Sat nam. I recommend you speak the truth. Money is one of the

temptations that we face, and especially in tough economic times and

more especially if there are others depending on us, it can be

tempting to edit our comments to please a potential employer.

Personally, I do not see a conflict. This is the same God that Jesus

spoke of, but over the centuries, some churches have come to

misunderstand Jesus' words, and pass those misunderstandings on to

following generations.

God is All - Everything - including us. Jesus said he was the son of

God, and that we are all children of God. That is true enough. None of

us is the whole God, so it would be fair enough, in a poetic sense, to

say that we are all children of God. Christians instruct that we must

let God into our hearts. That means the same thing as connecting with

the Infinite. If your toe does not let blood or nerve impulses in from

the rest of your body, that does not mean that your toe is not part of

your body. That means that at that moment, your toe is not letting the

rest of your body in. Again this is a poetic analogy, but it is just

as important to let God (meaning the rest of the Infinite, and

recognize that we are part of God) as it is important that your toe

let blood and other things in from the rest of your body.

I heard in a Christian church that God is everywhere. Yogi Bhajan said

that if you can not see God in all, you can not see God at all. That

sounds the same to me. Some Christians have gotten confused by the two

statements about God being everywhere and how you must let God into

your heart. On one level, a person could reason that if you do not let

God into your heart, than God must not be there - but communication is

limited by language, which is why we must have a direct understanding

ourselves. Jesus could only point the way - people have to take the

actually journey ourselves. That is part of what Jesus was trying to say.

If the pastor does not see God as you do, than perhaps you belong

somewhere else. Remember that the word " interview " includes the prefix

" inter- " which means that you both are to view each other for the

potential employer/employee relationship. Do your side of the

interview by asking the pastor exactly how he understands God. You

explain your understanding of God the best that you can. If the two of

you agree, it could be a great match. If you do not, then you would

not be happy in your job. Not being truthful to your spirit will cost

your soul in ways that you may not see now. We are only in human

bodies as part of a journey for our true selves, so it is important to

not pay for our bodies with our spirits.

Truth is your identity. Be yourself. Be truthful. Sat nam.

I'm an interfaith minister, so we use general terms like the One, Great Spirit, the Universe, All that Is, the Creator, Sustainer, Liberator, Forgiver of our shortcomings, the perfection of love, harmony and beauty, the Only Being, etc. Best of luck.Jagat Kaur
