For instance, although there are some 200,000 "errors" among the New Testament manuscripts, these appear in only about 10,000 places, and only about one-sixtieth rise above the level of trivialities. Westcott and Hort, Ezra Abbot, Philip Schaff, and A. T. Robertson have carefully evaluated the evidence and have concluded that the New Testament text is over 99 percent pure. In the light of the fact that there are over 5,000 Greek manuscripts, some 9,000 versions and translations, the evidence for the integrity of the New Testament is beyond question.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6703</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's been a long time since a visit to America stopped being an infallible formula for strengthening the reputation of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41119]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's been a long time since a visit to America stopped being an infallible formula for strengthening the reputation of European politicians.

This supposition rests upon a misunderstanding of what is meant by "the Kingdom of God"... The Kingdom itself is not something to be "furthered" or "built" by men's efforts. It is something which we are invited to recognize as already present, after a manner, in the life and work of Jesus. It is something to be inherited or entered into by those who believe. The task of the Church, in other words, is not to set the stage for a better world than this one but to draw the curtain from it, to reveal something that is already there.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7818</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All the suffering and joy we experience depend on conditions. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63876]]></link><description><![CDATA[All the suffering and joy we experience depend on conditions.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63876</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Just as a fire is covered by smoke and a mirror is obscured by dust, just as the embryo rests ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15997]]></link><description><![CDATA[Just as a fire is covered by smoke and a mirror is obscured by dust, just as the embryo rests deep within the womb, wisdom is hidden by selfish desire.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15997</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42866]]></link><description><![CDATA[Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42866</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Creativity comes from trust.

Yet people attempt to evade His statement. Generally speaking, these are the very people who are the quickest in laying the blame upon God for all the sorrow and sin in the world. They argue that He could prevent it. They excuse their own do-nothing attitude by making of evil's apparent predominance a ground for doubt of His loving kindness.
