If, however, they mean that we should expect results merely by repeating the actual phrases found in the New Testament, then they are mistaken. They are making, in fact, one of the basic mistakes in verbal communication, which is to confuse words with what they describe. The gospel is something God has done, not a series of phrases describing it. Saying this does not undermine the Christian's belief in the inspiration of the Bible, for the important thing about the Bible is what it talks about, rather than the way it does the talking. If we considered that there was the same degree of essential inspiration in the way it does the talking, then we would have to insist that every Christian learn Hebrew and Greek. The mere fact that we in the Western world read translations of the scriptures is a clear admission that times and cultures have changed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8305</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love is my religion - I could die for it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25885]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love is my religion - I could die for it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25885</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are fathers who do not love their children; there is no grandfather who does not adore his grandson. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64661]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are fathers who do not love their children; there is no grandfather who does not adore his grandson.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64661</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Psychoanalysis is the mental illness it purports to cure. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51992]]></link><description><![CDATA[Psychoanalysis is the mental illness it purports to cure.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51992</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Why can't they have gay people in the army?

But he could not read Latin, and so the Scriptures were a closed book to him. However, he hired two money-minded priests, who, in violation of strict regulations, translated the Bible for him into Provençal, the language of southern France. The content of the Word of God made such an impression upon this earnest man that he gave up his business, took upon himself a vow of poverty, and dedicated himself to the simple preaching of the contents of God's Word.  The Latin of the Church only mystified its hearers [but] Waldo's humble preaching edified the souls of men. His words were not spectacular but powerful, as he pleaded with them to repent. Much of his preaching and that of his followers consisted in reciting long passages of Scripture in the vernacular. Many of them could not afford an expensive handwritten copy of the Bible, and the ecclesiastical authorities could too easily rob them of such a book; but they could not erase the words which were treasured in the heart.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6708</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Guts are a combination of confidence, courage, conviction, strength ofcharacter, stick-to-itiveness, pugnaciousness, backbone, and intestinalfortitude.
