If Abraham's migration can no longer be explained as part of a larger Amorite migratory stream from east to west, it should be noted that what has fallen by the wayside is a scholarly hypothesis, not the Biblical text. Genesis itself presents the movement from Haran to Canaan as an individual, unique act undertaken in response to a divine call -- an event, not an incident -- that inaugurates a new and decisive stage in God's plan of history. The factuality or otherwise of this Biblical evaluation lies beyond the scope of scholarly research.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6735</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Equality, in a social sense, may be divided into that of condition, and that of rights.

Every man lives by his own faith, and God does not distinguish between classes. Since, in cases of necessity, you have the right to act as a priest, then you must also accept priestly discipline. It is God's will that all of us should be in the right spiritual state, at any time or place, to administer His sacraments.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6226</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It will be a challenge; he's very versatile.

It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. {5} It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. {6} Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. {7} It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. {8} Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. {9} For we know in part and we prophesy in part, {10} but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. {11} When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. {12} Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. {13} And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2216</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I can't tell you if genius is hereditary, because heaven has granted me no offspring. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22905]]></link><description><![CDATA[I can't tell you if genius is hereditary, because heaven has granted me no offspring.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22905</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Decide what you want, decide what you are willing to exchange for it.
