What causes this odd state of affairs? The root cause is the same as in most cases of error in the Church--the intruding of rationalistic speculations, the passion for systematic consistency, a reluctance to recognize the existence of mystery and to let God be wiser than men, and a consequent subjecting of Scripture to the supposed demands of human logic. People see that the Bible teaches man's responsibility for his actions; they do not see how this is consistent with the sovereign Lordship of God over those actions. They are not content to let the two truths live side by side, as they do in the Scriptures, but jump to the conclusion that, in order to uphold the biblical truth of human responsibility, they are bound to reject the equally biblical and equally true doctrine of divine sovereignty, and to explain away the great number of texts that teach it. The desire to over-simplify the Bible by cutting out the mysteries is natural to our perverse minds, and it is not surprising, that even good men should fall victims to it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6773</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fail to honor people,they fail to honor you; but of a good leader, who talks little, when his work is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19699]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fail to honor people,they fail to honor you; but of a good leader, who talks little, when his work is done, his aims fulfilled, they will all say, 'We did this ourselves.']]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19699</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hardly a year passes that fails to find a new, oft-times exotic, research method or technique added to the armamentarium ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9549]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hardly a year passes that fails to find a new, oft-times exotic, research method or technique added to the armamentarium of political inquiry.
