If, however, they mean that we should expect results merely by repeating the actual phrases found in the New Testament, then they are mistaken. They are making, in fact, one of the basic mistakes in verbal communication, which is to confuse words with what they describe. The gospel is something God has done, not a series of phrases describing it. Saying this does not undermine the Christian's belief in the inspiration of the Bible, for the important thing about the Bible is what it talks about, rather than the way it does the talking. If we considered that there was the same degree of essential inspiration in the way it does the talking, then we would have to insist that every Christian learn Hebrew and Greek. The mere fact that we in the Western world read translations of the scriptures is a clear admission that times and cultures have changed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8305</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Demagogue: one who preaches doctrines he knows to be untrue to men he knows to be idiots. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47500]]></link><description><![CDATA[Demagogue: one who preaches doctrines he knows to be untrue to men he knows to be idiots.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47500</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is nothing certain except the unforeseen. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14524]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is nothing certain except the unforeseen.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14524</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA["How does the Water Come down at Lodore?" ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61307]]></link><description><![CDATA["How does the Water Come down at Lodore?"]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61307</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's getting better every day. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40723]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's getting better every day.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40723</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was one of the deadliest and heaviest feelings of my life to feel that I was no longer a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1851]]></link><description><![CDATA[It was one of the deadliest and heaviest feelings of my life to feel that I was no longer a boy.

However, not every one of them is inhabited. Any finite number divided by infinity is as near nothing as makes no odds, so the average population of all the planets in the Universe can be said to be zero. From this it follows that the population of the whole Universe is also zero, and that any people you may meet from time to time are merely products of a deranged imagination.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34017</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Man's Unhappiness, as I construe, comes of his Greatness; it is because there is an Infinite in him, which with ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18248]]></link><description><![CDATA[Man's Unhappiness, as I construe, comes of his Greatness; it is because there is an Infinite in him, which with all his cunning he cannot quite bury under the Finite.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18248</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One who is contented with what he has done will never become famous for what he will do.
