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!" - --- — - for eir Pas- the' a- the take Pro - es is of e ir the e a as ss ir a Voters of Exeter Elect Harry M.
