What we can see is that both an incarnation and a virginal conception were thoroughly appropriate to the needs and circumstances of the case and were more "natural", in the sense of more appropriate, than the alternatives... In practice, denial of the virginal conception or inability to see its relevance almost always goes with an inadequate understanding of the Incarnation and of the Christian religion in general.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6602</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Half a man's wisdom goes with his courage. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10330]]></link><description><![CDATA[Half a man's wisdom goes with his courage.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10330</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Coming generations will learn equality from poverty, and love from woes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14129]]></link><description><![CDATA[Coming generations will learn equality from poverty, and love from woes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14129</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you forget you have to struggle for improvement you go backward. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22583]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you forget you have to struggle for improvement you go backward.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22583</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Divorces are happening behind closed doors and the woman is banned from having custody of her children.

We don't despise God's name; in fact, we call upon it constantly to justify ourselves... If we object to meat-eating, we declare that God is vegetarian; if we abhor war, we proclaim a pacifist Deity. He who turned water into wine to gladden a wedding it now accused by many of favouring that abominable fluid grape juice. There can hardly be a more evil way of taking God's name in vain than this way of presuming to speak in it. For here is spiritual pride, the ultimate sin, in action -- the sin of believing in one's own righteousness. The true prophet says humbly, "To me, a sinful man, God spoke." But the scribes and Pharisees declare, "When we speak, God agrees." They feel no need of a special revelation, for they are always, in their own view, infallible. It is this self-righteousness of the pious that most breeds atheism, by inspiring all decent, ordinary men with loathing of the enormous lie.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7805</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I've sometimes thought of marrying, and then I've thought again. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27105]]></link><description><![CDATA[I've sometimes thought of marrying, and then I've thought again.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27105</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Children are the world's most valuable resource and its best hope for the future ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5915]]></link><description><![CDATA[Children are the world's most valuable resource and its best hope for the future]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5915</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Mary Magdalen, Apostle to the Apostles  We are so farre off from condemning any of their labours ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7419]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Mary Magdalen, Apostle to the Apostles  We are so farre off from condemning any of their labours that traveiled before us in this kinds, either in this land or beyond sea, ... that we acknowledge them to have been raised up of God, ... and that they deserve to be had of us and of posteritie in everlasting remembrance... Therefore blessed be they, and most honoured be their name, that breake the yce and give the onset upon that which helpeth forward to the saving of soules. Now what can be more available thereto, than to deliver Gods booke unto the Gods people in a tongue which they understand? ... So if we, building upon their foundation that went before us, and being holpen by their labours, doe endeavor to make that better which they left so good; no man, we are sure, has cause to mislike us; they, we persuade ourselves, if they were alive, would thank us. For is the Kingdom of God become words or syllables? Why should we be in bondage to them if we may be free?

The first is its compromised, deficient understanding of revelation. Without Biblical historicity and veracity behind the Word of God, theology can only grow closer to Hinduism. Second, the modern Christian is drastically weak in an unmediated, persona. experiential knowledge of God. Often, what passes for religious experience is a communal emotion felt in church services, in meetings, in singing or contrived fellowship. Few Christians would know God on their own. Third, the modern church is often pathetically feeble in the expression of its focal principle of community. It has become an adult social club, preaching shop, or minister-dominated group. With these weaknesses, modern Christianity cannot hope to understand why people have turned to the East, let alone stand against the trend and offer an alternative.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6710</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The artist is nothing without the gift, but the gift is nothing without work. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3378]]></link><description><![CDATA[The artist is nothing without the gift, but the gift is nothing without work.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3378</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A break up is like a broken mirror.
