For the system of those who, in order to rid themselves of difficulties, do not hesitate to concede that divine inspiration regards the things of faith and morals, and nothing beyond, because (as they wrongly think) in a question of the truth or falsehood of a passage, we should consider not so much what God has said as the reason and purpose which He had in mind in saying it--this system cannot be tolerated. For all the books which the Church receives as sacred and canonical, are written wholly and entirely, with all their parts, at the dictation of the Holy Ghost: and so far is it from being possible that any error can co-exist with inspiration, that inspiration not only is essentially incompatible with error, but excludes and rejects it as absolutely and necessarily as it is impossible that God Himself, the supreme Truth, can utter that which is not true.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6350</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[...the fog is rising. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24139]]></link><description><![CDATA[...the fog is rising.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24139</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I know that there are a lot of people out there with stories far worse than mine but you, too, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64953]]></link><description><![CDATA[I know that there are a lot of people out there with stories far worse than mine but you, too, can make it.
