The issue is complex, both philosophically and theologically; but surely it is inappropriate to blame God for a problem He did not initiate, and [that is] in fact, one which He has sought to alleviate, at great cost to Himself. God sent His Son to inaugurate the Kingdom and to "destroy him who has the power of death, that is, the devil" (Heb. 2:14). God is not the cause of suffering and sickness; He is its cure! Jesus' ministry and death guarantee this.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6456</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The wrongs of a Husband or Master are not reproached. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49942]]></link><description><![CDATA[The wrongs of a Husband or Master are not reproached.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49942</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is interest in Kuwait and Iran regarding cooperation on the issue of restoration, as the dried marshes adversely affects ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29818]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is interest in Kuwait and Iran regarding cooperation on the issue of restoration, as the dried marshes adversely affects all three of those countries and others on the [Persian] Gulf.
