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[Laws are like cobwebs, which may catch small flies but which let wasps and hornets break through. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24319]]></link><description><![CDATA[Laws are like cobwebs, which may catch small flies but which let wasps and hornets break through.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24319</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Where evil habits are once settled, they are more easily broken than mended. [Lat., Frangas enim, citius quam corrigas quae ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18531]]></link><description><![CDATA[Where evil habits are once settled, they are more easily broken than mended. [Lat., Frangas enim, citius quam corrigas quae in pravum induerunt.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18531</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My toughest fight was with my first wife. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57712]]></link><description><![CDATA[My toughest fight was with my first wife.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57712</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nature does not give to those who will not spend... ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53292]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nature does not give to those who will not spend...]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53292</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I've learned to shy away from speculation and just go out on the field and do what I can do. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31571]]></link><description><![CDATA[I've learned to shy away from speculation and just go out on the field and do what I can do.
