It is because the word "inerrant" makes these methodological points about handling the Bible, ruling out in advance the use of mental procedures that can only lead to reduced and distorted versions of Christianity, that it is so valuable and, I think, so much valued by those who embrace it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6263</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Devil, can sometimes do a very gentlemanly thing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64880]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Devil, can sometimes do a very gentlemanly thing.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64880</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm here and I'm ready.
