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. [...]

A Loving, Tolerant Christian Fundamentalist
Posted in Christians, Jesus Christ, Love on February 9, 2011 | 2 Comments »
In Peter Hong’s guest post at Eboo Patel’s blog, Hong makes the case for loving, tolerant fundamentalism. 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? It’s Jesus Christ on the cross. [...]

Posted in Christians, Contentious Issues, Jesus Christ, Muslims, Peace, Theology on January 23, 2011 | 4 Comments »
There are many similarities between Muslims and Christians. In fact, as a follower of Jesus the Messiah, when I am with Muslims I often feel more comfortable than when I am with Americans or other Westerners.
