They can only be true if God says them, and consequently also when the God-Man says them. And indeed since it is true, it is the very limit of suffering.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8206</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We really get two weeks instead of three (after the dead period).

He only seemed to inhabit a material body, and from the Greek word dokein ["to seem"], people who held this theory were known as Docetists. But if Christ's incarnation was unreal, His death and resurrection were also unreal; and the whole gospel message was thus evacuated of its truth and power: one unhappy legacy of this short-lived phase of Christian heresy remains to bedevil Christian witness to Muslims up to the present day. For when the Koran says of Jesus that "they did not kill Him, nor did they crucify Him, but they thought they did", we may infer that Muhammad was indebted for this idea to a Christian source tainted with Docetism.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6715</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[War will cease when men refuse to fight. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27657]]></link><description><![CDATA[War will cease when men refuse to fight.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27657</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Good intentions aren't good enough! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22941]]></link><description><![CDATA[Good intentions aren't good enough!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22941</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Of all the benefits which virtue confers on us, the contempt of death is one of the greatest. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60795]]></link><description><![CDATA[Of all the benefits which virtue confers on us, the contempt of death is one of the greatest.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60795</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's not that often you see a contract settle without concessions in this day and age.

It remains the great problem of interpretation, hitherto never entirely solved, how to unite these two things: the keen attention to what Paul wanted to say to that community then, and the search for what God wants to say to us through Paul today. In the end, the question is whether the reader will really allow God to speak to him, or whether he evades God by hiding behind "Paul", behind "the past".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6802</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing is small or great in God's sight; whatever He wills becomes great to us, however trifling, and if once ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6831]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing is small or great in God's sight; whatever He wills becomes great to us, however trifling, and if once the voice of conscience tells us that He requires anything of us, we have no right to measure its importance.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6831</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Challenges make you discover things about yourself that you never really knew.
