Eternity

“I first surmised the Horses’ Heads, Were toward Eternity-“. The last 2 lines determine us a certain direction therefore we can definitely assume that Eternity is a place. But after all there is a tension since there are the horses, Eternity and they are still riding. In conclusion, “Because I could not stop for Death” is one of the most remarkable poems of Emily Dickinson. She could express…

The difference being that angels, although living in eternity, were not before for all else that is, which is only God. So angels are created spiritual beings and because of this they are limited, they have a beginning. This is contemplated by Saint Anselm when he says, “Therefore, since it is not the case…

1) Growing up in a Christian-centered part of the country I’ve been exposed to many of the traditions and the beliefs that go along with it. I’ve seen the good that can come out of it and I’ve seen the completely bigoted and ignorant bad side of it. But with all the different aspects of Christianity one thing that seems to be the most important is the thought of Afterlife; be it Heaven or Hell. In the Christian religion getting in to Heaven is the main goal everyone strives for. Heaven is in…

they don’t linger there for eternity. Rather, they are extinguished after the second coming, ceasing to exist at all. This comes as something of a comfort for those that don’t want to think about people languishing in such an existence; it almost seems more human that they simply don’t exist rather than spend eternity in this way. This belief of hell, however, directly contradicts what the Bible says. The Bible holds that heaven and hell are both everlasting and for eternity. This view is in…

for a person, but living for eternity doesn’t benefit the person so immortality is more bad then good. According to my understandings and examining the text written by Williams and considering the other essays that are about the same subject. I came to the conclusion that I agree with Williams. I agree that taking the elixir is somewhat pointless because: (1) Taking the elixir won’t stop death from happening. (2) Being dead isn’t bad for anybody. (3) Living for eternity is boring, and (4) you’ll…

bending of time and space allows past and future to connect, like one temporal möbius strip, where one may begin in the past, and follow the path of the curve, only to arrive at the other side–the future. Thus, time bends back on itself, and perhaps eternity…

Road to Eternity The post-apocalyptic novel, “The Road” by Cormac McCarthy stirs up a lot of dilemma within a reader's mind. The author focuses on a consistent theme of hope, faith, and the meaning of life in a world of darkness. Metaphorically the entire novel questions the existence of the one true God who created the whole entire Universe. The two protagonists are places into a hellish setting with not many survivors who turn into cannibals or act like animals. However, the father and son…

Growing up, we are often told that we can accomplish anything that we set our mind to. At the age of four, most of us attend school for the first time where we learn key things, such as, the importance of structure and a weekly schedule. From then on, we are compelled to attend school and get our high school diploma where we learn how to prepare ourselves for the “real world.” Some choose to continue on and go to college for the next few years. However, those who choose a different route usually…

proof for the existence of God he approaches it with the concept of motion. But looking deeper it really is about the issue of actuality and potentiality which Aristotle also used to analyze motion. This proof reminds us that things are in motion and move when potential motion or ‘possibility’ becomes actual motion. This is very similar to Aristotle’s explanation of motion defined as “actuality of a potentiality.” Next Aquinas tell us that only an actual motion can turn potential motion into…

French Theologian John Calvin served as a pastor during the Protestant Reformation. Growing up Roman Catholic, he had values and traditions instilled which were thought to be critical in one 's relationship with God. However, after his exposure to reformation he experienced a shift in ideals, theology, and belief. This time of his life simply brought into light a spectrum of Christianity which had yet to be acknowledged in a depth which came across offensive and seemingly harsh. Now referred to…
