What we can see is that both an incarnation and a virginal conception were thoroughly appropriate to the needs and circumstances of the case and were more "natural", in the sense of more appropriate, than the alternatives... In practice, denial of the virginal conception or inability to see its relevance almost always goes with an inadequate understanding of the Incarnation and of the Christian religion in general.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6602</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I were better to be eaten to death with a rust than to be scoured to nothing with perpetual motion. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55913]]></link><description><![CDATA[I were better to be eaten to death with a rust than to be scoured to nothing with perpetual motion. -King Henry IV.
