For instance, although there are some 200,000 "errors" among the New Testament manuscripts, these appear in only about 10,000 places, and only about one-sixtieth rise above the level of trivialities. Westcott and Hort, Ezra Abbot, Philip Schaff, and A. T. Robertson have carefully evaluated the evidence and have concluded that the New Testament text is over 99 percent pure. In the light of the fact that there are over 5,000 Greek manuscripts, some 9,000 versions and translations, the evidence for the integrity of the New Testament is beyond question.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6703</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's almost a death wish in a way.

To be a Christian means to forgive the inexcusable, because God has forgiven the inexcusable in you. This is hard. It is perhaps not so hard to forgive a single injury. But to forgive the incessant provocations of daily life -- to keep on forgiving the bossy mother-in-law, the bullying husband, the nagging wife, the selfish daughter, the deceitful son -- how can we do it? Only, I think, by remembering where we stand, by meaning our words when we say in our prayers each night, "Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us." We are offered forgiveness on no other terms. To refuse it means to refuse God's mercy for ourselves. There is no hint of exceptions and God means what He says.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8494</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Money is the fruit of evil, as often as the root of it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15853]]></link><description><![CDATA[Money is the fruit of evil, as often as the root of it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15853</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Impersonal realities do indeed exercise over me some kinds of constraint, as does the wind when it constrains me to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8156]]></link><description><![CDATA[Impersonal realities do indeed exercise over me some kinds of constraint, as does the wind when it constrains me to battle against it or the rain when it compels me to take shelter. But the constraint of which I have been speaking is of a wholly different kind; it is a constraint to be pure-minded and loyal-hearted, to be kind and true and tender, and to love my neighbour as myself. And what could possibly be meant by saying that any reality of an impersonal kind could exercise over me such a constraint as that? I have never been able to see that it could mean anything at all. I have never been able to see how any being that is not a person could possess a moral and spiritual claim over me.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8156</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no body will go to hell for company. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49954]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no body will go to hell for company.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49954</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is up to us to give ourselves recognition.
