But unfortunately this has not proved true, though we can consider it fortunate indeed that, as this inability to unify proves, the letter of the Bible cannot really replace the living Christ as the center of our faith. The Bible is the expression of the life and work of God, and since life is greater than its expression, it cannot be expressed completely in any logical or theological form. Therefore, the Bible itself cannot escape being understood in many different ways. Thus we see how in the wisdom of God it is impossible in practice to make the Scriptures the end or final authority to those who live in fellowship with the Spirit.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7955</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reality is an illusion that occurs due to lack of alcohol ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53040]]></link><description><![CDATA[Reality is an illusion that occurs due to lack of alcohol]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53040</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The outward freedom that we shall attain will only be in exact proportion to the inward freedom to which we ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55074]]></link><description><![CDATA[The outward freedom that we shall attain will only be in exact proportion to the inward freedom to which we may have grown at a given moment.
