Whereas Jesus placed the penitent heart and the saving will of God higher than the pride of the godly and the letter of the Torah, so Paul preached faith in Christ as the only way to salvation and rejected striving after righteousness through the works of the Law. Above all, Jesus knew himself to be the Messiah and he acted in messianic authority; hence the risen and glorified Jesus was acknowledged as the king of the last days. It is still faith, not sight, that is demanded from men.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6234</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Contempt is the weapon of the weak and a defense against one's own despised and unwanted feelings. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9927]]></link><description><![CDATA[Contempt is the weapon of the weak and a defense against one's own despised and unwanted feelings.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9927</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't bother discussing sex with small children.
