The argument from prophecy, on which the early apologists laid so much weight, was all ex post facto. No one beforehand could have conjectured a tenth of it. But without the background of Jewish prophet and psalmist, of Jewish national history, it would be hard to understand Jesus. If prophet and historian and legislator did not in type and enigma foretell in detail the story of his life, he was none the less their heir. None the less was he their heir in that he was not in bondage to his inheritance, but... a "minister not of the letter but of the spirit", and the whole of his activity lay "in newness of spirit". Without conjecturing what he might have been on another soil or of another stock--a type of guesswork always futile in history--we have to recognize the... immense spiritual wealth that lay ready to his hand.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6360</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Historically that (bass) number is way, way down.

Life in God is not an escape from this, but a way to gain full insight concerning it. It is not our depravity which forces a fictitious religious explanation upon us, but the experience of religious reality which forces the "Night Side" out into the light. It is when we stand in the righteous all-seeing light of love that we can dare to look at, admit, and consciously suffer under this something in us which wills disaster, misfortune, defeat to everything outside the sphere of our narrowest self interest.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7804</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Why is it drug addicts and computer aficionados are both called users? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/587]]></link><description><![CDATA[Why is it drug addicts and computer aficionados are both called users?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/587</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can take no credit for beauty at sixteen.

As he was wandering about there he came upon aLion lying down moaning and groaning. At first he turned to flee,but finding that the Lion did not pursue him, he turned back andwent up to him. As he came near, the Lion put out his paw, whichwas all swollen and bleeding, and Androcles found that a hugethorn had got into it, and was causing all the pain. He pulledout the thorn and bound up the paw of the Lion, who was soon ableto rise and lick the hand of Androcles like a dog. Then the Liontook Androcles to his cave, and every day used to bring him meatfrom which to live. But shortly afterwards both Androcles and theLion were captured, and the slave was sentenced to be thrown tothe Lion, after the latter had been kept without food for severaldays. The Emperor and all his Court came to see the spectacle,and Androcles was led out into the middle of the arena. Soon theLion was let loose from his den, and rushed bounding and roaringtowards his victim. But as soon as he came near to Androcles herecognised his friend, and fawned upon him, and licked his handslike a friendly dog. The Emperor, surprised at this, summonedAndrocles to him, who told him the whole story. Whereupon theslave was pardoned and freed, and the Lion let loose to his nativeforest.Gratitude is the sign of noble souls.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1496</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The army needs to be neutralized, and the best way for doing this is to make sure that certain top ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29106]]></link><description><![CDATA[The army needs to be neutralized, and the best way for doing this is to make sure that certain top figures and second-tier commanders are unwilling to cooperate with the regime should it opt to crackdown.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29106</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Because, you know what your hours are going to be and they also have periods of time off within the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28388]]></link><description><![CDATA[Because, you know what your hours are going to be and they also have periods of time off within the season, that you just don't get on an hour show.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28388</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Adultery - Two wrong people doing the right thing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/647]]></link><description><![CDATA[Adultery - Two wrong people doing the right thing.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/647</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Out did the meate, out did the frolick wine. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13202]]></link><description><![CDATA[Out did the meate, out did the frolick wine.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13202</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are elements of a win because the rate that was going to be in effect for the Web was ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28800]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are elements of a win because the rate that was going to be in effect for the Web was cut in half, and there's no longer a two-tiered structure.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28800</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Heaven has no rage like love to hatred turn'd, Nor hell a fury like a woman scorned. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48925]]></link><description><![CDATA[Heaven has no rage like love to hatred turn'd, Nor hell a fury like a woman scorned.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48925</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The fundamental flaw of vulgar thought lies in the fact that it wishes to content itself with motionless imprints of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26489]]></link><description><![CDATA[The fundamental flaw of vulgar thought lies in the fact that it wishes to content itself with motionless imprints of a reality which consists of eternal motion.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26489</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Bart is a tremendously talented individual with an exceptional intellect, coupled with a strong work ethic and a healthy dollop ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31915]]></link><description><![CDATA[Bart is a tremendously talented individual with an exceptional intellect, coupled with a strong work ethic and a healthy dollop of grounded common sense.

The pride of spiritual gifts had led the Corinthians to jealousy and strife. They had divided into factions owning the leadership, one of Paul, one of Apollos, another of Cephas, and another of Christ -- but such factions, the apostle tells them, were not characteristics of the "spiritual", but of the carnal. To divide the Church was to destroy the temple of God, where the Holy Spirit dwelt among them (I Cor. 3:1, 3, 16). And the very gifts about which they quarreled should have been a power to unite them, for they all proceeded from one and the same Spirit, from one and the same Lord, from one and the same God, who worketh all in all. The Spirit was indeed the principle of unity in the Church, "for in one Spirit were we all baptized into one body" (I Cor. 12:13). Therefore, to divide the Church was to drive away the Spirit... The tests of spiritual phenomena in the life of the community, and the proofs that they were of the Holy Spirit, were unity, order, and edification.

It resents dictation, not willfully nor wantonly, but because it must; and it resents it all the more when it claims to be inspired.
