"Flesh" means sin and corruption, and is opposed to the Spirit; but embodiment, outward manifestation, concrete form, is not opposed to the Spirit. "Carnal" means sinful and hostile to God; the evil spirits, who we suppose possess no bodies, are carnal, but the Son of God became man, the Word was made flesh, He took upon Him a human body as well as a reasonable soul. God's ways and thoughts are not ours. While the abstract and ethereal imaginations of human reason create a god, who is not spirit, and whom they do not worship in spirit and truth, the God of the Bible is God manifest in the flesh -- Emmanuel... Did not Jesus, after His resurrection, eat before His disciples, who gave Him a piece of a broiled fish and honey? Is not the earth to be the scene of God's triumph and manifestation? Whatever is revealed in spiritual, whatever man imagines is carnal; the end of the ways of God is embodiment.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7091</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Achieving life is not the equivalent of avoiding death. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11403]]></link><description><![CDATA[Achieving life is not the equivalent of avoiding death.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11403</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[While guys are doing repairs in one location, another part of the crew is looting another location in the city. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30725]]></link><description><![CDATA[While guys are doing repairs in one location, another part of the crew is looting another location in the city.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30725</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I believe in grumbling; it is the politest form of fighting known. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1246]]></link><description><![CDATA[I believe in grumbling; it is the politest form of fighting known.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1246</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Here is my first principle of foreign policy: good government at home. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18046]]></link><description><![CDATA[Here is my first principle of foreign policy: good government at home.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18046</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love, hope, fear, faith--these make humanity; These are its sign and note and character. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19949]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love, hope, fear, faith--these make humanity; These are its sign and note and character.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19949</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Once you replace negative thoughts with positive ones, you 'll start having positive results. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64959]]></link><description><![CDATA[Once you replace negative thoughts with positive ones, you 'll start having positive results.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64959</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There wasn't anything I could do about it.

Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us, it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43237</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's very hard for adults to change their personality, and Harvard needs a personality who can get all the faculty ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30742]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's very hard for adults to change their personality, and Harvard needs a personality who can get all the faculty and schools to work together for the good of the university.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30742</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have to look at how shall we regulate the so-called political market.
