Instead of the living, loving, self-manifesting God of the Old Testament Israel now took hold of the abstract idea of the unity, or rather the unicity, of God, as if that were God. Before -- when they lived in communion with God, when God was known to them as a Person, speaking, acting, blessing, who had chosen them, who was educating them, and who was going to fulfill His promises -- they declared, in opposition to the idolatrous nations that surrounded them, that this God of Israel was one God, that there are not many gods; but when they lost communion with God, in order to show what distinguished them from the nations of the earth, and especially from Christians, they emphasized that God in Himself was only one Person, and not as He is revealed to us in the Scripture: Sender, Sent, and Spirit. It is the boast of the modern Jewish synagogue that their great mission is to testify to the world the unity of God. But it is a striking fact that the Gentile nations who have, since the dispersion of Israel, been converted from idolatry, have been influenced, not by the synagogue, but by the congregations of Jesus Christ, and were baptized in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost... It is one thing to believe in justification by faith, it is another thing to be justified by faith; and so it is one thing to believe in God, who is One, and it is another to believe in the numerical abstraction, in the mere idea of unicity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7341</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A cup concealed in the dress is rarely honestly carried. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50174]]></link><description><![CDATA[A cup concealed in the dress is rarely honestly carried.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50174</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[[The state] doesn't have any evidence of harassment.

During his reign he made a royal proclamation for a general assembly of all the birds and beasts, and drew up conditions for a universal league, in which the Wolf and the Lamb, the Panther and the Kid, the Tiger and the Stag, the Dog and the Hare, should live together in perfect peace and amity. The Hare said, Oh, how I have longed to see this day, in which the weak shall take their place with impunity by the side of the strong. And after the Hare said this, he ran for his life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1515</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The truth is incontrovertible, malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end; there it is. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59780]]></link><description><![CDATA[The truth is incontrovertible, malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end; there it is.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59780</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12651]]></link><description><![CDATA[But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12651</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you can't go around it, over it, or through it, you had better negotiate with it ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12308]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you can't go around it, over it, or through it, you had better negotiate with it]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12308</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Princess and the Pea. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36287]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Princess and the Pea.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36287</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Stillness of person and steadiness of features are signal marks of good breeding. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52810]]></link><description><![CDATA[Stillness of person and steadiness of features are signal marks of good breeding.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52810</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All I want is a warm bed and a kind word and unlimited power. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47913]]></link><description><![CDATA[All I want is a warm bed and a kind word and unlimited power.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47913</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I've never let my school interfere with my education. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13367]]></link><description><![CDATA[I've never let my school interfere with my education.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13367</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A blond in a red dress can do without introductions -- but not without a bodyguard. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2835]]></link><description><![CDATA[A blond in a red dress can do without introductions -- but not without a bodyguard.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2835</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life is a dead-end street. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24902]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life is a dead-end street.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24902</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Looking into my heart, which is perhaps the best way of looking into other men's, I know that the Savior ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7142]]></link><description><![CDATA[Looking into my heart, which is perhaps the best way of looking into other men's, I know that the Savior I want is one of whom I can say with Thomas of old, "My Lord and my God".
