It's like riding a bicycle or swimming: You learn by doing.   .. Luis Palau  March 14, 2001   Most evangelicals believe that if a passage of the Bible seems unclear in its meaning, it should be interpreted in the light of Scripture "as a whole". But what does "Scripture as a whole" mean? In practice, if not theory, it means the working systematic theology of the interpreter, or of his own theological tradition. An evangelical... would not hold to that tradition unless he believed that it did represent the wholeness of the biblical witness. Nevertheless, if this state of affairs has been correctly described, he is now in a serious difficulty. For if the Bible must always accord with a theology that has already been accepted, how can the truth of a biblical passage ever confront him afresh with an unfavorable judgment?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6354</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Disgrace does not consist in the punishment, but in the crime. [It., Non nella pena,  Nel delitto e la ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10648]]></link><description><![CDATA[Disgrace does not consist in the punishment, but in the crime. [It., Non nella pena,  Nel delitto e la infamia.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10648</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56257]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56257</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whenever fortune wishes to joke, she lifts people from what is humble to the highest extremity of affairs. [Lat., Ex ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16506]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whenever fortune wishes to joke, she lifts people from what is humble to the highest extremity of affairs. [Lat., Ex humili magna ad fastigia rerum  Extollit, quoties voluit fortuna jocari.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16506</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is a cop-out to say 'it was one of those things' because the players are better than that.
