S. Lewis when he says [of the doctrine of the Final Judgment], "There is no doctrine which I would more willingly remove from Christianity than this, if it lay in my power". But we cannot do so, for two reasons: first, because it enjoys the full support of Christ's own teaching; and second, because it makes a good deal of sense. If the gospel is extended to us for our acceptance, it must be possible also to reject and refuse it. The alternative would be for God to compel an affirmative response.   It would be nice to be able to say that all will be saved, but the question arises, Does everyone want to be saved? What would love for God be like if it were coerced? There is a hell because God respects our freedom and takes our decisions seriously -- more seriously, perhaps, than we would sometimes wish. God wants to see hell completely empty; but if it is not, He cannot be blamed. The door is locked only on the inside. It is not Christians but the unrepentant who "want" it [to be locked].]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6839</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My tragic view of life... leads me to have little patience with the chronic complaining I hear in modern society ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9240]]></link><description><![CDATA[My tragic view of life... leads me to have little patience with the chronic complaining I hear in modern society from people who have so much yet act as if life and society have conspired to oppress them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9240</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The voice of conscience is so delicate that it is easy to stifle it; but it is also so clear ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60930]]></link><description><![CDATA[The voice of conscience is so delicate that it is easy to stifle it; but it is also so clear that it is impossible to mistake it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60930</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Manufacturing and commercial monopolies owe their origin not to a tendency imminent in a capitalist economy but to governmental interventionist ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26364]]></link><description><![CDATA[Manufacturing and commercial monopolies owe their origin not to a tendency imminent in a capitalist economy but to governmental interventionist policy directed against free trade and laissez faire.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26364</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I kissed her hard and held her tight and tried to open her lips; they were closed tight. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23871]]></link><description><![CDATA[I kissed her hard and held her tight and tried to open her lips; they were closed tight.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23871</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fifty-acre parcels are generally not that available in Silicon Valley.
