How would the man interpret it? Would it not mean to him, "You may go on hating. I do not mind it. You have had great provocation, and are justified in your hate?" No doubt God takes what wrong there is, and what provocation there is, into the account; but the more provocation, the more excuse that can be urged for the hate, the more reason, if possible, that the hater should be delivered from the hell of his hate, that God's child should be made the loving child that He meant him to be. The man would think, not that God loved the sinner, but that He forgave the sin, which God never does. Every sin meets its due fate -- inexorable expulsion from the paradise of God's Humanity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8162</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You have to do your own growing no matter how tall your grandfather was. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18371]]></link><description><![CDATA[You have to do your own growing no matter how tall your grandfather was.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18371</guid></item></channel></rss>
