The Importance of Affirmation in Disagreement

Posted in Christians, Contentious Issues, Life, Muslims, Understanding on January 18, 2012 | Leave a Comment »

I am pro-life. I believe life begins at conception and that all life is valuable in the sight of God. I am also pro-pro-choice. I believe people who are pro-choice are created in the image of God and worthy of respect as those whom God loves, even if we don’t agree. I am also pro-Muslim. [...]

In fact, he argues that if Christians really understood the cross it would be impossible to be intolerant. What is the truth that all Christians say everyone must know? Ought to believe?

Similarities and Differences

Posted in Christians, Contentious Issues, Jesus Christ, Muslims, Peace, Theology on January 23, 2011 | 4 Comments »

There are many similarities between Muslims and Christians.
