speaker. The “Heavens” call out like a “Bell” and the speaker is the only one to hear it. The speaker is “but an Ear”, establishing a tone of incompleteness. Taken literally, the speaker is no longer complete and can do nothing but listen to the Heavens. The speaker then presents themselves as “some strange Race”. This in addition to “Silence” captures the isolation after death. If the “Heavens were a Bell” yet the speaker hears “Silence”, this implies that the speaker does not have a Heaven…

Modern Christianity pushes the belief that when you die you either go to heaven or hell. Bishop N. Tom Wright corrects this theory though several passages in the Bible. We see that there indeed is a different plan than just that we live, we die, and then we go to heaven. Bishop Wright shows us what he calls “Life after life after death.” After watching Wright’s video, I do disagree with one thing. I feel by his definition of life after death. It should be Life after death after life. What does…

With all the various forms and flavors of false doctrine that exist in our current world, it is important to maintain familiarity with these different erroneous teachings. One teaching that has plagued the Lord’s church as of late is that of “Realized Eschatology”.

Dante’s purpose of his journey was to get through heaven so he could get to heaven, which means he has to enter the very worst part of hell. Virgil says to Dante, “Hope not ever to see Heaven. I have come to lead you to the other shore; into eternal darkness; into fire and into ice.” The last Circle in hell represents the worst of crimes, betrayal. An American writer and…

bible says in Ecclesiastes 12:7, NIV (as quoted by Bibleinfo.com). Many believe that when a person dies, they will go directly to Heaven, or to Hell, but some arguments state the Bible says that you will not go to Heaven or to Hell until Judgement Day. On Judgement Day God will come down to collect his creations and judge them, telling them where to go; either to Heaven or to Hell. This judgement also occurs in Egyptian Mythology but in a dissimilar…

into doing the right thing. Hell serves as a moral propaedeutic for those who believe in it, and are afraid to wrong themselves as well as God. Those that believe in reincarnation would not fear Hell in the same way as those who believe in God and Heaven and Hell as the afterlife, but they would fear living a life of bad deeds, pain and sin over and over again because it would be like living in their own personal hell. Atheists would not fear Hell, any type of hell, because they don’t believe in…

Throughout Dante 's Inferno, the reader views one man 's opinions of sin and depictions of its punishment.
