The nonbelieving brave men he met in the anti-Nazi underground, the stark realities of prison life, and his disappointment in the professional churchmen of Germany, all may have influenced Bonhoeffer to see real Christianity as "non-religious" and "worldly"...

But since we are not favored with daily oracles from heaven, and since it is only in the Scriptures that the Lord hath been pleased to preserve His truth in perpetual remembrance, it obtains the same complete credit and authority with believers, when they are satisfied of its divine origin, as if they heard the very words pronounced by God Himself... Let it be considered, then, as an undeniable truth, that they who have been inwardly taught by the Spirit feel an entire acquiescence in the Scripture, and that it is self-authenticated, carrying with it its own evidence, and ought not to be made the subject of demonstration and arguments from reason; but it obtains the credit which it deserves with us by the testimony of the Spirit.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7525</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have written too much history to have faith in it; and if anyone thinks I'm wrong, I am inclined ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19341]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have written too much history to have faith in it; and if anyone thinks I'm wrong, I am inclined to agree with him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19341</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Ignatius of Loyola, Founder of the Society of Jesus, 1556  As the devil showed great skill in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8493]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Ignatius of Loyola, Founder of the Society of Jesus, 1556  As the devil showed great skill in tempting men to perdition., equal skill ought to be shown in saving them.

But unfortunately this has not proved true, though we can consider it fortunate indeed that, as this inability to unify proves, the letter of the Bible cannot really replace the living Christ as the center of our faith. The Bible is the expression of the life and work of God, and since life is greater than its expression, it cannot be expressed completely in any logical or theological form. Therefore, the Bible itself cannot escape being understood in many different ways. Thus we see how in the wisdom of God it is impossible in practice to make the Scriptures the end or final authority to those who live in fellowship with the Spirit.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7955</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He speaketh to me the words of men.

Each part of Scripture, both open and dark, teaches meekness and charity; and therefore he that keeps meekness and charity has the true understanding and perfection of all Scripture. Therefore, no simple man of wit should be afraid to study in the text of Scripture. And no cleric should be proud of the true understanding of Scripture, because understanding of Scripture without charity that keeps God's commandments, makes a man deeper damned... and pride and covetousness of clerics is the cause of [the Church's] blindness and heresy, and deprives them of the true understanding of Scripture.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6684</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Concentrated attention is the collection of units of power on a chosen point of intention. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3432]]></link><description><![CDATA[Concentrated attention is the collection of units of power on a chosen point of intention.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3432</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Who wooed in haste, and means to wed at leisure. -The Taming of the Shrew.
