The high priest placed both his hands on the head of a goat and confessed all the sins of the nation. Then the goat carrying the sins of the people is sent off into the wilderness. But it is not just a piece of history!   There is in the modern world a quest for scapegoats though with one enormous difference. Whenever there is an accident or a tragedy, there is a search for someone to blame. Often all the modern means of communication join in; accusations, resignations, demands for compensation and the rest. If a guilty person is found, then an orgy of condemnation and vilification. Rarely a sense of, there but for the grace of God go I. Instead of dealing gently with one another's failure because of our own vulnerability to criticism, there is the presumption that we are in a fit condition to judge and to condemn.   The enormous difference? The original scapegoat followed a confession of the sins of the people. There was no blaming of someone else, but an admission of guilt and a quest for the forgiveness of God. The goat wasn't hated, but was a dramatic picture of the carrying away sins. It was the very opposite of a selfrighteous victimisation of someone else.   Ever since 200 A.D., Christians have seen the scapegoat as a picture of Jesus. As it was led out to die in the wilderness bearing the sins of the people, so he was crucified outside Jerusalem for our sins. We are to be both forgiven and forgiving people.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6372</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And verily, a woman need know but one man well, in order to understand all men; whereas a man may ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60045]]></link><description><![CDATA[And verily, a woman need know but one man well, in order to understand all men; whereas a man may know all women and understand not one of them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60045</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are as free as and free in exactly the sense that our neuronal processes are free. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47556]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are as free as and free in exactly the sense that our neuronal processes are free.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47556</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14291]]></link><description><![CDATA[Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14291</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm happiest when I'm teaching people; I just love it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33354]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'm happiest when I'm teaching people; I just love it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33354</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Habit had made the custom. [Lat., Morem fecerat usus.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18530]]></link><description><![CDATA[Habit had made the custom. [Lat., Morem fecerat usus.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18530</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am bigger than anything that can happen to me. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22302]]></link><description><![CDATA[I am bigger than anything that can happen to me.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22302</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Trinity Sunday   I vehemently dissent from those who would not have private persons read the Holy Scriptures, nor ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7578]]></link><description><![CDATA[Trinity Sunday   I vehemently dissent from those who would not have private persons read the Holy Scriptures, nor have them translated into the vulgar tongues. I would wish that all women -- girls even -- would read the Gospels and the letters of Paul. I wish that they were translated into all languages of all people. To make them understood is surely the first step. It may be that they might be ridiculed by many, but some would take them to heart. I long that the husbandman should sing portions of them to himself as he follows the plough, that the weaver should hum them to the tune of his shuttle, that the traveller should beguile with their stories the tedium of his journey.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7578</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Human beings are not condemned, because of their biological constitution, to annihilate each other or to be at the mercy ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27363]]></link><description><![CDATA[Human beings are not condemned, because of their biological constitution, to annihilate each other or to be at the mercy of a cruel, self-inflicted fate.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27363</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Any alleged Christianity which fails to express itself in cheerfulness, at some point, is clearly spurious.

The problem is doubtless complicated, for there are many honest differences held with equal sincerity, but it is only made insoluble because the different denominations are (possibly unconsciously) imagining God to be Roman or Anglican or Baptist or Methodist or Presbyterian or what have you. If they could see beyond their little inadequate god, and glimpse the reality of God, they might even laugh a little and perhaps weep a little. The result would be a unity that actually does transcend differences, instead of ignoring them with public politeness and private contempt.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7682</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let him fry in his own grease. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51006]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let him fry in his own grease.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51006</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love does not begin and end the way we seem to think it does.
