What causes this odd state of affairs? The root cause is the same as in most cases of error in the Church--the intruding of rationalistic speculations, the passion for systematic consistency, a reluctance to recognize the existence of mystery and to let God be wiser than men, and a consequent subjecting of Scripture to the supposed demands of human logic. People see that the Bible teaches man's responsibility for his actions; they do not see how this is consistent with the sovereign Lordship of God over those actions. They are not content to let the two truths live side by side, as they do in the Scriptures, but jump to the conclusion that, in order to uphold the biblical truth of human responsibility, they are bound to reject the equally biblical and equally true doctrine of divine sovereignty, and to explain away the great number of texts that teach it. The desire to over-simplify the Bible by cutting out the mysteries is natural to our perverse minds, and it is not surprising, that even good men should fall victims to it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6773</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The image of Eternity--the throne Of the Invisible; even from out thy slime  The monsters of the deep are ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44881]]></link><description><![CDATA[The image of Eternity--the throne Of the Invisible; even from out thy slime  The monsters of the deep are made; each zone   Obeys thee; thou goest forth, dread, fathomless, alone.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44881</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A rod twelve feet long and a ring of wire, A winder and barrel, will help thy desire  In ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16098]]></link><description><![CDATA[A rod twelve feet long and a ring of wire, A winder and barrel, will help thy desire  In killing a Pike; but the forked stick,   With a slit and a bladder,--and that other fine trick,    Which our artists call snap, with a goose or a duck,--     Will kill two for one, if you have any luck;      The gentry of Shropshire do merrily smile,       To see a goose and a belt the fish to beguile;        When a Pike suns himselfe and a-frogging doth go,         The two-inched hook is better, I know,          Than the ord'nary snaring: but still I must cry,           When the Pike is at home, minde the cookery.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16098</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's been a source of dismay and consternation to all of us to figure out how they were really going ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31099]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's been a source of dismay and consternation to all of us to figure out how they were really going to determine that,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31099</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Aim at heaven and you get earth thrown in.
