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[We've had some tough basketball games this year.

It is only a side effect of His actual presence in our souls, and gives no sure indication of that presence in any case.

It has failed to understand that the world is not for the beholding. It is for hearing. It is not legible, but audible. Our science has always desired to monitor, measure, abstract, and castrate meaning, forgetting that life is full of noise and that death alone is silent: work noise, noise of man, and noise of beast. Noise bought, sold, or prohibited. Nothing essential happens in the absence of noise.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36924</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whither goest thou? [Lat., Quo vadis?] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48576]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whither goest thou? [Lat., Quo vadis?]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48576</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A bill of rights is what the people are entitled to against every government on earth, general or particular, and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17949]]></link><description><![CDATA[A bill of rights is what the people are entitled to against every government on earth, general or particular, and what no just government should refuse, or rest on inferences]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17949</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you have seven percent unemployed, you have ninety-three percent working. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45194]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you have seven percent unemployed, you have ninety-three percent working.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45194</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Could I come near your beauty with my nails, I 'd set my ten commandments in your face. -King Henry ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55980]]></link><description><![CDATA[Could I come near your beauty with my nails, I 'd set my ten commandments in your face. -King Henry VI.
