This is, of course, why many otherwise honest intellectual people will construct a neat by-pass around the claim of Jesus to be God. Being people of insight and imagination, they know perfectly well that once to accept such a claim as fact would mean a readjustment of their own purposes and values and affections which they may have no wish to make. To call Jesus the greatest Figure in History or the finest Moral Teacher the world has ever seen commits no one to anything. But once to allow the startled mind to accept as fact that this man is really focused-God may commit anyone to anything! There is every excuse for blundering in the dark, but in the light there is no cover from reality. It is because we strongly sense this, and not merely because we feel that the evidence is ancient and scanty, that we shrink from committing ourselves to such a far-reaching belief as that Jesus Christ was really God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7378</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A nation can assume that the addition of the words "under God" to its pledge of allegiance gives evidence that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43724]]></link><description><![CDATA[A nation can assume that the addition of the words "under God" to its pledge of allegiance gives evidence that its citizens actually believe in God whereas all it really proves is that they believe in "believing" in God]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43724</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Education is only a ladder to gather fruit from the tree of knowledge, not the fruit itself ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13372]]></link><description><![CDATA[Education is only a ladder to gather fruit from the tree of knowledge, not the fruit itself]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13372</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't just learn the tricks of the trade.

The prophets, for all their passionate sincerity, for all their courageous simplifyings of the Gospel, will meet many deaf adders who stop their ears. We must reckon with this certain fact, and refuse to be daunted by it. But also there comes a point where accommodation can go no further. It is the Gospel we have to present, however we do it. We cannot hope to do it unless we walk humbly with the modern man, as well as with God, unless we are much more eager to learn from him and about him, than to instruct him. God help us, it is all very difficult. But was there ever a task better worth trying to do, or one in which, whether we fail or succeed, we more surely find our freedom?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6188</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA['Tis an old saying, the Devil lurks behind the cross.
