“As a response to these tensions, many Christians accommodated their faith in order to tolerate the demands of the culture. This is why Jesus said... "Nevertheless, I have this against you: You tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophet. By her teaching, she misleads my servants into sexual immorality and the eating of food sacrificed to idols. For many Christians in Thyatira, tolerance was their willingness to compromise their faith and coexist with beliefs and behaviors that differed from God's. They had sacrificed their faith in the altar of business.“ - Pastor Roberto Chaple
