Colter's Hell

The pagan gods were and still are shells for demons that live in the world. God protects those who do not stray from Him from the demons, however, those who turn away are vulnerable to interaction with the evil spirits. Spirits have lived in our world since the beginning of the world. Spirits can be evil and can be of good. God and His angels talk and guide the faithful and righteous, and the evil spirits like Satan and his “minions” attempt pull us away from what is true and right. The only way…

If greed is truly the root of all evil then even the sweetest of people will surely burn in hell. In 1475, Geoffrey Chaucer wrote a series of poems called “The Canterbury Tales” that each came from a different view of life. Each poem comes from a different perspective and each person brings a new concept and vice to the reader’s attention. The reader will be able to understand the making and qualities of the Pardoner and his tale. In “The Pardoner’s Tale” by Geoffrey Chaucer the use of…

Canto 18 Dante and Virgil are outside the eighth Circle of Hell, known as Malebolge. The circle has a wall along the outside, and has a circular pit in the center. The ridges create ten separate pits. This is where the people receive their punishment for fraud. This is where Virgil and Dante see souls from one side to another. The demons with great whips cause pain to the souls when they come to the demon’s reach, which then force the souls to the other ridge. There is an Italian that Dante…

Canto XXVI begins with Dante sarcastically praising his native city Florence for having so many of its citizens populating Hell: with so many thieves, Florence has earned such a widespread fame not only on Earth but also in Hell! The poet Virgil, Dante’s guide through Hell and Purgatory, now leads him along the ridges to the Eighth Pouch, where they see thousands of little flames flickering in a deep, dark valley, and reminding Dante of fireflies on a hillside. Virgil informs Dante that each…

It is well known that Donald Trump has lived a life of decadence and self-pleasure. But the general public is largely unaware of his associations with organized crime. Much of his wealth was amassed on the addictions of the poor in his Atlantic City casinos. The four times his casinos filed for bankruptcy, he gained millions as his employees, contractors and investors suffered loss. I would encourage people to do some research into Trump’s past. The Antichrist is described as “wicked”, which…

punishment he or she shall receive in Hell. This idea provides many of Inferno’s moments of the imagery between good and evil, the symbolic power of each circle and what it represents, not only to Dante but the reader; as well as shedding a light on one of Dante’s major themes expressed throughout the book: the perfection of God’s justice. “The inscription over the gates of Hell in Canto III explicitly states that God was moved to create Hell by Justice (Canto III.7)”. Hell, therefore, only…

might relate the Holocaust to Hell on earth but there is another type of Hell were souls who are to be punished must go. Every soul must go somewhere, sadly there are some wicked people who deserve to be punished for cruel acts they commit when they are alive. Judaism do not seem to view the afterlife of there being a Hell but more like a place where souls can go after they pass. People who believe in Judaism do have their own type of Hell but it would not be seen as Hell since this can be seen…

Not everyday does one get the pleasure to spend the day with a person some people consider to be the devil. A man so hated by some that he’s depicted as Satan himself. Yet at the same time this man has a following so large it’s considered to be a threat to the Catholic Church in Rome. Who is this controversial man? None other than Martin Luther. The same Luther who had the audacity to nail 95 Theses to the door of our very own Wittenberg Church doors. This was a day with the devil, kind of. To…

I’ve always found it easier to watch a thriller than reading one. Maybe I should start reading? Reading a horrific tale is more personal than watching the movie, or so they say… Raven’s peak is a fast paced thriller by Lincoln Cole. It is book 1 in the World on Fire series. Join Abigail in her quest as a demon-hunter within the order of the Council of Chaldea. Her faith and determination will be tested in this sordid tale of redemption, revenge and the supernatural. The tale begins with Arthur…

he described Satan and hell in there own fairly different and similar ways. Dante’s Inferno levels of hell is separated into nine levels which are spheres, and in each level is a different punishment which progress to get worse and worse the farther you go down. He portrays Satan as being dumb, like when Satan is unable to talk from chewing on the sinners, he isn't showing much character or personality in the story. In Paradise Lost Satan is given a personality, and in hell there is eternal…
