manner than good. Satan and his followers in Paradise Lost are presented as being more evil than God and his disciples are good. God addresses the Son to be in the likeness of himself in Book three by saying‚ "The radiant image of his glory sat‚ his only Son."(Bk. 3‚ 63-64). Although this implies that the Son is a model of perfection as is God‚ it does not clarify it by stating it outright. Milton definitely portrays Satan ’s evil in Book four by asserting that Satan is hell and that evil

Reflection Paper Submission Monday‚ November 17‚ 2014 7:57 PM Angels and Demons I. Introduction In this‚ my first ever reflection paper‚ I have chosen to write on the subject of Angels and Demons. Let me start by stating I believe angels and demons do exist; the fact they exist on a higher spiritual or dimensional plain does not diminish my belief. Through historical texts (biblical and manuscript) mankind has been presented with evidence they exist. However‚ it appears the preponderance of evidence

FIRST SPEECH: Satan acknowledges how utterly his confederate‚ Beelzebub‚ has been changed‚ for the worse‚ by the devils’ defeat‚ but stresses fact that they are still united in their fall. He recognizes God’s superior strength‚ but points out that he now knows the extent of God’s power‚ previously unknown because untried. Despite the change they have outwardly undergone‚ Satan stresses the unchanged nature of his attitude to God’s Son‚ “the potent Victor”. “All is not lost” because Satan will never

importance of these hierarchies and allow both Satan and Eve to cause turmoil‚ only to be followed by complete restoration from the overall power of God and the hierarchy. Paradise Lost demonstrates how hierarchies provide necessary structure and guidance to life by exemplifying how disobedience and deceit can temporarily destabilize the system‚ only for it to be rebuilt with authority and remain equally as strong. The poem immediately begins with Satan destabilizing the most significant hierarchy

source of all evil. The difference between this and what the bible says about God and Satan is this the bible doesn’t clearly say Satan is the source of all evil and at the same time it does say that God is the source of all good. The Bible clearly a state that Satan was an angel of God in Isaiah 7 and then he rebelled against God so that alone shows that it’s a contradiction of religious dualism in the sense that Satan is not the source of all evil and in Ezekiel some theologians think that he was talking

"The Passion of the Christ" by Mel Gibson‚ recounts the last twelve hours of the life of Jesus of Nazareth‚ portraying his arrest‚ trial‚ crucifixion and death. One of the most anticipated and popular religious movies in modern society‚ it therefore becomes susceptible to criticism. Although the film is based upon the stories within the four gospels of Matthew‚ Mark‚ Luke and John‚ there are many exaggerations and non-biblical elements present in the movie. This is not unexpected‚ since it is

about the relationship between God and Satan. We have been taught that Satan opposes God out of hate. Satan doesn’t hate God. No where in the scriptures do you find this. The truth is that God and Satan are closer than we may imagine. Just like two enemies who are on opposing sides but yet they respect and know each other more than anyone else. God and Satan actually have very similar intentions for the universe but where they differ is where they oppose. Satan is an enlightened being who understands

jealousy of God is one way that Milton conveys this theme of jealousy in the epic poem. Milton describes how Satan is jealous of God’s position and wants to be equal to him. In book five‚ Raphael explains to Adam the jealousy Satan felt and why he was condemned from Heaven. The outcome of Satan’s jealousy is the start of the war between Heaven and Hell for three days and ultimately Satan being cast into Hell by the Son. Milton’s use of the theme of jealousy in this example reveals to readers that
