If, however, they mean that we should expect results merely by repeating the actual phrases found in the New Testament, then they are mistaken. They are making, in fact, one of the basic mistakes in verbal communication, which is to confuse words with what they describe. The gospel is something God has done, not a series of phrases describing it. Saying this does not undermine the Christian's belief in the inspiration of the Bible, for the important thing about the Bible is what it talks about, rather than the way it does the talking. If we considered that there was the same degree of essential inspiration in the way it does the talking, then we would have to insist that every Christian learn Hebrew and Greek. The mere fact that we in the Western world read translations of the scriptures is a clear admission that times and cultures have changed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8305</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What is this frog and mouse battle among the mathematicians? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26511]]></link><description><![CDATA[What is this frog and mouse battle among the mathematicians?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26511</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life often presents us with a choice of evils rather than of goods. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6086]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life often presents us with a choice of evils rather than of goods.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6086</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you want others to be happy, practice compassion.
