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 world began without man, and it will complete itself without him. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27778]]></link><description><![CDATA[The world began without man, and it will complete itself without him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27778</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A simple rule, to be followed whether one is in the light or not, gives backbone to one's spiritual life, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6425]]></link><description><![CDATA[A simple rule, to be followed whether one is in the light or not, gives backbone to one's spiritual life, as nothing else can.  ... Evelyn Underhill November 30, 1996 Andrew the Apostle  With his continual doctrine [Bishop Hooper] adjoined due and discreet correction, not so much severe to any as to them which for abundance of riches and wealthy state thought they might do what they listed. And doubtless he spared no kind of people, but was indifferent to all men, as well rich as poor, to the great shame of no small number of men nowadays. Whereas many we see so addicted to the pleasing of great and rich men, that in the meantime they have no regard to the meaner sort of poor people, whom Christ hath bought as dearly as the other.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6425</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[here is an innocence in admiration; it is found in those to whom it has never yet occurred that they, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63633]]></link><description><![CDATA[here is an innocence in admiration; it is found in those to whom it has never yet occurred that they, too, might be admired some day.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63633</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Two phenomena, in my view, are particularly disturbing: One is the prevalence of the use of torture to extract confessions ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41096]]></link><description><![CDATA[Two phenomena, in my view, are particularly disturbing: One is the prevalence of the use of torture to extract confessions and information and the second one is the intimidation of those who make complaints against public officials.

It is the grateful, faithful, fruitful use of what we have, little or much. It is to take the cup of Providence, and call upon the name of the Lord. What the cup contains is its contents. To get all that is in the cup is the act and art of contentment. Not to drink because one has but half a cup, or because one does not like its flavor, or because somebody else has silver to one's own glass, is to lose the contents; and that is the penalty, if not the meaning, of discontent. No one is discontented who employs and enjoys to the utmost what he has. It is high philosophy to say, we can have just what we like if we like what we have; but this much at least can be done, and this is contentment: to have the most and best in life by making the most and best of what we have.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7524</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The worst tragedy that could have befallen me was my success.

The Scriptures indeed were at hand for the study of those who could avail themselves of them, but St. Iranaeus does not hesitate to speak of whole races who had been converted to Christianity, without being able to read them. To be unable to read or write was in those times no evidence of want of learning; the hermits of the deserts were, in one sense of the word, illiterate, yet the great St. Anthony, though he knew not letters, was a match in disputation for the learned philosophers who came to try him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6981</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think the division race will come down to the final week. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32878]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think the division race will come down to the final week.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32878</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[So I had all the names, three names, and that's good to have on a soap. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37976]]></link><description><![CDATA[So I had all the names, three names, and that's good to have on a soap.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37976</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Many waters cannot quench love, neither can floods drown it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25677]]></link><description><![CDATA[Many waters cannot quench love, neither can floods drown it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25677</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you don't like the weather in New England, just wait a few minutes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61487]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you don't like the weather in New England, just wait a few minutes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61487</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64291]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64291</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Discourse, the sweeter banquet of the mind. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10095]]></link><description><![CDATA[Discourse, the sweeter banquet of the mind.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10095</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Justice is a temporary thing that must at last come to an end; but the conscience is eternal and will ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23627]]></link><description><![CDATA[Justice is a temporary thing that must at last come to an end; but the conscience is eternal and will never die.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23627</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[At this point, the compute grid is well understood.
