Life at
its best
By Rev. Jeannie Udall
inor
Young lovers arestarry-eyed l pig le n who feel an immense love
one another. All they really re awarewaof is that everything about th
being together is exciting and complete.
Just a few years down the road, what seems to stand out more
sionately than anything else is the fact that your true -love leaves
top off the toothpaste, or the apple -of -your -eye drops his coat at
door!
Marriage counsellors call this 'majoring in minor'. We tend to
those small, unimportant or trivial things and blow them all out of
portion.
This doesn't just happen to couples. Christians also find themselv
doing battle with one another - majoring in minor.
As Christians, essentially our faith content is the same. God
present to all the world. Jesus is God's Son who brings a message
love and hope for all people.
(That's the 'nut -shell' version. The expanded version takes a lifetim
to hear!)
What the world hears most is Christians knit-pickin? over how the
faith stance is arrived at. We have, on one side, Christians who see
Bible as literal, word-for-word dictation of God's every thought and d
sire,
On the other side are those who claim those sane Scriptures to be
collection of poetry, songs, laments, narrations and letters offered
the faithful reflection of God's people.
Tom Harper, former editor of The Toronto Star, suggests that the li
teralistic mind -set allows people only two choices. Either they dismi
the whole faith stance as unbelievable, or at least, remote from the
lives.
Or, they accept it all as historically factual and become slaves to
system of thought that makes Jesus as idol and themselves dependent
unthinking children cut off from all who do not share their views.
You understand, Harpur is in the business of creating controversy!
I am aware that for many fundamentalists, the Bible is, indeed, a
blueprint for present and future world events. And for them, there is a
precise doctrine formulated neatly for all time and Filace.
However, this simple, country preacher takes a different view.
Since the 66 -odd writings of 'books' of the bible were done in differ-
ent places by differing people at different periods of time - some even
centuries apart - I anticipate seeing a development or process to the
faith content.
I also expect to have to enter into that faith process as I live out my
faith in this Twentieth Century! I see religious language as being pic-
ture or image language that bears much of the mark of humanity as we
interact with the Divine.
Unlike Harpur, I believe that either approach is both valid and true.
Arguing whether one is a literalist or an interpretationalist ranks right
up there with the toothpaste cap!
Whatever your own approach to the Bible is, ultimately Scripture is
intended to reveal the compassionate nature of God for all people of
the world.
Debating whether or not Jonah was really swallowed by a whale, or
if Saul was selected Kin$ because of political, ambition or predestina-
tion of Divine Will, is simply to ignore the larger issue of our shared
love as Christians.
Beside that - its also futile! Every person of faith has their own indi-
vidual approach to God and that will not change.
I recall the experience of a Guest Lecturer at a fundamentalist Col-
lege. He wanted to argue that it was not a miracle that God parted the
waters of the Red Sea, allowing Moses and his people to escape from
Egypt.
ande'�edwe�teqanilly Hebrew translation Therefore,
, suggested ptebosi'red'
crossed through some reeds. G
At this point, one of the students jumped up, shouting, "its another
miracle!" After all, God had managed to drown all those pursuing sol-
diers in just two feet of water!
The bottom line is - regardless of how you receive your faith stance,
what really matters is whether or not your faith makes you a kinder,
more compassionate person.
As the ancient proverb goes, "What you DO speaks so !loudly that
one cannot possibly hear what it is you say!" - --- — -
