And if the New Testament were a collection of secular writings, their authenticity would generally be regarded as beyond all doubt. It is a curious fact that historians have often been much readier to trust the New Testament than have many theologians.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6366</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A Picture of many colors proclaims images of many Thoughts. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8956]]></link><description><![CDATA[A Picture of many colors proclaims images of many Thoughts.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8956</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery?

Life in God is not an escape from this, but a way to gain full insight concerning it. It is not our depravity which forces a fictitious religious explanation upon us, but the experience of religious reality which forces the "Night Side" out into the light. It is when we stand in the righteous all-seeing light of love that we can dare to look at, admit, and consciously suffer under this something in us which wills disaster, misfortune, defeat to everything outside the sphere of our narrowest self interest.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7804</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[[In so many ways, the Mets had this game at their fingertips.
