ambassadors for Christ, it is our assignment to correct this very tragic error in their thinking. There is life after death, and there is death after death called the second death. Case and Powell, both, expound on the seriousness of Eschatology. Heaven and hell are literal places. They are real and a choice has to be made as to which place you prefer; the smoking section (hell) or the…

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.
