To deny God, man must ultimately deny that there is any law or reality. The full implications of this were seen in the [19th] century by two profound thinkers, one a Christian and the other a non-Christian.   [Friedrich W.] Nietzsche recognized fully that every atheist is an unwilling believer to the extent that he has any element of justice or order in his life, to the very extent that he is even alive and enjoys life. In his earlier writings, Nietzsche first attempted the creation of another set of standards and values, affirming life for a time, until he concluded that he could not affirm life itself nor give it any meaning, any value, apart from God. Thus Nietzsche's ultimate counsel was suicide; only then, [he asserted] can we truly deny God: and in his own life, this brilliant thinker -- one of the clearest in his description of modern Christianity and the contemporary issue -- did in effect commit a kind of psychic suicide.   The same concept was powerfully developed by [Fyodor M.] Dostoyevski, particularly in The Possessed, or, more literally, the Demon-Possessed. Kirilov, a thoroughly Nietzschean character, is very much concerned with denying God, asserting that he himself is God and that man does not need God. But at every point, Kirilov finds that no standard or structure in reality can be affirmed without ultimately asserting God, that no value can be asserted without being ultimately de rived from the Triune God. As a result, Kirilov committed suicide as the only apparently practical way of denying God and affirming himself -- for to be alive was to affirm this ontological deity in some fashion.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7565</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every day the church here (in Antioch] feeds 3000 people.

Whose is it? The clue lies in Acts 12, where St. Peter, strangely freed from Herod's prison, knows at whose house they will be gathered for prayer. He knocks, startles the gate-girl Rhoda. It was "the house of Mary the mother of John whose surname was Mark" -- the young man who was to write the earliest of the gospels. The first meeting place of any Christian congregation was the home of a woman in Jerusalem. Something of the sort happens everywhere. The church in Caesarea centres upon Philip the Evangelist. "Now this man had four daughters, virgins, which did prophesy." ... Joppa church depends on Tabitha, "a woman full of good works and almsdeeds which she did". Follow St. Paul about the Mediterranean. He crosses to Europe because he dreams of a man from Macedonia who cries, "Come over and help us". But when he lands at Philippi it is not a man, but a woman. "Lydia was baptized and her household" -- his first convert in Europe, a woman. Everywhere women are the most notable of the converts, often the only ones who believe. In Thessalonica there are "of the chief women not a few"; Beroea, "Greek women of honourable estate"; Athens, only two names, one of them, Damaris, a woman. At Corinth Priscilla and Aquila come into the story, the pair always mentioned together, and four times out of the six with the wife's name first, a thing undreamed of in the first century. Why? Because she counted for more in church affairs -- hostess of the church in her houses in Corinth, Ephesus and Rome, chief instructress of Apollos the missionary, intimate of the greatest missionary of all, St. Paul. Six times in the Epistles greetings are sent to a house-church, and in five cases the church is linked with a woman's name.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6865</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's critical that as the host nation, Canadian athletes have spectacular results. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31224]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's critical that as the host nation, Canadian athletes have spectacular results.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31224</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And it is easy to believe you are not good enough if you listen to everybody else. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41253]]></link><description><![CDATA[And it is easy to believe you are not good enough if you listen to everybody else.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41253</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[[The late-breaking action in the Houston criminal trial came moments after Harmon ruled that the jurors do not have to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29661]]></link><description><![CDATA[[The late-breaking action in the Houston criminal trial came moments after Harmon ruled that the jurors do not have to unanimously agree on one] corrupt persuader ... acted knowingly and with corrupt intent.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29661</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One of the biggest drivers in the male marketplace now in cosmetic surgery is men who are 40-plus who use ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42563]]></link><description><![CDATA[One of the biggest drivers in the male marketplace now in cosmetic surgery is men who are 40-plus who use this as a tool to look healthy, to look young, to look vibrant.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42563</guid></item></channel></rss>
