If Abraham's migration can no longer be explained as part of a larger Amorite migratory stream from east to west, it should be noted that what has fallen by the wayside is a scholarly hypothesis, not the Biblical text. Genesis itself presents the movement from Haran to Canaan as an individual, unique act undertaken in response to a divine call -- an event, not an incident -- that inaugurates a new and decisive stage in God's plan of history. The factuality or otherwise of this Biblical evaluation lies beyond the scope of scholarly research.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6735</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hee lookes not well to himselfe that lookes not ever. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49432]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hee lookes not well to himselfe that lookes not ever.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49432</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mmm...

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[Superior strength is found in the long run to lie with those who had right on their side. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57954]]></link><description><![CDATA[Superior strength is found in the long run to lie with those who had right on their side.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57954</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An old friend is a new house. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49128]]></link><description><![CDATA[An old friend is a new house.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49128</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A good parson once said that where mystery begins religion ends. Cannot I say, as truly at least, of human ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24250]]></link><description><![CDATA[A good parson once said that where mystery begins religion ends. Cannot I say, as truly at least, of human laws, that where mystery begins, justice ends?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24250</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I learned long ago, never to wrestle with a pig, you get dirty; and besides, the pig likes it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15665]]></link><description><![CDATA[I learned long ago, never to wrestle with a pig, you get dirty; and besides, the pig likes it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15665</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Here is my first principle of foreign policy: good government at home. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18046]]></link><description><![CDATA[Here is my first principle of foreign policy: good government at home.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18046</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you consider all the stars I have managed, mere submarines make me smile. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66745]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you consider all the stars I have managed, mere submarines make me smile.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66745</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A woman has to be intelligent, have charm, a sense of humor, and be kind.

For to be vain, or proud, or covetous, or ambitious, in the common course of our business, is as contrary to these holy tempers of Christianity as cheating and dishonesty. If a glutton were to say, in excuse of his gluttony, that he only eats such things as it is lawful to eat, he would make as good an excuse for himself as the greedy, covetous, ambitious tradesman that would say that he only deals in lawful business. For, as a Christian is not only required to be honest, but to be of a Christian spirit, and make his life an exercise of humility, repentance, and heavenly affection, so all tempers that are contrary to these are as contrary to Christianity as cheating is contrary to honesty.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7230</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sow an act and you reap a habit.
