About John of AllFaith
(Top Expert on this page)

Expertise
Have you been told that God rejects you because of your sexual orientation? Its a lie! God loves you just as you are. I'll be happy to share the truth with you and to answer your biblical questions. Neither the Bible nor God condemns committed same gender relationships and marriages. I can also share information on most other biblical topics as well. Also visit my Grace Inclusive website for many of my biblical studies on this topic.

I prefer questions of a spiritual/religious nature. If you are seeking dating advise and similar topics you would do better to ask someone else.

Experience
I hold an MA in Religious Studies from JKFU, three Christian ordinations and a degree in Interfaith counseling. I am the owner of allfaith.com. I have studied these and related topics for over 40 years and am happy to share with you.

Education/Credentials
I hold an MA in Religious Studies from JKFU, three Christian ordinations, a degree in Interfaith counseling.
