"Flesh" means sin and corruption, and is opposed to the Spirit; but embodiment, outward manifestation, concrete form, is not opposed to the Spirit. "Carnal" means sinful and hostile to God; the evil spirits, who we suppose possess no bodies, are carnal, but the Son of God became man, the Word was made flesh, He took upon Him a human body as well as a reasonable soul. God's ways and thoughts are not ours. While the abstract and ethereal imaginations of human reason create a god, who is not spirit, and whom they do not worship in spirit and truth, the God of the Bible is God manifest in the flesh -- Emmanuel... Did not Jesus, after His resurrection, eat before His disciples, who gave Him a piece of a broiled fish and honey? Is not the earth to be the scene of God's triumph and manifestation? Whatever is revealed in spiritual, whatever man imagines is carnal; the end of the ways of God is embodiment.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7091</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In good yeares corne is hay, in ill yeares straw is corne. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49540]]></link><description><![CDATA[In good yeares corne is hay, in ill yeares straw is corne.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49540</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wherever anything lives, there is, open somewhere, a register in which time is being inscribed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59302]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wherever anything lives, there is, open somewhere, a register in which time is being inscribed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59302</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We feel we would not have a prayer's chance in hell in the Hernando County Jail. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40963]]></link><description><![CDATA[We feel we would not have a prayer's chance in hell in the Hernando County Jail.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40963</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If we do not change our direction, we are likely to end up where we areheaded. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21377]]></link><description><![CDATA[If we do not change our direction, we are likely to end up where we areheaded.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21377</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I believe, with the addition of those additional Iraqi forces, with the gelling of the Iraqi chain of command, with ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38362]]></link><description><![CDATA[I believe, with the addition of those additional Iraqi forces, with the gelling of the Iraqi chain of command, with good leadership by Prime Minister Allawi and his ministers, that the elections will be able to be held,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38362</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you wish others to believe in you, you must first convince them that you believe in them ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4056]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you wish others to believe in you, you must first convince them that you believe in them]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4056</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Abortion is advocated only by persons who have themselves been born. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/115]]></link><description><![CDATA[Abortion is advocated only by persons who have themselves been born.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/115</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Evil is whatever distracts. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63534]]></link><description><![CDATA[Evil is whatever distracts.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63534</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And taught by thee the Church prolongs Her hymns of high thanksgiving still. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58996]]></link><description><![CDATA[And taught by thee the Church prolongs Her hymns of high thanksgiving still.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58996</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You'd ask for specific things and he'd basically try to fool you. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42546]]></link><description><![CDATA[You'd ask for specific things and he'd basically try to fool you.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42546</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The lintel low enough to keep out pomp and pride; The threshold high enough to turn deceit aside;  The ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19869]]></link><description><![CDATA[The lintel low enough to keep out pomp and pride; The threshold high enough to turn deceit aside;  The doorband strong enough from robbers to defend;   This door will open at a touch to welcome every friend.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19869</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every citizen is king under a citizen king. [Fr., Tout citoyen est roi sous un roi citoyen.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54465]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every citizen is king under a citizen king. [Fr., Tout citoyen est roi sous un roi citoyen.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54465</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every thing new is fine. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49227]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every thing new is fine.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49227</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I didn't say that I didn't say it.
