We see more clearly than often has been the case that ecclesiology and christology are one. The ekklesia, the community of believers, has as its first and foremost qualification that it is that community which, as community, belongs to Christ and is in Christ, and as such is the sphere of God's salvation, redemption, and reconciliation, and of Christ's rulership. This is the archetypal reality of the Church. To see and seize this essential point is a great blessing. This blessing, however, could as well become a curse, if it remained a theme of theological meditation and self-contemplation. This new knowledge is not real knowledge if it is not accompanied by a horror about the alienation of the empirical Church from its own fundamental reality and by a deep longing for a tangible manifestation of the Church's true nature. This horror and this longing are the deeper motives which are operating in many of the events and passionate discussions around the place and responsibility of the laity as an organic part of the Church.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6663</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My classes are really challenging.

This agreement being made, the Physician, time after time, applied his salve to her eyes, and on every visit took something away, stealing all her property little by little. And when he had got all she had, he healed her and demanded the promised payment. The Old Woman, when she recovered her sight and saw none of her goods in her house, would give him nothing. The Physician insisted on his claim, and. as she still refused, summoned her before the Judge. The Old Woman, standing up in the Court, argued: This man here speaks the truth in what he says; for I did promise to give him a sum of money if I should recover my sight: but if I continued blind, I was to give him nothing. Now he declares that I am healed. I on the contrary affirm that I am still blind; for when I lost the use of my eyes, I saw in my house various chattels and valuable goods: but now, though he swears I am cured of my blindness, I am not able to see a single thing in it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1569</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Words pay no debts. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51757]]></link><description><![CDATA[Words pay no debts.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51757</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Truth is confirmed by inspection and delay; falsehood by haste and uncertainty. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18792]]></link><description><![CDATA[Truth is confirmed by inspection and delay; falsehood by haste and uncertainty.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18792</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Argentina could be the next market to be attacked and since the Argentine market is so close to Brazil, that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35005]]></link><description><![CDATA[Argentina could be the next market to be attacked and since the Argentine market is so close to Brazil, that could bring trouble for us.

Since it happened only once, it is by Hume's standards infinitely improbable. But then, the whole history of the Earth has also happened only once: is it therefore incredible? Hence the difficulty, which weighs upon Christian and atheist alike, of estimating the probability of the Incarnation. It is like asking whether the existence of nature herself is intrinsically probable. That is why it is easier to argue, on historical grounds, that the Incarnation actually occurred than to show, on philosophical grounds, the probability of its occurrence.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8514</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I heard his library burned down and both books were destroyed -- and one of them hadn't even been colored ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4568]]></link><description><![CDATA[I heard his library burned down and both books were destroyed -- and one of them hadn't even been colored in yet.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4568</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Lack of sensitivity is perhaps basically an unawareness of ourselves. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52365]]></link><description><![CDATA[Lack of sensitivity is perhaps basically an unawareness of ourselves.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52365</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm really into those shows.
