Reawakening And The Nature Of Hell
The author of Daniel affirms that a reawakening will take place. And when it does, some will awaken to everlasting life, and some will be damned to “shame and everlasting contempt”. The New Testaments offers more insight to the nature of hell. Matthew 25:31-46 provides a distinct passage on the infinite disposition of hell and eternal life by sharing an account that if the individuals in the given scenario knew Christ, then they will acquire eternal life. However, those who do not know Jesus will be condemned to eternal retribution. Considering that Jesus compares eternal life to eternal retribution, it is widely believed that the wicked will suffer from endless retribution found in John 5:28-29.

    Angel Gabriel in about 538 BC gives the Prophecy of seventy weeks in this text. The establishment of the kingdom of the Messiah would be in 69 weeks after the commanding of the restoration and building of Jerusalem. The word Shebua or week in the Hebrew language meant weeks, but all scholars come to an agreement that it meant four hundred and eighty three years, which is sixty-nine multiplied by seven. The Commencing of counting according to the text is in the year 458 BC, which is the seventh year of the King Artaxerxes of Persia. The king, during this year, issued an order that Ezra begin his journey to Jerusalem on the first day of the first month. According to current calendars, it would be 8th of April[1].…

    A Few Words on Dante's Inferno

    In the Inferno, the circle of Hell is determined by the sins the person (soul) committed while still alive on earth. For their deeds, they suffer eternally according to Divine Justice. The people one sees in life can already have chosen their eternal fate. Their outward actions may determine which part of Hell they are sent to, if indeed they are fated to go there and if Hell is the way Dante puts it.…

    Obadiah's Impatiences

    Hell was created for the banishment of the sinners and nonbelievers, simply as an isolation tactic. But Obadiah made it a form of punishment for the disobedient, making them analyze their doings and primarily wrongs. Creating a taxing pressure on the soul, leading first to discouragement. Then the act of remorse understanding one's wrongdoings and their guilt associated with their actions. Creating a fake hope for Obadiah that his brother the leader of the righteousness, would forgive him for his actions. Providing him passage back to the kingdom of…

    Cosmogony In Christianity

    Judgment is based on his life on Earth and whether he believed in Christ and followed his teachings. The Bible says: “Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God's wrath remains on him (John 3:36)”. Hell is a torture chamber while Heaven is a glorious place which is beyond description and the heavenly abode of God the Father. Those believers who are saved by God’s grace will get to go to Heaven. Salvation is of top priority to every Christian.…

    Christian Worldview Research Paper

    The Bible clearly teaches that there are only two very specific possibilities for eternity; Heaven, and Hell. There is only way to make it to Heaven, and that is to accept the gift that Jesus gave us by dying on the cross for our sins. (1 Peter 3:18) The Bible lists the two possibilities for eternity as being either eternal life, or eternal punishment. (Matthew 25:46)…

    Christian Worldview: Question Of Origin

    Heaven exists for the souls that believe that Jesus Christ is their Savior and Hell exists for the souls that have rejected Jesus Christ as their Savior. Anyone can receive the free gift of eternal life that was bought by the death of Jesus Christ (Romans 6:23). To receive the gift one has to believe and know that God sent His son, Jesus Christ, to this earth to save humanity from their sins through His perfect life, death and resurrection (John 3:16). When one understands what has been done, their life will be forever changed and will be evident through the act of sanctification. Sanctification is the product of a changed heart that their soul will spend eternity with their heavenly. Ultimately, the souls of humanity will end up either in Heaven with God or in Hell separated from God for…

    Is Hell Endothermic or Exothermic

    Is Hell Endothermic or Exothermic

    First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So we need to know the rate at which souls are moving into Hell and the rate at which they are leaving. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving. As for how many souls are entering Hell, let's look at the different Religions that exist in the world today. Most of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell. Since there is more than one of these religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all souls go to Hell. With birth and deathrates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially. Now, we look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell because Boyle's Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of Hell has to expand proportionately as souls are added. This gives two possibilities: 1. If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all Hell breaks loose. 2. If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over. So which is it? If we accept the postulate given to me by Teresa during my Freshman year that, "it will be a cold day in Hell before I sleep with you, and take into account the fact that I slept with her last night, then number 2 must be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and has already frozen over. The corollary of this theory is that since Hell has frozen over, it follows that it is not accepting any more souls and is therefore, extinct...leaving only Heaven, thereby proving the existence of a divine being which explains why, last night, Teresa kept shouting "Oh my…

    Who Is Jesus Christ and What Is His Mission to the World

    Jesus Christ is the sinless, eternal Son of God. We are all sinners. God is a Holy God. He is Love and He is Justice and MUST punish sin (Luke 11:42). The Bible says that "all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;" (Romans 3:23) and "Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die." (Ezekiel 18:4) Note that this death does not simply mean the grave, but eternal death, in Hell and the Lake of Fire, which was designed for the Devil and his (fallen) angels. (Matthew 25:41, 2 Peter 2:4-9) So that means all of us are, from the moment we first commit a sin on our way to hell. Remember that Jesus said that even if you look upon a woman in a lustful way, that you have committed adultery in your heart. (Matthew 5:27-28) If you hate in your heart it is murder (1 John 3:15). Being so Holy that He cannot tolerate sin (even the angels cover their faces and feet before Him (Isaiah 6:1-7)) God cannot allow us sinners into heaven, His holy place at the end of life/time. If He did, He would no longer be a good, Holy, Just God. But being Love He devised a way to save us all, without compromising His position as a Holy God, which He could never do. He sent His sinless Son, Jesus Christ into the World to pay the penalty for our sins. His Holy standards demand a sinless substitute. The only sinless man on earth was His eternal (ever-existing) Son.…
