It was because popes could and did err and because councils could and did err that Luther came to realize the supremacy of Scripture. Luther did not despise church authority, nor did he repudiate church councils as having no value. His praise of the Council of Nicaea is noteworthy. Luther and the Reformers did not mean by "Sola Scriptura" that the Bible is the only authority in the church; rather, they meant that the Bible is the only infallible authority in the church.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6343</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are ready for negotiation, but they should talk to us directly and not through the media. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35713]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are ready for negotiation, but they should talk to us directly and not through the media.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35713</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The most successful tempters and thus the most dangerous are the deluded deluders. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58926]]></link><description><![CDATA[The most successful tempters and thus the most dangerous are the deluded deluders.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58926</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Knowledge by suffering entereth, And life is perfected by death. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11387]]></link><description><![CDATA[Knowledge by suffering entereth, And life is perfected by death.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11387</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice.

That God should be in a state of constant fury with the wicked seemed to them only right and proper, but that God should be kind towards those who were defying or disobeying His laws seemed to them a monstrous injustice. Yet I was but quoting the Son of God Himself, and I only comment here that the terrifying risks that God takes are part of His Nature.
