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[The abstract metaphysical monotheism, the constant emphasis laid on God's unity and infinite and incomprehensible essence, could not give light ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7160]]></link><description><![CDATA[The abstract metaphysical monotheism, the constant emphasis laid on God's unity and infinite and incomprehensible essence, could not give light to the mind or peace to the heart...

This difference between the idea of an absolute and infinite God and the God of Scripture is, after all, that which separates the true believer and Christian from the natural man.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7160</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I will feed fat the ancient grudge I bear him.
