The objective factor is that whole set of facts and truths, of historic events, and of interpretation of them, which is held by the church and set forth in the Bible. The subjective factor is what happens in the crucible of your life and mine when we accept the set of facts and truths and interpretations, and it begins to work in us.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6587</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The LionessA controversy prevailed among the beasts of the field as to which of the animals deserved the most credit ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1546]]></link><description><![CDATA[The LionessA controversy prevailed among the beasts of the field as to which of the animals deserved the most credit for producing the greatest number of whelps at a birth.
