The issue is complex, both philosophically and theologically; but surely it is inappropriate to blame God for a problem He did not initiate, and [that is] in fact, one which He has sought to alleviate, at great cost to Himself. God sent His Son to inaugurate the Kingdom and to "destroy him who has the power of death, that is, the devil" (Heb. 2:14). God is not the cause of suffering and sickness; He is its cure! Jesus' ministry and death guarantee this.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6456</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you go flying back through time, and you see somebody else flying forward into the future, it's probably best ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63138]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you go flying back through time, and you see somebody else flying forward into the future, it's probably best to avoid eye contact.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63138</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I do love My country's good with a respect more tender,  More holy and profound, then mine own life, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45815]]></link><description><![CDATA[I do love My country's good with a respect more tender,  More holy and profound, then mine own life,   My dear wife's estimate, her womb increase,    And treasure of my loins.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45815</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If anything, we did overkill, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35570]]></link><description><![CDATA[If anything, we did overkill,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35570</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I feel no need for any other faith than my faith in the kindness of human beings.
