If, however, they mean that we should expect results merely by repeating the actual phrases found in the New Testament, then they are mistaken. They are making, in fact, one of the basic mistakes in verbal communication, which is to confuse words with what they describe. The gospel is something God has done, not a series of phrases describing it. Saying this does not undermine the Christian's belief in the inspiration of the Bible, for the important thing about the Bible is what it talks about, rather than the way it does the talking. If we considered that there was the same degree of essential inspiration in the way it does the talking, then we would have to insist that every Christian learn Hebrew and Greek. The mere fact that we in the Western world read translations of the scriptures is a clear admission that times and cultures have changed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8305</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The chief cause of failure and unhappiness is trading what we want most for what we want in the moment ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60085]]></link><description><![CDATA[The chief cause of failure and unhappiness is trading what we want most for what we want in the moment]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60085</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Great wits are sure to madness near allied, And thin partitions do their bounds divide. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61816]]></link><description><![CDATA[Great wits are sure to madness near allied, And thin partitions do their bounds divide.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61816</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I cannot say the crow is white, But needs must call a spade a spade. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43650]]></link><description><![CDATA[I cannot say the crow is white, But needs must call a spade a spade.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43650</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Anger wishes that all mankind had only one neck; love, that it had only one heart; grief, two tear-glands; and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2551]]></link><description><![CDATA[Anger wishes that all mankind had only one neck; love, that it had only one heart; grief, two tear-glands; and pride, two bent knees.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2551</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For a smart material to be able to send out a more complex signal it needs to be nonlinear.
