Pigs in Heaven

Spirit prison denies the soul rest. Those in paradise must wait until the times of Christ’s second coming to earth to move to the next phase. In the next phase of judgment, the deceased will be sent to one of the three heavens or degrees of glory described by Joseph Smith. The highest heaven is the Celestial Kingdom; this is where those who have…

Seven Deadly Sins The Christians believed that God disapproved of seven sins things that make a person’s aura turn evil. The person who created the list of sins was a monk named Evagruis Ponticus in the 4th century. It was used by churches, and revised by Pope Gregory in 590. He emphasized the sins; condensed them to one word; and put them in order of importance. The list of the seven sins are: Pride, envy, gluttony, lust, anger, covetousness, and sloth. The Crucible uses the Salem Witch Trials…

There are nine circles of hell in total, all in which Dante sees the lurid truth of the consequences of sins. The punishments for dishonesty, lust, greed, and heresy are harsh in high expense. Although corruption is intrinsic to the multitude, sinning shouldn’t be contemplated as a prescriptive normality; therefore, if humankind continues subsisting with this idea, afflicting each other will fruit another normality. The intensity of each circle holds a motive. The motive is for Dante to see with…

Hell is an evil place recognized largely as the worst place a person can go for the worst of sinners. In the comedy, The Divine Comedy, by Dante there are nine circles of Hell. The depiction Dante gives to Hell is a colder place. This differs a lot from John Milton’s book, Paradise Lost, where Hell is depicted as a fiery inferno with darkness on all edges. Hell is a place of fiery death much like Milton’s depiction. This is because burning is more painful that freezing and the Bible depicts that…

My experience in hell felt ridiculously timeless, therefore, I knew this couldn’t have been a schizophrenic episode. I often wondered if perhaps I hadn’t passed through time for that long at all and if time remained nothing but a vague feeling. If that was so, that was the worst episode ever. Nevertheless, I’m doubtful. The burns, the slashes, the bites are hardly memorable, but I've always remembered the words. Various victims of hell existed other than myself, but everybody was engulfed with…

Being a sinner will destroy your conscience and character. People Who sin don’t care how it affects them or anyone else, because they have become desensitized to the fact that sinning is a serious matter. In The Scarlet Letter Reverend Dimmesdale and Roger Chillingworth have both fallen into sin and now they must deal with the consequences.…

exactly what it states to be: a life after, or a life after the known life, so to speak. Many people and early writers believed in an afterlife, all of which had their own perceptions. For instance, the Christians point of view on an afterlife would be heaven or hell, while someone with a different point of view would see an afterlife as somewhere they reunite with their loved ones. There are many different perceptions of an afterlife, but all find to have a purpose and an importance, especially…

The sins and their deserved Contrapassos When referring to The Portable Dante, written by Dante himself and edited by Mark Musa, contrapasso is one of the few rules to be explicit. The thought of having an eye for an eye, what sin you commit in life, you get the opposite down in the proper circle of hell and how it was thought of to be proper justice. The contrapassos of the final circle of hell, which is pride, and therefore host the worst sinners there are. The contrapassos simony and pride…

example of someone who is 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…

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…
