It's like riding a bicycle or swimming: You learn by doing.   .. Luis Palau  March 14, 2001   Most evangelicals believe that if a passage of the Bible seems unclear in its meaning, it should be interpreted in the light of Scripture "as a whole". But what does "Scripture as a whole" mean? In practice, if not theory, it means the working systematic theology of the interpreter, or of his own theological tradition. An evangelical... would not hold to that tradition unless he believed that it did represent the wholeness of the biblical witness. Nevertheless, if this state of affairs has been correctly described, he is now in a serious difficulty. For if the Bible must always accord with a theology that has already been accepted, how can the truth of a biblical passage ever confront him afresh with an unfavorable judgment?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6354</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Take the first advice of a woman and not the second. [Lat., Primo dede mulieris consilio, secundo noli.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/786]]></link><description><![CDATA[Take the first advice of a woman and not the second. [Lat., Primo dede mulieris consilio, secundo noli.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/786</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This I believe: that the free, exploring mind of the individual human is the most valuable thing in the world. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47506]]></link><description><![CDATA[This I believe: that the free, exploring mind of the individual human is the most valuable thing in the world.

And again, in any prosperity of ourselves or others, we must not omit to testify our recognition of God's hand by praise and thanksgiving. Lastly, we must in all our prayers carefully avoid wishing to confine God to certain circumstances, or prescribe to him the time, place, or mode of action. In like manner, we are taught by [the Lord's] prayer not to fix any law or impose any condition upon him, but leave it entirely to him to adopt whatever course of procedure seems to him best, in respect of method, time, and place. For, before we offer up any petition for ourselves, we ask that his will may be done, and by so doing place our will in subordination to his, just as if we had laid a curb upon it, that, instead of presuming to give law to God, it may regard him as the ruler and disposer of all its wishes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7494</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He said: 'Judge me as an accused person.

To justify Christianity because it provides a foundation of morality, instead of showing the necessity of Christian morality from the truth of Christianity, is a very dangerous inversion; and we may reflect that a good deal of the attention of totalitarian states has been devoted with a steadfastness of purpose not always found in democracies, to providing their national life with a foundation of morality -- the wrong kind, perhaps, but a good deal more of it. It is not enthusiasm, but dogma, that differentiates a Christian from a pagan society.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8028</guid></item></channel></rss>
