I’ve published a new piece on Which God Can Save? about the tension between America’s constitutional commitments on religion and the recent reports of military leaders framing the conflict with Iran as part of “God’s plan.” It’s the starting point for a series that will look more closely at how government power and religious belief get tangled—and why that matters for faith itself.
It will also lead to a series that looks at some of the common points – and divergent views – of the three Abrahamic religions. I expect there will be more than a few surprises for a lot of people. Maybe especially because I’ll try to present it from the scripture and with information from each one’s respective religion.
Yes, I’m Christian. But I’m also a Christian that believes God gives us the choice to love Him – or not. And that it’s not my place to force you to believe anything. Instead, to present what each says about itself, then to encourage you to reflect on the whole picture.
If you follow these topics, the full post and the ongoing reflections is over on Which God Can Save?
