Yes. Without getting into it too deeply, I'd say that the Gospels are the most
important part of the Bible, for they contain God's final revelation and
interpretation of the Bible (talking OT here).

Certainly forgiveness, but "tolerance"??? Consider this verse (or any passage
where Jesus is in dialog with the Pharisees). Suffice to say that Jesus was
completely intolerant of the evil of men.
"If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his own father and mother, wife and
children, brothers and sisters--yes, and even his own life--he cannot be My
disciple." Luke 14:26

Not an outcast, just lost.
