Pigs in Heaven

story that can be related to “The Resurrection of Jesus Christ”. The Resurrection of Jesus is Christian belief that after he died he rose again from the dead to wash our sins away. Most of the time, we question ourselves, If I die today, will I got to Heaven or Hell? That answer remains unknown because we do not necessarily know. People does not understand that we are on this earth for a main reason. That reason is to live up to God Ten Commandments. In the bible, it was mentioned in Romans…

When interviewed about the detonation of the first atomic bomb, Robert Oppenheimer, stated that witnessing the event brought to mind a quote from a Hindu scripture: “Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds”. Numerous stories throughout history have been centered around the idea of internal human darkness, including the 2004 film Hellboy, directed by Guillermo del Toro with cinematographer Guillermo Navarro and supervising art director Simon Lamont. The film follows its namesake, a demon…

back and forth between what existed before this creation. The very first verse states “God created the heavens and the earth” then the story moves to state “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness”. This was an interesting comparison because it seems God has created the heavens and earth, but then creates mankind in “our” image. Who existed with God before the earth was created. Was heaven created, and then earth created in the image of God and the angels? These two verses encourage…

As the first part of the epic poem Divine Comedy, the Inferno was written in the beginning of the fourteenth century by Dante Alighieri. Inferno describes the journey of its author through nine circles of Hell. For the whole duration of his journey, Dante is led by a poet Virgil, the representation of Human Reason who is familiar with many of the sinners in the underworld. Each circle in the epic poem illustrates a different type of sin with contrasting consequences, fluctuating according to the…

Dante paints a vivid picture of hell, depicting it as nine circles spiraling down into the center of the Earth. We journey into the inferno alongside Dante, who represents sin, and our guide, Virgil, who represents human reasoning. As we travel deeper into the inferno, the punishments become more severe as the sin becomes more grievous. In the beginning, Dante pities the plight of the sinner, much to Virgil’s dismay, however, as we continue on our journey, Dante slowly recognizes that the…

There are countless things we can learn from the Bible. Some of these can be placed in the same category or they have the same theme they are trying to get across. A very important message we see repeatedly throughout the bible is that we were saved by Jesus Christ and his sacrificial death is the reason we have a chance at salvation today. Another theme that is often mentioned in the bible is that the Kingdom of God is near. This means we need to repent for our sins and we need to prepare…

for Allah to release them to Heaven or Hell. When Allah returns to release all the souls they will face evaluation on their choices throughout life. “The Muslim ideas of Heaven and Hell are purely metaphorical.” The idea of Heaven and Hell are merely just figurative not a physical location one can travel. The determination of the soul’s final destination is dependent on the deeds done on earth. Those that do constant good deeds will be repaid with Paradise (heaven). On the other hand, those…

A foundational set of assumptions to which one commits that serves as a framework for understanding and interpreting reality and deeply shapes one’s behavior. A belief is trust, faith, acceptance, and confidence in something or someone. It could be someone you hold dear to you or something you might do in belief that you’ll get a certain result. When you combine a worldview and belief pertaining to Jesus Christ, you get the Christian worldview. In order to have a proper understanding of the…

follow God because they are programmed to, but because they believe it is the right thing to do. However, God seems upset at some of mankind’s choices when he says …[M]an disobeying, Disloyal, breaks his fealty, and sins Against the high supremacy of Heaven, Affecting God-head, and, so losing all, To expiate his treason hath naught left, But to destruction sacred and devote, He, with his whole…

the balance between heaven and hell. Representing the indecisiveness they expressed in life represented in the afterlife. This irony is not lost on J. A. Scartazzini and Thekla Bernays, who write in their article On the Congruence of Sins and Punishments in Dante 's Inferno: the inner indecision is visibly represented by the suspense between heaven and hell, by the exclusion from both places. But they are placed in the entrance to hell; that is, infinitely nearer hell than heaven. Their state…
