"Flesh" means sin and corruption, and is opposed to the Spirit; but embodiment, outward manifestation, concrete form, is not opposed to the Spirit. "Carnal" means sinful and hostile to God; the evil spirits, who we suppose possess no bodies, are carnal, but the Son of God became man, the Word was made flesh, He took upon Him a human body as well as a reasonable soul. God's ways and thoughts are not ours. While the abstract and ethereal imaginations of human reason create a god, who is not spirit, and whom they do not worship in spirit and truth, the God of the Bible is God manifest in the flesh -- Emmanuel... Did not Jesus, after His resurrection, eat before His disciples, who gave Him a piece of a broiled fish and honey? Is not the earth to be the scene of God's triumph and manifestation? Whatever is revealed in spiritual, whatever man imagines is carnal; the end of the ways of God is embodiment.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7091</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Anybody who thinks we can achieve all we set out to achieve in the first three months of our six ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39007]]></link><description><![CDATA[Anybody who thinks we can achieve all we set out to achieve in the first three months of our six months presidency is either an optimist or naive, ... judge us at the end of the presidency.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39007</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I was known as the chief grave robber of my state. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47082]]></link><description><![CDATA[I was known as the chief grave robber of my state.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47082</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The fact that slaughter [battle] is a horrifying spectacle must make us take war more seriously, but [it does] not ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47403]]></link><description><![CDATA[The fact that slaughter [battle] is a horrifying spectacle must make us take war more seriously, but [it does] not provide an excuse for gradually blunting our swords in the name of humanity.

His presence must never be used to provide a Christian justification for evil. To stand as a co-belligerent and not an ally will be to rally the middle ground for a genuine Third Way without mediocre compromise. The Third Way will not be easy. It will be lonely. Sometimes the Christian must have the courage to stand with the establishment, speaking boldly to the radicals and pointing out the destructive and counter-productive nature of their violence. At other times, he will stand as a co-belligerent with the radicals in their outrage and just demands for redress. The Christian is a co-belligerent with either or both when either or both are right, but... fearless in his opposition to either or both when they are wrong.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6397</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4191]]></link><description><![CDATA[And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on a tree: Him God raised up the third day, and shewed him openly; Not to all the people, but unto witnesses chosen before of God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he rose from the dead.
