It's like riding a bicycle or swimming: You learn by doing.   .. Luis Palau  March 14, 2001   Most evangelicals believe that if a passage of the Bible seems unclear in its meaning, it should be interpreted in the light of Scripture "as a whole". But what does "Scripture as a whole" mean? In practice, if not theory, it means the working systematic theology of the interpreter, or of his own theological tradition. An evangelical... would not hold to that tradition unless he believed that it did represent the wholeness of the biblical witness. Nevertheless, if this state of affairs has been correctly described, he is now in a serious difficulty. For if the Bible must always accord with a theology that has already been accepted, how can the truth of a biblical passage ever confront him afresh with an unfavorable judgment?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6354</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Liberals tend to put the onus of your success on society and conservatives on you and your family. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9861]]></link><description><![CDATA[Liberals tend to put the onus of your success on society and conservatives on you and your family.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9861</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are only two kinds of people who are really fascinating; people who know absolutely everything, and people who know ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46048]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are only two kinds of people who are really fascinating; people who know absolutely everything, and people who know absolutely nothing.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46048</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Outside noisy, inside empty. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21412]]></link><description><![CDATA[Outside noisy, inside empty.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21412</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am not anti-American.

Again and again in the Pentateuch, the psalms, the prophets, and the subsequent writings which derive from them, the claim is made that the creator of the entire universe has chosen to live uniquely on a small ridge called Mount Zion, near the eastern edge of the Judean hill-country. The sheer absurdity of this claim, from the standpoint of any other worldview (not least that of Enlightenment philosophy), is staggering. The fact that Assyria, Egypt, Babylon, Persia, Greece, Egypt again, Syria and now Rome had made explicit mockery of the idea did not shake this conviction, but only intensified it. This was what Jewish monotheism looked like on the ground.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7318</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Infants manners are moulded more by the example of Parents, then by stars at their nativities. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49555]]></link><description><![CDATA[Infants manners are moulded more by the example of Parents, then by stars at their nativities.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49555</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The primary function of the government is - and here I am quoting directly from the U.S. Constitution - "to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17965]]></link><description><![CDATA[The primary function of the government is - and here I am quoting directly from the U.S. Constitution - "to spew out paper."]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17965</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can miss one player, but it's tough when you're missing four. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42692]]></link><description><![CDATA[You can miss one player, but it's tough when you're missing four.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42692</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Man, without religion, is the creature of circumstances. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8712]]></link><description><![CDATA[Man, without religion, is the creature of circumstances.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8712</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Marriage: A word which should be pronounced "mirage";. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26426]]></link><description><![CDATA[Marriage: A word which should be pronounced "mirage";.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26426</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A drunkards purse is a bottle. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49013]]></link><description><![CDATA[A drunkards purse is a bottle.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49013</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our commander said the Viet Cong are farmers by day.. guerillas by night. Look for those who are tired. So ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45965]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our commander said the Viet Cong are farmers by day.. guerillas by night. Look for those who are tired. So anyone who yawned was getting popped.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45965</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was very, very challenging.

But either there is "pie in the sky" or there is not. If there is not, then Christianity is false, for this doctrine is woven into its whole fabric.

For that life is won only from death and the good only from the evil is a piece of thoroughly worldly knowledge which is not strange to the Christian. But all this has nothing to do with the temptation of which Christ speaks. It simply does not touch the reality which is meant here. The temptation of which the whole Bible speaks does not have to do with the testing of my strength, for it is of the very essence of temptation in the Bible that all my strength -- to my horror, and without my being able to do anything about it -- is turned against me; really all my powers, including my good and pious powers (the strength of my faith), fall into the hands of the enemy power and are now led into the field against me. Before there can be any testing of my powers, I have been robbed of them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8614</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To understand the world one must not be worrying about one's self. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62215]]></link><description><![CDATA[To understand the world one must not be worrying about one's self.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62215</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I distrust the incommunicable; it is the source of all violence ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23621]]></link><description><![CDATA[I distrust the incommunicable; it is the source of all violence]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23621</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People who want to share their religious views with you almost never want you to share yours with them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46040]]></link><description><![CDATA[People who want to share their religious views with you almost never want you to share yours with them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46040</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There has been some spotty signs of a cooling in the broader housing market. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39113]]></link><description><![CDATA[There has been some spotty signs of a cooling in the broader housing market.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39113</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The distance is great from the firm belief to the realization from concrete experience.rn ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64391]]></link><description><![CDATA[The distance is great from the firm belief to the realization from concrete experience.rn]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64391</guid></item></channel></rss>
