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, Our Love's Rivalry with Religion.

What does it mean to believe in Jesus?

What is the role of belief with respect to our attainment of eternal life in Heaven?

Acts 16:31 says, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved.”

There are some Christians who interpret this verse superficially and conclude that recognizing the existence of Jesus as the Christ grants one eternal life. Muslims rightly criticize this view because it suggests that no works of righteousness are necessary for the believer to attain eternal life. 

In my YouTube video, I will address this issue from both the Christian and Muslim perspectives.
