A blog that seeks common ground between Christians and Muslims

​

A Divine Wink can be defined in many ways. The words “divine wink” are derived from Acts 17:30 in the New Testament, which says, “And the times of this ignorance God winked at, but now commands all men everywhere to repent.” An important Divine Wink is the expression of God's applause when Muslims and Christians, who take their faith in God seriously, come together to overcome ignorance and promote mutual edification and understanding, despite our religious differences. I believe God is dissatisfied with the divisive, zealous, religious arguments that unnecessarily separate good, God-fearing people. I find that most religious misunderstandings occur because of differences in perspective rather than differences in belief.   See also my novel, A Divine Wink: When Love and Religion Become Rivals.

​According to the publication, Christianity Today, on this day, "February 8, 356: For the third time since the Council of Nicea in 325, Athanasius goes into exile. The defender of orthodoxy was out of favor as Arianism, a heresy condemned at the council, ran rampant throughout the Empire. He would be exiled twice more before he died." Arianism rejects the doctrines of the deity of Christ and the Trinity. This historical event illustrates how controversial the doctrines of the deity of Christ and the Trinity were in the earliest centuries of the Church. Whether you are trinitarian or not, this historical fact does not justify such a dogmatic position on either side of the issue that it should separate good, God-fearing people who take their faith in God seriously.
