"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[Easter says you can put truth in a grave, but it won't stay there. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63198]]></link><description><![CDATA[Easter says you can put truth in a grave, but it won't stay there.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63198</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I see a gathering in the Dead Sea area--I have a feeling it's in Jordan.

The whole Bible proclaims the need for, and the achievement of, a salvation that will remake creation, and it is just such a salvation, at once supernatural and historical, that was won on Easter Day. If the Resurrection narratives are [merely] a subtle way of convincing us that God still loves us, or that there is a life beyond death, they must be reckoned among the oddest and most ill-conceived stories ever written.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6784</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Tyrant, step from the throne, and give place to thy master. [Fr., Tyran, descends du trone et fais place a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59962]]></link><description><![CDATA[Tyrant, step from the throne, and give place to thy master. [Fr., Tyran, descends du trone et fais place a ton maitre.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59962</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[will insure that you will never serve a dried-out, hard, tasteless pork chop again and your pork loin roasts will ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30734]]></link><description><![CDATA[will insure that you will never serve a dried-out, hard, tasteless pork chop again and your pork loin roasts will be juicy and tender.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30734</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The even mead, that erst brought sweetly forth The freckled cowslip, burnet, and green clover,  Wanting the scythe, all ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10542]]></link><description><![CDATA[The even mead, that erst brought sweetly forth The freckled cowslip, burnet, and green clover,  Wanting the scythe, all uncorrected, rank,   Conceives by idleness, and nothing teems    But hateful docks, rough thistles, kecksies, burrs,     Losing both beauty and utility.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10542</guid></item></channel></rss>
