The distinction is of tremendous importance. The phrase "Word of God" as used in the Bible itself, notably in the opening sentences of the Fourth Gospel, is an English translation of a Greek word, Logos, which was in wide use among philosophers at the time the New Testament was written. It connotes the creative, outgoing, self-revealing activity of God. The Logos was not a particular divine utterance, but God's overall message to mankind. It was not necessarily communicated verbally in speech or writing. Indeed, the whole point of Christianity is that the supreme communication of the Word took place when it was expressed through a human life and personality in Jesus Christ.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8270</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No persons are more frequently wrong, than those who will not admit they are wrong. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63165]]></link><description><![CDATA[No persons are more frequently wrong, than those who will not admit they are wrong.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63165</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I really just want to be warm yellow light that pours over everyone I love. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66474]]></link><description><![CDATA[I really just want to be warm yellow light that pours over everyone I love.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66474</guid></item></channel></rss>
