeus, but my father." He would tell you your religion was wrong, but gently, and in a "someone had to let you know this stuff eventually" kind of way.

First. teaching that there is only one true religion does not go against being tolerance i think. Yes, Christ thought that there is only one true "way" or road to God, that is only one true religion.
In Mathew 7:13, 14 Jesus did said that there is only one religion. He also said that he is 'the truth and the way and the life', and no one can come to the father accept through him.
But it depends on what you mean by tolerance. If tolerance to you mean mixing or worshiping with other religion, No Jesus did not do that, instead he invite others to turn to the one true road.
But if tolerance you mean is being peaceful, not being judgmental and not being violent against people of other religion, Yes Jesus was such a tolerant man.

My take is that the Essence of His message was of a Supreme State attainable by all. Lets call this Love or Happiness. Christ often referred to it as a Kingdom, or the Kingdom of Heaven. He often spoke of it as if it was here in the Now.

He then underlines Principles as to how to attain that State, the key ones being Prayer, (this is not simple), Love, Faith ... a belief in Something Higher which some call God. I cannot say that He emphasized Religion at all, and indeed, He was persecuted by those professing to know the Law: the Scribes, Pharises, Saducces, Doctors and Elders of the Law. (Doctrine)

The people who initially followed Him and listened were essentially the simple folks with a few learned in between. His message was essentially of a place beyond sorrow, and how to get there for All.

Remember Jesus lived in a time where there was a pluralism of religion . I think he was a Jew who practiced Judaism as a religion he was born in and as a "Nazarene" was also a member of a Sect called "The Way" just as his first cousin John the Baptist was. This fact makes me believe that he is tolerant of other religions that are man made coz men are born in a world of human minds and they are at birth more or less predetermined to follow a certain religion passed on to them by their parents or by virtue of their race like being a Jew or by the place i they were born in like being born in Nazareth. It would be different if one is born in heaven like Him who looked into the face of God the Father and knows for truth as to what religion he must follow. This is the difference of being born in heaven and being born on earth. Jesus is the only one who is born of heaven and born of earth and He knows what is flesh and He knows what is spirit. That is why we call Him the son God. Being this, Jesus is omnipotent, omniscient and all other "omnos". So Jesus is tolerant of religions made by men that are only good and pleasing to His God the Father but He condemns those that are not - like Baal worship or worship of Molech because it displeases his Father. However, He came here to teach us that true religion is the religion of the heart because God looks first into our heart before He looks at our external practice. His life here on earth was an example of the "way, the truth and the life". He in fact is the embodiment of love whom we can believe in faith and must follow as the true example unto our resurrection to eternal life to be and rule with Him in the new earth wherever that may be. So no matter what religion of men we belong except the religion of hate and those that are offensive in practice to the Father, Jesus is tolerant but it does not mean that being tolerant it prevented him from teaching the true religion that God the Father wanted Him to preach more than 2000 years ago and to reconcile us to God by teaching men to believe in Him as truth and obeying his teachings as the one pleasing to God.In fact,he sealed his mission on the cross with his blood pact guaranteeing those who believe in Him and practice what he preached,salvation &redemption from their fallen state into the status of becoming children of God his Father and whoever believes and hold fast to this truth even unto death shall inherit his kingdom afterlife.

"Woman," Jesus replied, believe me, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.

God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth." (John 4:21-24)

The above biblical truth shows that Jesus was not tolerant with other religion who do not know the Father. He is correcting the wrong, errors and mistake, not tolerating.

Perhaps the wrong question is being asked, and so to answer this question, allow me to clarify what I mean by 'asking the wrong question'.

Religion is a lens by which people view the world; a world-view. There may be similar ceremonies or ideas associated with different religions, but the foundational concepts that make up different religions are what make them different. Things that are different, are not the same. So really, a "religion" is a type of philosophy on how to live ones life, and includes a set of rules or standards to live by.

As an example of similarities in different religions, many of them have sacrifices, whether it be physical or conceptual. A physical sacrifice would be to ceremoniously burn an object with fire, and a conceptual (or rather, intellectual) sacrifice would be to refrain from watching violent movies or television shows.

While many religions have a sacrificial ideal, the reasons for a sacrifice of some kind being carried out may be different. The standards for a sacrifice in one religion may differ because one is trying to take something away (such as "taking away" a sin), while another is trying to bring or add something (such as bringing rain for crops or good fortune). However, in both cases a sacrifice is the means by which the goal is reached. So because one religion might sacrifice for a certain reason, another may sacrifice for an entirely different reason, though both are using a sacrificial ceremony as part of their set of rules or standards.

When Jesus said that he is the way, the truth and the life, he was making a mutually exclusive statement. This leaves no room for tolerance of other "truths" found in other religions. Either the light is on, or the light is off. Either Jesus is the way, the truth and the life, or he is not. Jesus' religion, his philosophy of life, is based on this mutually exclusive statement.

So, the real question should be, what is truth? How do we know if something is true? Was Jesus lying, or telling the truth? If Jesus was telling the truth, what does that mean for all of us? For you, personally? Does Jesus' sacrifice mean anything to you, or was his sacrifice in vain?

You asked a good question. Good questions always lead to more questions.

I believe that Jesus was teaching the only true religion -- love.

This isn't romantic love, brotherly love or any other kind of selfish love. He was teaching altruistic, non-self-concerned love.

Jesus was tolerant of other "religions" that were all about love. He did not tolerate institutions and dogma. I sense that he would have approved of the teachings of Buddha (Gautama Siddhartha), but disliked today's idolatrous and divided Christianity.

Where Christians disagree with each other's dogma, you have self-concern (ego) -- the heart of evil.

No one knows the Absolute Truth -- the Mind of God. Yet, so many so-called Christians think they know it all. Einstein wanted to know this. But Einstein understood, at least a little, that it takes humility to learn anything.

When Ken Ham asked his audience, "Who do you believe, God or science?" naturally, his audience said, "God." But what the audience didn't realize is that Mr. Ham had given them a false dichotomy. The conflict is not between God and science, for God created the reality that science studies so well. The conflict is between Ken Ham's interpretation of the Bible and God+science.

When you remove all self-concern and turn your concern lovingly toward others, then miracles happen. No pope has ever walked on water, and I'm purposefully excluding Peter. I seriously doubt he would agree to be associated with the Catholic Church in all its corruption, and he did walk on water, if only for a few seconds, before reason polluted his spiritual bliss.

Miracles are easy, when you are in the spirit -- pure love. Everything that is not this love is a corruption of Christ's (and Buddha's, Lao Tzu's) teachings.

Jesus Christ was not tolerant of the pharisees and the lies they promoted about God the Father. He walked among all sinners but He spoke the truth of who he was and the correct path and the only way..through Him. Yeshua. He was not tolerant of sin. The sinners who followed him stopped their sin immediately and turned to Him for their salvation. They received it for believing on Him. I don't believe that there is anything in the bible that says that a murderer, prostitute, thief, tax collector after listing to Him teach said "No you are wrong. You are crazy and full of bs. Thanks but no thanks" hung out with him after that. They rejected him and the truth. This is where people are mistaken when they say that Jesus was tolerant and accepting of others and hung out with them. He hung out with all to speak the good news and those who followed Him. He gave the good news to all of the people and the ones who rejected his truths he didn't cater to...he didn't make fellowship with.
