Instead of the living, loving, self-manifesting God of the Old Testament Israel now took hold of the abstract idea of the unity, or rather the unicity, of God, as if that were God. Before -- when they lived in communion with God, when God was known to them as a Person, speaking, acting, blessing, who had chosen them, who was educating them, and who was going to fulfill His promises -- they declared, in opposition to the idolatrous nations that surrounded them, that this God of Israel was one God, that there are not many gods; but when they lost communion with God, in order to show what distinguished them from the nations of the earth, and especially from Christians, they emphasized that God in Himself was only one Person, and not as He is revealed to us in the Scripture: Sender, Sent, and Spirit. It is the boast of the modern Jewish synagogue that their great mission is to testify to the world the unity of God. But it is a striking fact that the Gentile nations who have, since the dispersion of Israel, been converted from idolatry, have been influenced, not by the synagogue, but by the congregations of Jesus Christ, and were baptized in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost... It is one thing to believe in justification by faith, it is another thing to be justified by faith; and so it is one thing to believe in God, who is One, and it is another to believe in the numerical abstraction, in the mere idea of unicity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7341</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A woman will doubt everything you say except it be compliments to herself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64732]]></link><description><![CDATA[A woman will doubt everything you say except it be compliments to herself.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64732</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Please Note: "Ouch" is not a term used in Judo. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23552]]></link><description><![CDATA[Please Note: "Ouch" is not a term used in Judo.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23552</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If that child's behavior is so severe that it warrants a behavior plan, that plan needs to be followed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37255]]></link><description><![CDATA[If that child's behavior is so severe that it warrants a behavior plan, that plan needs to be followed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37255</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Most writers regard truth as their most valuable possession, and therefore are most economical in its use. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59876]]></link><description><![CDATA[Most writers regard truth as their most valuable possession, and therefore are most economical in its use.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59876</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When asked what State he hails from, Our sole reply shall be,  He comes from Appomattox   And ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2408]]></link><description><![CDATA[When asked what State he hails from, Our sole reply shall be,  He comes from Appomattox   And its famous apple tree.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2408</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Small service is true service while it lasts: Of humblest friends, bright Creature! scorn not one;  The Daisy, by ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55229]]></link><description><![CDATA[Small service is true service while it lasts: Of humblest friends, bright Creature! scorn not one;  The Daisy, by the shadow that it casts,   Protects the lingering dew drop from the Sun.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55229</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thee too, my Paridel! she mark'd thee there, Stretch'd on the rack of a too easy chair,  And heard ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20344]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thee too, my Paridel! she mark'd thee there, Stretch'd on the rack of a too easy chair,  And heard thy everlasting yarn confess   The Pains and Penalties of Idleness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20344</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When we acknowledge that all of life is sacred and that each act is anact of choice and therefore sacred, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21975]]></link><description><![CDATA[When we acknowledge that all of life is sacred and that each act is anact of choice and therefore sacred, then life is a sacred dance livedconsciously each moment.
