He allowed himself (God allowed him) to be accounted sin by the Law. He refused to do what orthodox Jews of his day thought God had commanded them to do, (i.e.) seek to gain credit with God by keeping the Law. He lived by faith, not Law, and therefore repudiated the Law and the path of self-justification.... He stripped himself even of that claim to moral goodness which would have distinguished him from sinners. Short of becoming a sinner (and Paul shows that this idea is repudiated), how could God come closer to us sinners?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7211</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are times when fear is good.

Unfortunately, the popular effect of this scientific advance has been a belief, seemingly shared by many scientists, that the range of our ignorance is steadily diminishing and that we can therefore aim at more comprehensive and deliberate control of all human activities. It is for this reason that those intoxicated by the advance of knowledge so often become the enemies of freedom.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47397</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have opinions of my own - strong opinions - but I don't always agree with them ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44992]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have opinions of my own - strong opinions - but I don't always agree with them]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44992</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It looks like things are going to get rough, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35123]]></link><description><![CDATA[It looks like things are going to get rough,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35123</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is always in season for old men to learn. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64408]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is always in season for old men to learn.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64408</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is a puzzling thing.
