I wish more Christians could be like this (including myself). Uncompromising and fearless passion for the truth of the Bible, and uncompromising and fearless passion for the love of our neighbour. It is not often that you see both together.
I've opened this up to the public religious debates room to hear other's thoughts on this. If all Christians acted in this manner, while still upholding key and often controversial Biblical truths, would it change your perspective on Christianity/Christians?
It would at least help us to live more peaceably with each other. (Not that people of other faiths or non-faith don't contribute more than their fair share of vitriol, but that isn't the topic for today. )
Have you ever encountered in your own personal experience a Christian that was very much conservative and firm on Biblical issues, while at the same time being incredibly loving and other-centred, to the point where it was noticeable and maybe even gave you a second thought on your attitude of Christians in general?
