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[In the next two days he will be visited by his family including his grandchildren and daughter. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29830]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the next two days he will be visited by his family including his grandchildren and daughter.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29830</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no real teacher who in practice does not believe in the existence of the soul, or in a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25293]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no real teacher who in practice does not believe in the existence of the soul, or in a magic that acts on it through speech.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25293</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That's been our key all year.

The Christian's faith in Christ is trust in a Living Person, once crucified, dead, and buried, and now living forevermore. Call it, if you will, an assumption that ends as an assurance, or an experiment that ends as an experience, Christian faith is in fact a commitment that ends as a communion.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6342</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Be thou as chaste as ice, as pure as snow, thou shalt not escape calumny. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51260]]></link><description><![CDATA[Be thou as chaste as ice, as pure as snow, thou shalt not escape calumny.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51260</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Allen Ginsberg was a world authority on the writing of William Blake, and had an incredible knowledge of classic literature ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33064]]></link><description><![CDATA[Allen Ginsberg was a world authority on the writing of William Blake, and had an incredible knowledge of classic literature and world politics.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33064</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Idleness is emptiness;
