We must try to show them that that impossibility is an essential part of the doctrine. If you do not believe our Lord's words, why do you believe in His return at all? And if you do believe them, must you not put away from you, utterly and forever, any hope of dating that return?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8515</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of James the Apostle  Upon a little reflection one can see that no concepts which are restricted to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8163]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of James the Apostle  Upon a little reflection one can see that no concepts which are restricted to Christianity could possibly be found in a language spoken only by pagans. How could pagans have developed words for Christian ideas which have never occurred to them? This identical situation existed when the Holy Spirit inspired the New Testament.

If these are gifted with heroic qualities, to vanquish the oppressors of Israel, it is nevertheless not this heroism that forms their principal characteristic. That consists in judging. They restore... the authority of the law. For this reason, God raises up judges, not princes. The title sets forth both their work and the occasion of their appointment. Israel is free and powerful when its law is observed throughout the land.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6862</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Remember that the faith that moves mountains always carries a pick. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13651]]></link><description><![CDATA[Remember that the faith that moves mountains always carries a pick.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13651</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If God listened to the prayers of men, all men would quickly have perished: for they are forever praying for ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64263]]></link><description><![CDATA[If God listened to the prayers of men, all men would quickly have perished: for they are forever praying for evil against one another.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64263</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In a world where change is inevitable and continuous, the need to achieve that change without violence is essential for ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58395]]></link><description><![CDATA[In a world where change is inevitable and continuous, the need to achieve that change without violence is essential for survival.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58395</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When it counted the most, that's when we started losing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40798]]></link><description><![CDATA[When it counted the most, that's when we started losing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40798</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Taft's encouragement of McKenna's resignation illustrates how effective procedural pressure exerted by a chief justice can be.
