What we can see is that both an incarnation and a virginal conception were thoroughly appropriate to the needs and circumstances of the case and were more "natural", in the sense of more appropriate, than the alternatives... In practice, denial of the virginal conception or inability to see its relevance almost always goes with an inadequate understanding of the Incarnation and of the Christian religion in general.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6602</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What shall I do to be forever known, And make the age to come my own? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15105]]></link><description><![CDATA[What shall I do to be forever known, And make the age to come my own?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15105</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What to do if you find yourself stuck in a crack in the ground underneath a giant boulder you can't ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34016]]></link><description><![CDATA[What to do if you find yourself stuck in a crack in the ground underneath a giant boulder you can't move, with no hope of rescue.
