In these days, when men are so gladly hearing afresh that "in Him there is no darkness at all"; that God, therefore could not have created any man if He knew that he must live in torture to all eternity; and that His hatred to evil cannot be expressed by injustice, itself the one essence of evil, -- for certainly it would be nothing less than injustice to punish infinitely what was finitely committed, no sinner being capable of understanding the abstract enormity of what he does, -- in these days has a arisen another falsehood, less, yet very perilous: thousands of half-thinkers imagine that, since it is declared with such authority that hell is not everlasting, there is then no hell at all. To such folly, I, for one, have never given enticement or shelter. I see no hope for many, no way for the divine love to reach them, save through a very ghastly hell. Men have got to repent; there is no other escape for them, and no escape from that.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8106</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who begs timidly courts a refusal. [Lat., Qui timide rogat,  Docet negare.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3931]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who begs timidly courts a refusal. [Lat., Qui timide rogat,  Docet negare.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3931</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Juliana of Norwich, Mystic, Teacher, c.1417 Continuing a series on the person of Jesus:  And what might ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6215]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Juliana of Norwich, Mystic, Teacher, c.1417 Continuing a series on the person of Jesus:  And what might this noble Lord do of more worship and joy to me than to show me (that am so simple) this marvelous homeliness [i.e., naturalness and simplicity]?
