Paul does not, in fact, speak (when he is using the language strictly) of "justification by faith", but of "justification by grace through faith," or "on the grounds of faith." This is not mere verbal subtlety.

This terrible subject would require a book to itself. Here it will be enough to say that the Heavenly Society is also an earthly society. Our (merely natural) patriotism towards the latter can very easily borrow the transcendent claims of the former and use them to justify the most abominable actions. If ever the book which I am not going to write is written, it must be the full confession by Christendom of Christendom's specific contribution to the sum of human cruelty and treachery. Large areas of "the World" will not hear us till we have publicly disowned much of our past. Why should they? We have shouted the name of Christ and enacted the service of Moloch.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8501</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Poetry is simply the most beautiful, impressive, and widely effective mode of saying things ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42226]]></link><description><![CDATA[Poetry is simply the most beautiful, impressive, and widely effective mode of saying things]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42226</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Capitalism without bankruptcy is like Christianity without hell. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47343]]></link><description><![CDATA[Capitalism without bankruptcy is like Christianity without hell.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47343</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hope! of all ills that men endure, The only cheap and universal cure. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19779]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hope! of all ills that men endure, The only cheap and universal cure.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19779</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You miss 100% of the shots you never take. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54287]]></link><description><![CDATA[You miss 100% of the shots you never take.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54287</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have other fish to fry. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16063]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have other fish to fry.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16063</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10319]]></link><description><![CDATA[It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10319</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Last year was huge.
