The most interesting thing about Edward’s sermon is that God is viewed as an evil ruler that has no mercy towards his people. Furthermore, in the speech, Edward’s contradicts himself…

Hell, as envisioned by Dante Aligheri in the 14th century, was classified into several circles, representing sins that fall into the themes of incontinence, violence, or fraud. Dante’s organization of The Inferno was meticulous and extremely detailed, to the point where some even labelled his Inferno as a “perfectly functioning bureaucracy” (V: Note 9-12) .

We all want to go to the place were pain and suffering are eradicated. However, according to Dante Alighieri’s Inferno, even the most well-known people of history somehow found a way to end up in one of the layers of hell. The Inferno is an…

Andrew Newberg, a neuroscientist at Thomas Jefferson University and Hospital, studied the brain scans of religious individuals like nuns and monks. He claims that the “tunnel” and “gate” of people who have had near death experience is easy to explain.

may end up in the gates of Hell. The porter specifically describes a “two faced con man” (2. 3. 90); this man is directly related to Macbeth who’s actions in killing Duncan were unjust and not appropriate for someone who swore his loyalty to him.

Seeing as she belonged to a branch of Christianity which accepts all the children God concedes them, she had a great deal of responsibility regarding her role as both a mother and a housewife. Her husband, Rusty who worked with NASA, did not…

It was on a Sunday evening. Curiosity got the best of me and all I could think about was checking out my new neighborhood. I had just moved in the previous day and spent the whole night unpacking and arranging the seats and other staff. I woke up late at around 5pm; I was very tired and had slept very late, then I went out for a walk. I took a long stroll slowly at the side walk of the main street for about one hour.

first instance the word church is used in Scripture. There, Peter gave the revelation of Jesus in verse 16, in response to the question found in verse 15. That revelation prompted Jesus’ declaration in verse 18, “… I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” The word “church” in the Greek is “ekklesia”, which conventionally can be interpreted, “called out ones.” For over 2000 years, Christ’s Church has been existed; yet, from its early formation to this present…
