Bigotry
/BIG-uh-tree/
Summary
Intolerant prejudice, seen in the disciples' opposition to a man casting out demons in Jesus' name and in the exclusiveness of the Jewish Christians.
☩Biblical Examples
When the disciples forbade a man from casting out demons because he was not following with them, Jesus rebuked their exclusiveness. Later, Jewish Christians were reluctant to accept Gentile believers until Peter's vision and the Jerusalem Council addressed the issue.
