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[A good orator is pointed and impassioned. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52499]]></link><description><![CDATA[A good orator is pointed and impassioned.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52499</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We did a good job with Ruiz, and we had a couple of clear chances, but we could not capitalize ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31661]]></link><description><![CDATA[We did a good job with Ruiz, and we had a couple of clear chances, but we could not capitalize on them,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31661</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What I spent, is gone; what I kept, I lost;/ but what I gave away will be mine forever. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34755]]></link><description><![CDATA[What I spent, is gone; what I kept, I lost;/ but what I gave away will be mine forever.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34755</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Justice discards party, friendship, kindred, and is therefore always represented as blind. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23631]]></link><description><![CDATA[Justice discards party, friendship, kindred, and is therefore always represented as blind.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23631</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Liberty and Union, now and forever, one and inseparable. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60150]]></link><description><![CDATA[Liberty and Union, now and forever, one and inseparable.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60150</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People are like stained-glass windows.
