Hell

As for my understanding of the angels, demons, and satan, I believe that all three are powerful forces, found within a realm that humans cannot truly grasp. I believe that demons can find ways to hide who they really are, turning things completely upside down in our lives, and through others. I truly believe that angels are sent to us, by God to protect us from the evil that comes from satan and his minions and that they can make themselves visible to whom God chooses to. As for my stance on the

Dante’s inferno shows the reader his interpretation of hell. In the book we see that depending on the sin that a person commits depends on which level of hell they go into. For example, someone that committed a crime of lust would go into the 2nd circle of hell. With the case of the Saint Valentine’s Massacre we can find out what circle of hell that Al Capone should go into. On February 14th, 1929 at 10:00am “four men burst into the SMC Cartage Company that Moran used for his illegal business”

flesh…” (5.38). Those moved to sin by their passions were subjected to the torment of eternal winds. This punishment conflicts with the worldly actions of Dido as her actions in life were punishable by entrance into the seventh circle; the region of hell where those who commit suicide are reduced to thorny trees with no hope of resurrection in the second coming of Christ. Queen Dido was not placed in the realm of the suicides because her suicide did not define her character and was not a product of

The Ideas of Hell and Purgatory "Hell has probably caused more personal anxiety and distress than any other Christian belief. Hell has also motivated many Christians to follow the Great Commission and attempt to convert the world to Christianity" ("Various Views of Hell: As seen by Conservative Christians"). The word "hell" derives from the Pagan Norse Queen of the Underworld, Hel. When Christianity first evolved, the church taught that nearly everyone descended

the discipline he or she gets in Hell. The Sullen stifle on mud, the Wrathful assault each other, the Gluttonous are compelled to eat stool, et cetera. This straightforward thought gives a hefty portion of Inferno's snapshots of stupendous symbolism and typical power, additionally serves to enlighten one of Dante's real subjects: the flawlessness of God's equity. The engraving over the doors of Hell in Canto III expressly expresses that God was moved to make Hell by Justice. Hellfire exists to rebuff

“If you read this poem out loud, tragic things will happen.” This is the warning that comes with the poem, Tomino’s Hell. The urban legend from Japan states that if you read it in its native tongue, you will be damned. Formerly popular on 2ch, many claimed to have read this poem aloud. Some returned and said nothing happened, though many never came back. Tomino’s hell is one of many urban legends around the world. Urban legends are fictitious stories spread as if they were genuine. Spread by the

nearly center of Dante’s Hell, where figures are judged by Christian values and are punished accordingly. False counsel, discussed in Canto 26, is the noticeable example of how Dante’s Hell is designed to follow strict doctrine of Christianity. The poem begins with Dante the character being lost wandering in a forest. The ghost Virgil is sent by Beatrice and two holy women to lead Dante to heaven. As the story progresses, Virgil guides Dante through the nine circles of hell, each of which represent

Even though the meaning of the phrase has been debated, I think that there is a lesson to learn from the oft heard phrase: “The road to hell is paved with good intentions.” If you were to turn on your TV today, you would see many common themes about how to “get into” Heaven, below are the two most common I have seen: Be the best person you can be (kind, generous, caring) and you will end up on Heaven. Everyone gets to Heaven, no matter how you act in life, all is forgiven because we are all good

enter here.” During the initial steps of his journey into Hell on the evening of Maundy Thursday before dawn on Good Friday in the year 1300, Dante the pilgrim encounters this ghastly statement found inscribed on the gates of Hell. It is within this first portion of his soul’s journey to Heaven that Dante the pilgrim confronts the antonym of hope – despair, and the inhabitants damned to suffer its hopelessness in perpetuity. This Hell, filled to the brim with sinners of all transgressions, is composed

What happens in hell? That is most assuredly one of the most contemplated yet unanswered questions of all time. Although a few people shed light on the possibilities, such as the Book of Revelation in the bible, or Dante’s Divine Comedy. The essay, what happens in hell, by Charles Baxter was most interesting and perhaps, insightful. He brings up a few main ideas which I would like to expound upon. The loneliness people experience in death and how death is not glamorous. Before being about to begin
