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.

The establishment of the kingdom of the Messiah would be in 69 weeks after the commanding of the restoration and building of Jerusalem.

    Fight Club Kyle Shaw Character Analysis

    A young adult was in love with the movie Fight Club. Kyle and his friends made movies, fought, and acted like they were the actors from the famous movie. “‘I thought that he thought he was Tyler Durden,’” (Gendar, Burke, and McShane 2). One of Kyle’s friends reported that statement towards the media saying how much Kyle idolized the main character of Fight Club. Kyle had threatened classmates with knifes and was an extremely violent teenager. He plotted his plan accordingly to the famous 1999 movie Fight Club. This incident happened on Memorial Day in New York. Kyle’s homemade explosive device damaged a sidewalk bench and shattered windows at the coffee shop.

    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.…

    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: 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…

    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…

    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)…

    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.…

All of the questions feed into each other because you cannot have one without the other.

    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…

    We all know Hell is a term used for the place where the deceased go down in the underworld to be punished for their sins. When we talk about Hell, it’s used as an expression to describe some kind of intense feeling. Hell can be the destruction of mankind or it can be a place that has been destroyed. In the novel Tomorrow, When the War Began, Hell is used to describe the new world that Ellie and her friends now live in.…
