The issue is complex, both philosophically and theologically; but surely it is inappropriate to blame God for a problem He did not initiate, and [that is] in fact, one which He has sought to alleviate, at great cost to Himself. God sent His Son to inaugurate the Kingdom and to "destroy him who has the power of death, that is, the devil" (Heb. 2:14). God is not the cause of suffering and sickness; He is its cure! Jesus' ministry and death guarantee this.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6456</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'll pu' the budding rose, when Phoebus peeps in view, For its like a baumy kiss o'er her sweet bonnie ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54434]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'll pu' the budding rose, when Phoebus peeps in view, For its like a baumy kiss o'er her sweet bonnie mou'!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54434</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man's personal defects will commonly have with the rest of the world precisely that importance which they have to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15426]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man's personal defects will commonly have with the rest of the world precisely that importance which they have to himself.
