Hell

Hell In the Bible, we understand hell as eternal separation from God and eternal torment. The normal American philosophy of hell means physical pain and suffering with unquenchable thirst; nonetheless, this theory may not stand as the truth. The Bible uses a plethora of words that describe Hell. Fire, gnashing of teeth and darkness all are words used repeatedly in accordance with the description of Hell. Fire remains the most prolific descriptive word of Hell. When most people think about Hell

readers an amusing paradox: a debate in Hell. From a religious point of view, there is no possible debate in Hell because God, alone, decides whom to send to Hell and the sinners who are sent to Hell cannot discuss this decision. From the point of view of the Western classical tradition, God does not exist, thus, there is no needs for a debate because, without God, Heaven and Hell do not exist. In other word, Milton seems to tell his readers that a debate in Hell is futile. However, Milton uses Satan

I'll have to say, maybe! I'm not saying this as a means of promoting the faith that I follow, but I've recently come across a documentary called "The Gates of Hell", which focuses on the subject of damnation, that I thought might be worth sharing. One thing that I find particularly alarming is the fact that as we know, the earth is diverse in cultures and religious beliefs, yet most, if not all of these cultures and faiths have very similar ideas of the afterlife, and more specifically of the punishment

's not your fault, you weren 't even born yet. Unfortunately, while a deal with a demon is one thing, trading with spawn from hell itself is a whole other story. Your foolish family member didn 't just trade their soul for some ultimately meaningless boon, no. They traded the souls of their entire bloodline for unmatched power. Now you are cursed to walk the pits of hell for eternity, despite what good deeds you might accomplish in life. Fortunately, your ties to the tiers of the hellish abyss

go to Hell or Paradise. “Until the Day of Judgment, deceased souls remain in their graves awaiting the resurrection. However, they begin to feel immediately a taste of their destiny to come. Those bound for hell will suffer in their graves, while those bound for heaven will be in peace until that time.” Christianity practices a very similar method in which, after one dies, they will spend eternity in either Hell or Heaven. However, up until the 1300’s C.E., there was no real idea on what Hell was or

Dante Alighieri’s Inferno from The Divine Comedy, conveys his ideas and images of hell in one grand epic. The poem explains each circle of hell, who occupies these spaces, what sin they performed, and what endless punishment they received. The poem describes a dream that Dante has, where he is guided through these circles of hell with the great poet and author of The Aeneid, Virgil. Dante’s arrogance and egotistic personality are exposed in his extremely opinionated and bias poem. Dante is an important

Hell, as it turns out, is a picnic date with Satan where the only food ever served is egg-salad sandwiches. Maybe everyone’s version of Hell is different, but in mine, Satan also hates egg-salad sandwiches and I am still a relationship counsellor despite the fact that I had cheated on my living wife twice. It had been a while since I adjusted to Hell’s demon flames perpetually searing my backside making it feel like sunburn whenever I sat down to eat with my new best friend Satan, but I couldn’t

Who would write about a journey going to hell and coming out alive without a single scratch, scar, or mark? Not me, because I’d be departing long before entering the first ring. But, a dubious gentlemen by the name Dante Alighieri narrates his “adventure in hell” with his idol Virgil, in the poem Inferno. In Dante’s Inferno, Alighieri reveals his unique interpretation of hell. This so called final destination, if one is unable to live a righteous lifestyle. “...who, in terms of moral crisis, maintain

Alighieri, “The Inferno” demonstrates hell in its very nature, and the torment Dante visually experiences to achieve paradise throughout his journey. Dante Alighieri, born from 1265 to 1321, drew his inspiration of composing “The Inferno” from his deceased love, Beatrice, and anger towards his exile from Florence. Twenty years after his death, “The Inferno” received a half dozen commentaries. Although some may criticize and contradict Dante’s selection of the ranks of hell, “The Inferno” represents personal

The "Gates of Hell" was a disaster because if you were to fall into it there's very little chance of survival. They call it "The Gates of Hell" because it literally looks like the entering of Hell itself. Well at least that's how it is described as. There was one person who actually fell in. By the Grace of God he made it out alive, but he was burned very badly. He is still living to this day and I don't think he'll be going back there anytime soon. "The Gates of Hell" has been burning for over
