Just Like Heaven

Christian worldview and how it relates to God and Jesus, humanity, and the dealings of this world. God In the Christian worldview, God is at the center of this perspective. He is all-knowing, all-present, and all-powerful (Diffey, 2014). God created the heavens and the earth (Genesis 1:1) and everything that lives, breathes, and roams this world. The world was created through God and his wisdom and he was pleased with all that he had created. It says in Romans 1:20, “For his invisible…

is to persuade all sinners to repent for their sins and ask God for forgiveness. Throughout the sermon he expresses in much detail what Hell and suffering looks and feels like and the ways to avoid hell and have eternal happiness in Heaven. Through imagery, on the eleventh line of the sermon he describes what hell looks like by saying, “The wrath of God burns against them; the pit is prepared and fire made ready for them; and the furnace hot and ready to admit them.” The use of these words…

neither good nor bad. Similarly, the sinners of Circle 1, Limbo, have also not committed an actual sin. People placed in Limbo did no harm in life but also did not believe in God. It is said in the bible in order to reach heaven you have to believe in the Lord. That is why someone like Mahatma Gandhi and Confucius belong in…

Another thing, it constantly smells like rotten or burnt flesh wherever you go. A lot of people seem to mistake Hell for a fiery place, where everything is red and black, where demons run around, maiming, torturing, and the like. Well, that's mostly wrong. Don't get me wrong it's hotter than the sun down here, but most of the fire isn't just plain. It's usually a vivid blue, but can turn into black or hot white. And not all the demons torture souls...that's just the more sadistic ones.…

begins on ground level and then he continues with his direction descending, going completely through the earth and hell. He winds up at the base of the heap of Purgatory on the opposite side. On the highest point of Purgatory there is the terrestrial heaven (the garden of Eden), and after that he works his way through the divine circles. It is the plot of the Divine Comedy and the account of Dante's adventure towards reclamation. The Inferno is for the most part thought to be the best and most…

describes the very center of Hell as an icy, frozen place. This is a direct contrast to what people normally believe Hell to be like, as expressed in John Milton’s Paradise Lost, in which it is rather described as a place full of fire, a literal furnace. Our minds are immediately drawn to a fiery Hell, as that is what is traditionally pictured in modern-day pop culture and the like. However, I believe Dante was right in his description, that ice is a metaphor better suited to Hell than fire. …

according to me, murder is murder. Many critics have taken Virgil’s ghost to represent human reason which pilots and guards us. The theme that is frequently seen in Inferno is the weakness of human nature. If one thinks about it, Dante’s Inferno, seems like to be an extremely vague allegory. A really extended metaphor that describes how a person can navigate through the moral challenges of life. Dante, in Inferno, seems to represent all the weaknesses of a human while Virgil seems to act as…

in the world of the living. This becomes Hamlet’s mission throughout the course of the play and will lead to his ultimate destruction by hurting the people he loves and cares about. On the other hand the theme of madness is also present in Hamlet. Like mentioned earlier, the scene between the ghost and Hamlet also creates the origin of Hamlet’s madness which only worsens as the play goes on. In the beginning Hamlet’s madness is merely a means to an end in order to get close to his uncle and…

days of creation and it is told in ways that it seems like God has a plan for what he is doing, that every move made is deliberate. This version of creation makes Christians feel like God has a plan for us and that he knows what he is doing. The fact that this story makes Christians feel more secure about God makes this story the more predominant one in the Christian faith. The story of creation…

Everyman: How it plays a part in religion People today have many purposes in life, like having a lot of money, having the best career, buying houses, being on top of the latest trend, buying new cars, and being as successful in life as they can. People believe that these things are what they strive for and make them their purpose in life. Unfortunately, people forgot that our purpose in life is not physical and emotional satisfaction our purpose is not only to better ourselves but to…
