fogs 3h, The Hereld, Friday, March 27, 1961 Has theology replaced Jesus? WINNIPEG § (CP) Pastor Herbert Barber, a Peteran television Wangellst, seems to slip ‘FHAt into his role when he complains about the iitection Christianity has in the last 100 years. me: a big man with a ‘dep, commanding dravl, asys that over the years Any churchmen have oa from the Christian mth tage and adopted a new theological stance. ‘It's a whole mental stance, a whole philosophical approach in education, in religion, in science, in ‘pociety,"’ he said in an in- terview in his office at the Calvary Temple, a Pen- tecostal Church. “And that philosophical approach adapted to religion has resulted in a rejection of the final authority of scripture and a questioning of the deity of Jesus Christ, of the fundamental doctrines ‘af the Christian Church.” _ Barber, a pastor for 2 years, was speaking ‘cautiously when he said the majority of United Church ‘ministers in Canada don’t believe in the traditional ‘Christian concept of the Bible. oo, “Please be careful in ‘quoting me, please,"’. he said. “The majority of them do not preach that a man must be born again in order to he a Christian and to enter heayen. The majority teach * that you try to live by your conscience, try to live by the Golden Rule, be good to your neighbor, be a good citizen and you are a good Christian. ' That is not the position of — ‘either the Presbyterian . Church or the Methodist Church or the Congregational Church, which were the three churches that went together in 1925 to make the United Church ef Canadas. I know hecause my ancestors preached in these churches and I have copies of their sermons and I know that they preached in the Methodist Church what Iam preaching today in the Pen- tecoatal Church.” Barber said he wants to be a spokesman for what he called the historic Bible. “]'m preaching that apart from saving faith in Jesus Christ, men and women, re- gardiess of how cultured tley may be, are. not Christians,” he said. “They may be cultured, sophisticated, civilized, highly educated, very polite and very nice people, but without a personal relationship . with Jesus Christ ... they aren’t Bible Christians, ” Barber has, been delivering his message on television for 20 years. His Sunday show, Faith to Live By, is seen by viewers in most of Western Canada. Barber said he prefers to think of himself as a messenger for Christ and resents some of the politicking American evan- gelists have used. One example is the Moral Majority group in the United States, which campaigned aggressively last year for President Ronaid Reagan and the Republicans.
