The White Devil

thing I found odd is the fact the devil wears glasses. They were rectangular frames large on his face. They only magnified his amazing eyes. " I don 't want it," I stared into his eyes. They were gorgeous. He staggered back as if I had punched him in the stomach. He looked as if he couldn’t catch his breath. At first he couldn’t form any words. "Why...but it is your soul. How could someone not want their soul back," he looked like he was going to cry. Does the devil cry? I almost felt bad for…

The Archangel Finds His Champion Archangel Michael stared down from the golden glowing clouds of Heaven, searching the earth for The One. Lucifer had already found his moral warrior, the black king stealing the first move in their little game of sacrificial lambs and slaughter. Now it was Michael’s turn to select a pawn, to decide which little piece of the board he wanted to invade. There was a man, big and quick on his feet, an ideal fighter – yet not such a smart one. His left guard was…

stop being such a straight lace, and have a little fun. I could not imagine god as a fun god, one who laughs and encourages laughter (imagine that, when he is the one that created laughter). I just pictured him on a great, massive, sterile looking white throne with his fingers pointing towards me saying “thou shalt not.” As i became…

The Devil in the White City is written by Erik Larson, an author that takes historical events but instead of just explaining the events, he leaves his readers at the edge of their seats, wanting more, and explains gaps that are left in history regarding the events of this book. This book is set during the World's Columbian Exposition or better known as the World’s Fair of 1893. The book is based on two men that are on the opposite side of the spectrum in society: Daniel Burnham, the architect of…

I have been reading the book called “In the Garden of Beasts” for a while now and I have finally reached the end. This book, like many other Erik Larson books I have read, have not ceased to amaze me. I have read the book “Devil in the White City” by Erik Larson before. That book was an absolute blast and gave me high expectations for this one. When I went to the library to check this book out, the librarian heavily praised the book which also gave me a positive outlook as I read it. I truly…

The dynamics and workings of the cross are the same and haven 't changed. Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever. We have one altar in the courts of heaven. Just one. That 's all we need. What gave us the idea this dynamic stopped working after we got saved? We still have to humble ourselves and we still have to seek forgiveness. You might ask, "Why do I have to ask forgiveness for the same thing over and over again?" We should ask God for forgiveness everyday for the sins of our…

The phrase double damned is describing the concept of one being denied by both heaven and hell. Othello exclaims this in support of his argument, claiming Desdemona is “lest being like one of heaven, the devils themselves should fear to seize thee; therefore, be double damn’d” (Shakespeare 4.2.). In this context, Othello exclaims that by denying her infidelity, Desdemona claims to be a being of heaven and therefore will be double damned and denied by both…
