Although I became familiar with the contemporary and recent studies of honest, competent scholars who questioned them, I was convinced that the historical evidence confirms the virgin birth and the bodily resurrection of Christ. Increasingly, I believed that the nearest verbal approach that we human beings can come to the great mystery is to affirm that Christ is both fully man and fully God. Although now we see Him not, yet believing, we can "rejoice with joy unspeakable" in what the Triune God has done and is doing through Him. This Good News, so rich that it is stated in a variety of ways, but always consistently, in the New Testament, is what we always imperfect children, but children [yet], are privileged -- and commanded -- to make known and to demonstrate to all mankind.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6313</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Conversation makes one what he is. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49181]]></link><description><![CDATA[Conversation makes one what he is.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49181</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A tomb now suffices him for whom the whole word was not sufficient. [Lat., Sufficit huic tumulus, cui non suffecerit ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14101]]></link><description><![CDATA[A tomb now suffices him for whom the whole word was not sufficient. [Lat., Sufficit huic tumulus, cui non suffecerit orbis.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14101</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They have this fantastic nugget of historical material from the Gilded Age.

The old man told him that he worshipped the fire only, and acknowledged no other God. At which answer Abraham grew so zealously angry, that he threw the old man out of his tent, and exposed him to all the evils of the night and an unguarded condition. When the old man was gone, God called to Abraham, and asked him where the stranger was. He replied, "I thrust him away, because he did not worship thee." God answered him, "I have suffered him these hundred years, though he dishonoured me; and wouldst thou not endure him one night?".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7290</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Law is commands joined to threats of punishment ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38873]]></link><description><![CDATA[Law is commands joined to threats of punishment]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38873</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Exploitation and oppression is not a matter of race.
