He only seemed to inhabit a material body, and from the Greek word dokein ["to seem"], people who held this theory were known as Docetists. But if Christ's incarnation was unreal, His death and resurrection were also unreal; and the whole gospel message was thus evacuated of its truth and power: one unhappy legacy of this short-lived phase of Christian heresy remains to bedevil Christian witness to Muslims up to the present day. For when the Koran says of Jesus that "they did not kill Him, nor did they crucify Him, but they thought they did", we may infer that Muhammad was indebted for this idea to a Christian source tainted with Docetism.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6715</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't smother each other.

There are too many who are devout, but not students. They will not accept the discipline of study and of learning, and they even look with suspicion upon the further knowledge which study brings to men. There are equally too many who are students, but not devout. They are interested too much in intellectual knowledge, and too little in the life of prayer and in the life of service of their fellow men. A man would do well to aim at being not only a student, and not only devout, but at being a devout student.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7874</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are the movies and the movies are us ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33113]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are the movies and the movies are us]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33113</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Out spoke the victor then, As he hail'd them o'er the wave,  Ye are brothers! ye are men!  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60574]]></link><description><![CDATA[Out spoke the victor then, As he hail'd them o'er the wave,  Ye are brothers! ye are men!   And we conquer but to save;    So peace instead of death let us bring;     But yield, proud foe, let us bring;      With the crews, at England's feet,       And make submission meet        To our King.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60574</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everything in life is somewhere else, and you get there in a car. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59582]]></link><description><![CDATA[Everything in life is somewhere else, and you get there in a car.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59582</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ask not what your country can do for you: Ask what you can do for your country. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45851]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ask not what your country can do for you: Ask what you can do for your country.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45851</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An epigram is but a feeble thing - With straw in tail, stuck there by way of sting ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14107]]></link><description><![CDATA[An epigram is but a feeble thing - With straw in tail, stuck there by way of sting]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14107</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The system of heroism depends on women to be weak so men can be strong. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63928]]></link><description><![CDATA[The system of heroism depends on women to be weak so men can be strong.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63928</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Defense.
