What we can see is that both an incarnation and a virginal conception were thoroughly appropriate to the needs and circumstances of the case and were more "natural", in the sense of more appropriate, than the alternatives... In practice, denial of the virginal conception or inability to see its relevance almost always goes with an inadequate understanding of the Incarnation and of the Christian religion in general.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6602</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That man's a fool whose sheep flees twice. - Oji proverb ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28503]]></link><description><![CDATA[That man's a fool whose sheep flees twice. - Oji proverb]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28503</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If gaming does an aged sire entice, Then my young master swiftly learns the vice. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48947]]></link><description><![CDATA[If gaming does an aged sire entice, Then my young master swiftly learns the vice.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48947</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He is one really tough guy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32269]]></link><description><![CDATA[He is one really tough guy.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32269</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No, the czar did not want us in the schools. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42046]]></link><description><![CDATA[No, the czar did not want us in the schools.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42046</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are seeing voluntary restrictions by stations, ...

In these days, when men are so gladly hearing afresh that "in Him there is no darkness at all"; that God, therefore could not have created any man if He knew that he must live in torture to all eternity; and that His hatred to evil cannot be expressed by injustice, itself the one essence of evil, -- for certainly it would be nothing less than injustice to punish infinitely what was finitely committed, no sinner being capable of understanding the abstract enormity of what he does, -- in these days has a arisen another falsehood, less, yet very perilous: thousands of half-thinkers imagine that, since it is declared with such authority that hell is not everlasting, there is then no hell at all. To such folly, I, for one, have never given enticement or shelter. I see no hope for many, no way for the divine love to reach them, save through a very ghastly hell. Men have got to repent; there is no other escape for them, and no escape from that.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8106</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life is wasted on the living. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25026]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life is wasted on the living.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25026</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing is small or great in God's sight; whatever He wills becomes great to us, however trifling, and if once ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6831]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing is small or great in God's sight; whatever He wills becomes great to us, however trifling, and if once the voice of conscience tells us that He requires anything of us, we have no right to measure its importance.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6831</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You don't have to deserve your mother's love.

Conviction in the midst of waverers, fiery energy in a world of disillusion, purity in an age of easy morals, firm brotherhood in a loose society, heroic courage in a time of persecution, formed a problem that could not be set aside, however polite society might affect to ignore it: and the religion of the future turned on the answer to it.
