He only seemed to inhabit a material body, and from the Greek word dokein ["to seem"], people who held this theory were known as Docetists. But if Christ's incarnation was unreal, His death and resurrection were also unreal; and the whole gospel message was thus evacuated of its truth and power: one unhappy legacy of this short-lived phase of Christian heresy remains to bedevil Christian witness to Muslims up to the present day. For when the Koran says of Jesus that "they did not kill Him, nor did they crucify Him, but they thought they did", we may infer that Muhammad was indebted for this idea to a Christian source tainted with Docetism.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6715</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you're safe at home you wish you were having an adventure; when you're having an adventure you wish you ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54638]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you're safe at home you wish you were having an adventure; when you're having an adventure you wish you were safe at home]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54638</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sorrow concealed, like an oven stopp'd, Doth burn the heart to cinders, where it is. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51497]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sorrow concealed, like an oven stopp'd, Doth burn the heart to cinders, where it is.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51497</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Jesus did not finish all the urgent tasks in Palestine or all the things He would have liked to do, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7349]]></link><description><![CDATA[Jesus did not finish all the urgent tasks in Palestine or all the things He would have liked to do, but He did finish the work which Gad gave Him to do.

Examples could be multiplied. This type of service is a great witness to the reality of Christian life and faith; but it presupposes a spirit of fellowship within the Church, a spirit which is all too rare. It means that there is mutual respect and trust between the minister and the members of his Church; and a spirit of fellowship which is outward-looking and which issues in service.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6521</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[While I plan, and plan, my hair Is gray before I know it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51725]]></link><description><![CDATA[While I plan, and plan, my hair Is gray before I know it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51725</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What helps me go forward is that I stay receptive, I feel that anything can happen. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29459]]></link><description><![CDATA[What helps me go forward is that I stay receptive, I feel that anything can happen.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29459</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Stolen sweets are best. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59075]]></link><description><![CDATA[Stolen sweets are best.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59075</guid></item></channel></rss>
