To the contrary, it is inherent in the Bible, for the Bible declares itself to be the Word of God. If it be the Word of God, its various teachings should all form a coherent unity. This presupposition of the Bible's unity provides a test for the validity of a system of interpretation: if the system is not able to demonstrate the Bible's unity, it must be an inadequate system.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6298</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fishing, with me, has always been an excuse to drink in the daytime ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16093]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fishing, with me, has always been an excuse to drink in the daytime]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16093</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm not for gratuitous nudity, but if there's humor, I don't have a problem. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44706]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'm not for gratuitous nudity, but if there's humor, I don't have a problem.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44706</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you can look back on your life with contentment, you have one of man's most precious gifts -- a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9992]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you can look back on your life with contentment, you have one of man's most precious gifts -- a selective memory.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9992</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We had nothing to lose.

Unless this is borne in mind, there will be a dangerous optimistic tendency to sweep aside doubts and fears as irrelevant, since, in the state that the projectors have in mind, power will be exercised by men of a wisdom and degree of moral virtue that we have not yet seen. It won't.
