Such an encounter with the historical Jesus is, of course, not the same as Christian faith in him. Even Caiaphas, Herod, and Pontius Pilate encountered him in this way. Christian faith is still a matter of decision -- either this Man is God's redemptive act, or he is not. Nor is the historical Jesus the object of our faith. That object is the Risen Christ preached by the Church. But the Risen Christ is in continuity with the historical Jesus, and it is the historical Jesus which makes the Risen Christ not just an abstraction, but clothes him with flesh and blood.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6405</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feed the musician, and he's out of tune ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43547]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feed the musician, and he's out of tune]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43547</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let us be clear, the proposal before the General Assembly is the fruit of compromise.

He taught that God, as the great feudal superior of the universe, allotted to all earthly authorities their rule in fief as subject to Himself. The priesthood was not an office of dominion, but of service, and its prerogatives ceased when service was not rendered. Dominion was not granted to one person as God's Vicar on earth, but the King was as much God's Vicar as the Pope; nay, every Christian held his rights immediately of God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6754</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The belief that there is only one truth, and that oneself is in possession of it, is the root of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4064]]></link><description><![CDATA[The belief that there is only one truth, and that oneself is in possession of it, is the root of all evil in the world]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4064</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All summer she scattered the daisy leaves; They only mocked her as they fell.  She said: "The daisy but ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10992]]></link><description><![CDATA[All summer she scattered the daisy leaves; They only mocked her as they fell.  She said: "The daisy but deceives;   'He loves me not,' 'he loves me will,'    One story no two daisies tell."     Ah foolish heart, which waits and grieves      Under the daisy's mocking spell.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10992</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The end of the season is coming up, we're starting to see it.

One of the Apes, who had raised himself to beking, commanded them to be seized and brought before him, that hemight know what was said of him among men. He ordered at thesame time that all the Apes be arranged in a long row on hisright hand and on his left, and that a throne be placed for him,as was the custom among men. After these preparations hesignified that the two men should be brought before him, andgreeted them with this salutation: What sort of a king do I seemto you to be, O strangers?' The Lying Traveler replied, You seemto me a most mighty king. And what is your estimate of thoseyou see around me?' These, he made answer, are worthycompanions of yourself, fit at least to be ambassadors andleaders of armies. The Ape and all his court, gratified with thelie, commanded that a handsome present be given to the flatterer. On this the truthful Traveler thought to himself, If so great areward be given for a lie, with what gift may not I be rewarded,if, according to my custom, I tell the truth?' The Ape quicklyturned to him. And pray how do I and these my friends around meseem to you?' Thou art, he said, a most excellent Ape, and allthese thy companions after thy example are excellent Apes too.The King of the Apes, enraged at hearing these truths, gave himover to the teeth and claws of his companions.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1506</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If the bookseller happens to desire a privilege for his merchandise, whether he is selling Rabelais or the Fathers of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52525]]></link><description><![CDATA[If the bookseller happens to desire a privilege for his merchandise, whether he is selling Rabelais or the Fathers of the Church, the magistrate grants the privilege without answering for the contents of the book.   - Voltaire (Francois Marie Arouet Voltaire),]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52525</guid></item></channel></rss>
