But since we are not favored with daily oracles from heaven, and since it is only in the Scriptures that the Lord hath been pleased to preserve His truth in perpetual remembrance, it obtains the same complete credit and authority with believers, when they are satisfied of its divine origin, as if they heard the very words pronounced by God Himself... Let it be considered, then, as an undeniable truth, that they who have been inwardly taught by the Spirit feel an entire acquiescence in the Scripture, and that it is self-authenticated, carrying with it its own evidence, and ought not to be made the subject of demonstration and arguments from reason; but it obtains the credit which it deserves with us by the testimony of the Spirit.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7525</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is so critical that on every level, every individual becomes prepared. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28825]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is so critical that on every level, every individual becomes prepared.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28825</guid></item></channel></rss>
