For my part, I cannot sufficiently bewail the Condition of the Reformed Churches, who are come to a Period in Religion and will go at present no farther than the instruments of their Reformation. The Lutheran can't be drawn to go beyond what Luther saw; and the Calvinists, you see, stick fast where they were left by that great man of God, who yet saw not all things...

It is because the word "inerrant" makes these methodological points about handling the Bible, ruling out in advance the use of mental procedures that can only lead to reduced and distorted versions of Christianity, that it is so valuable and, I think, so much valued by those who embrace it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6263</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life is as tedious as a twice-told tale, Vexing the dull ear of a drowsy man,  And bitter shame ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51345]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life is as tedious as a twice-told tale, Vexing the dull ear of a drowsy man,  And bitter shame hath spoiled the sweet world's taste,   That it yields nought but shame and bitterness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51345</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Can anything be so elegant as to have few wants, and to serve them one's self? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13703]]></link><description><![CDATA[Can anything be so elegant as to have few wants, and to serve them one's self?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13703</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Despair ruins some, presumption many. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12025]]></link><description><![CDATA[Despair ruins some, presumption many.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12025</guid></item></channel></rss>
