I was just looking through some Latin Quotes, Latin Phrases, Latin Mottos and Latin Quotations at the site through the link, looking for the correct spelling of the tongue-in-cheek title of this post (”Whatever is said in Latin sounds profound”), when I came across one that particularly struck me: “Abyssus abyssum invocat.”

Hell calls hell. (Meaning colloquially, according to the aforelinked site, “one misstep leads to another.”

And it hit me. If the Christian church still thought in terms like this, calling sin what it is and not pulling any punches, talking in these kinds of terms about things that actually are that serious, seems like we’d have a lot fewer lukewarm Christians.
