The Church of the Lord Jesus should be a group of those who are redeemed and bound together on the basis of true doctrine. But subsequently they should show together a substantial "sociological healing" of the breaches between men, which have come about because of... man's sin. The Christian sociological position is that the sociological problems which we find... are a result of the separation that has come between men because of sin.

Here, in 1878, Engels apodictically announced that military weapons are "now so perfected that no further progress of any revolutionizing influence is any longer possible." Henceforth "all further [technological] progress is by and large indifferent for land warfare. The age of evolution is in this regard essentially closed." This complacent conclusion shows in what the achievement of the innovator consists: he accomplishes what other people believe to be unthinkable and unfeasible.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52022</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The United States brags about its political system, but the President says one thing during the election, something else when ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47029]]></link><description><![CDATA[The United States brags about its political system, but the President says one thing during the election, something else when he takes office, something else at midterm and something else when he leaves.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47029</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some people are always critical of vague statements.
