First, that He was a Sabbath-breaker. Secondly, that He was "a gluttonous man and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners" -- or (to draw aside the veil of Elizabethan English that makes it sound so much more respectable) that He ate too heartily, drank too freely, and kept very disreputable company, including grafters of the lowest type and ladies who were no better than they should be. For nineteen and a half centuries, the Christian Churches have laboured, not without success, to remove this unfortunate impression made by their Lord and Master. They have hustled the Magdalens from the Communion-table, founded Total Abstinence Societies in the name of Him who made the water wine, and added improvements of their own, such as various bans and anathemas upon dancing and theatre-going. They have transferred the Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday, and, feeling that the original commandment "Thou shalt not work" was rather half-hearted, have added to it the new commandment, "Thou shalt not play.".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6874</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It reminds me of PIO, or pilot induced oscillation, a lag in the plane's response to a pilot moving the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40734]]></link><description><![CDATA[It reminds me of PIO, or pilot induced oscillation, a lag in the plane's response to a pilot moving the stick, ...

It was there that he received the first public witness of his Messianic role and found his first followers. The gospel was to be rooted in John's teaching of asceticism and regeneration. But we see from the start that the gospel of Jesus was to be quite different. To the baptism of water would be added the baptism of the Spirit, and the new message was to be addressed to all. The widening of the circle of hearers and converts, which had preoccupied John, was to expand still further with the gospel of Jesus. Of the hundreds of thousands of Jews, the Essenes only regarded as saved a few thousand elect. Jesus was soon to offer the Covenant of God to all men.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6635</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I will be as harsh as truth and as uncompromising as justice. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53959]]></link><description><![CDATA[I will be as harsh as truth and as uncompromising as justice.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53959</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Necessity never made a good bargain. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3730]]></link><description><![CDATA[Necessity never made a good bargain.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3730</guid></item></channel></rss>
