Many otherwise intelligent people have never read with adult attention either the four Gospels or the Letters of the New Testament. When they so do, to my certain knowledge they not infrequently become converted. Indeed, I know of no adult who has seriously studied the New Testament and rejected the stories of Christ as mythical or the evidence of changed lives in the Letters as mere fabrication.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7832</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Setting aside the scandal caused by His Messianic claims and His reputation as a political firebrand, only two accusations of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7289]]></link><description><![CDATA[Setting aside the scandal caused by His Messianic claims and His reputation as a political firebrand, only two accusations of personal depravity seem to have been brought against Jesus of Nazareth. First, that He was a Sabbath-breaker. Secondly, that He was "a gluttonous man and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners" -- or (to draw aside the veil of Elizabethan English that makes it sound so much more respectable) that He ate too heartily, drank too freely, and kept very disreputable company, including grafters of the lowest type and ladies who were no better than they should be. For nineteen and a half centuries, the Christian Churches have laboured, not without success, to remove this unfortunate impression made by their Lord and Master. They have hustled the Magdalens from the Communion-table, founded Total Abstinence Societies in the name of Him who made the water wine, and added improvements of their own, such as various bans and anathemas upon dancing and theatre-going. They have transferred the Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday, and, feeling that the original commandment "Thou shalt not work" was rather half-hearted, have added to it the new commandment, "Thou shalt not play.".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7289</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In books, or work, or healthful play, Let my first years be past,  That I may give for every ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62158]]></link><description><![CDATA[In books, or work, or healthful play, Let my first years be past,  That I may give for every day   Some good account at last.   - Isaac Watts,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62158</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I know nothing about sex, because I was always married. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53287]]></link><description><![CDATA[I know nothing about sex, because I was always married.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53287</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of John Bosco, Priest, Founder of the Salesian Teaching Order, 1888   The Abrahamic Covenant is not only ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6766]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of John Bosco, Priest, Founder of the Salesian Teaching Order, 1888   The Abrahamic Covenant is not only totally different from the Mosaic Covenant, but there is no "throw-back" of any feature of the Mosaic period in Genesis. Abraham and Moses not only lived in two uniquely different worlds, but no Old Testament editor tried in any way to soften the glaring contrasts between the two spiritual giants. Abraham had no Tabernacle, with its minute ritual and special clergy. Abraham was given nothing like the detailed code of life demanded by the Sinai Covenant. Abraham was not even furnished with the basic Ten Commandments. And yet, when we turn to the New Testament, it is Abraham who holds the place of honor, and not Moses! Abraham is mentioned over seventy times in the New Testament, and half of these are in the Gospels.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6766</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That miscellaneous collection of a few wise and many foolish individuals, called the public. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52480]]></link><description><![CDATA[That miscellaneous collection of a few wise and many foolish individuals, called the public.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52480</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In your free time, you will choose who to hang out with.

How human is the God of the Old Testament -- the God who appears, speaks, guides, who loves and is loved, even as the Man of the New Testament, Christ Jesus, is divine! This difference between the idea of an absolute and infinite God and the God of Scripture is, after all, that which separates the true believer and Christian from the natural man.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7160</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They condemn that which they cannot comprehend. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48883]]></link><description><![CDATA[They condemn that which they cannot comprehend.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48883</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To live thus -- to cram today with eternity and not wait the next day -- the Christian has learnt ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8067]]></link><description><![CDATA[To live thus -- to cram today with eternity and not wait the next day -- the Christian has learnt and continues to learn (for the Christian is always learning) from the Pattern. How did He manage to live without anxiety for the next day -- He who from the first instant of His public life, when He stepped forward as a teacher, knew how His life would end, that the next day was His crucifixion; knew this while the people exultantly hailed Him as King (ah, bitter knowledge to have at precisely that moment!); knew, when they were crying, Hosanna!, at His entry into Jerusalem, that they would cry, "Crucify Him!", and that it was to this end that He made His entry. He who bore every day the prodigious weight of this superhuman knowledge -- how did He manage to live without anxiety for the next day?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8067</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's a bit shocking no movie has done it by now. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31687]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's a bit shocking no movie has done it by now.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31687</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This could be our new favorite place to play.
