It is almost as offensive to modern man, brought up in the atmosphere of relativism, in which tolerance is regarded almost as the highest of the virtues.

Jesus' life, his method, and his message do not make sense, unless they are interpreted in the light of his own conviction that he was in fact the final and decisive word of God to men... For the human sickness there is one specific remedy, and this is it. There is no other.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7226</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We should all be concerned about the future because we will have to live the rest of our lives there. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62746]]></link><description><![CDATA[We should all be concerned about the future because we will have to live the rest of our lives there.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62746</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool. -As You Like ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55688]]></link><description><![CDATA[The fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool. -As You Like It.
