But while it is necessary to safeguard the Christian message of the Holy Spirit from the mystical misunderstanding by calling attention to its relation to Jesus Christ, it is necessary on the other hand to safeguard the message of Jesus Christ and His work from the orthodox and rationalist misunderstanding by emphasizing that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord but by the Holy Spirit.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6265</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I gave my life for freedom--This I know; For those who bade me fight had told me so. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16681]]></link><description><![CDATA[I gave my life for freedom--This I know; For those who bade me fight had told me so.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16681</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And the cold marble leapt to life a God. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54934]]></link><description><![CDATA[And the cold marble leapt to life a God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54934</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thou shalt go thou shalt return never in battle shalt thou perish. [Lat., Ibis redibis non morieris in bello.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45222]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thou shalt go thou shalt return never in battle shalt thou perish. [Lat., Ibis redibis non morieris in bello.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45222</guid></item></channel></rss>
