It is because the word "inerrant" makes these methodological points about handling the Bible, ruling out in advance the use of mental procedures that can only lead to reduced and distorted versions of Christianity, that it is so valuable and, I think, so much valued by those who embrace it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6263</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The idea is to die young as late as possible. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11183]]></link><description><![CDATA[The idea is to die young as late as possible.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11183</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To be good is noble; but to show others how to be good is nobler and no trouble. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64622]]></link><description><![CDATA[To be good is noble; but to show others how to be good is nobler and no trouble.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64622</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Europeans need to show real flexibility on market access, ...
