First, that He was a Sabbath-breaker. Secondly, that He was "a gluttonous man and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners" -- or (to draw aside the veil of Elizabethan English that makes it sound so much more respectable) that He ate too heartily, drank too freely, and kept very disreputable company, including grafters of the lowest type and ladies who were no better than they should be. For nineteen and a half centuries, the Christian Churches have laboured, not without success, to remove this unfortunate impression made by their Lord and Master. They have hustled the Magdalens from the Communion-table, founded Total Abstinence Societies in the name of Him who made the water wine, and added improvements of their own, such as various bans and anathemas upon dancing and theatre-going. They have transferred the Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday, and, feeling that the original commandment "Thou shalt not work" was rather half-hearted, have added to it the new commandment, "Thou shalt not play.".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7289</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing is there to come, and nothing past, But an eternal Now does always last. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14197]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing is there to come, and nothing past, But an eternal Now does always last.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14197</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fiction is the truth inside the lie. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15600]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fiction is the truth inside the lie.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15600</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[With me being a big guy and a physical presence out there, that's what I need to do ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢Â‚Â¬Ã¢Â€Âœ lay ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29238]]></link><description><![CDATA[With me being a big guy and a physical presence out there, that's what I need to do ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢Â‚Â¬Ã¢Â€Âœ lay the body, have some big hits, play strong defense and, when you need to fight and the opportunity arises, go at it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29238</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People have not been horrified by war to a sufficient extent ...

Sing, creatures, sing; the dust that lives by lure and lust Is kindled by the thrust of life undying; This hope our Master bare has made all fortunes fair, And man can on and dare, his death defying. After the winter snows a wind of healing blows, And thorns put forth a rose, and lilies cheer us; Life's everlasting spring has robbed death of his sting, Henceforth a cry can bring our Master near us.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6545</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our transition game went well.

But depend upon it, they do not by adding these words, or any words, bring it about that their prayers should be in the name of Christ. To pray in the name of Christ means to pray in such a way as represents Christ. The representative always must speak in the spirit and meaning of those for whom he speaks. If Christ is our representative, that must be because He speaks our wishes, or what we ought to make our wishes; and if we are to pray in the name of Christ, that means that we are, however far off, expressing His wishes and intentions.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8373</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He is rich that is satisfied. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2109]]></link><description><![CDATA[He is rich that is satisfied.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2109</guid></item></channel></rss>
