Being in Jerusalem was an interesting experience for several reasons. i was hoping to get a feeling, to be moved by the historical reality of where i was standing. My entire life has been Christianity – taking it to the point of graduate studies. But since the age of 20 or so, i have been reacting to/against my up-bringing and to this day, much of what i read and study is reactionary… maybe some of you will understand this.
Today i don’t see an answer, i don’t believe in earthly Truth but i do believe in earthly Faith. The Truth is only in that other realm, the one in which Christians and muslims hope to spend an eternity. This earth, for lack of secular wording, is fallen – therefore Truth has taken many ‘fruity’ shapes. The tree in itself is irrelevant – the Ripeness (a.k.a. Taste) of the fruit, according to Jesus, determines the state of the Tree, not the TYPE of fruit – there are many kinds of fruit bearing plants in the world, from bushes to large trees, and many of them bear good fruit (true goodness can only be of God). So maybe we should stop worrying about the Type of Tree AND the Type of Fruit and divert our attention to the amazing array of wonderful/exotic flavors revealed around the world… He is boundless, perhaps this attribute needs to be believed before being so easily spoken…?
