Some people interpret their relationship to God differently because they do not see a dichotomy between 'heart' and 'mind.' This is because the brain is the seat of both thought and emotion, and because the body can't exist without the mind and the mind can't exist without the body.
I must also agree with jar, the problem is trivial. This is because IMO one's relationship with God is continuous and unfolding rather than static and bounded. If stories are provided as a means to understanding, they should be interpreted as parables meant to exemplify a specific lesson under specific circumstances rather than final and unquestionable assertions of the total and precise nature of reality meant for all people throughout all time.
ABE - To provide an example: Are semi-fictional stories, such as the plays of Shakespeare, completely devoid of any truths? And should they contain truths concerning the human condition, are we then compelled to forever use the concept of humours and noxious gasses as the basis of medicine?
