Inferno by Dante is a poem which chronicles Dante’s journey through Hell, also known as Inferno in Italian. Dante’s journey through the Inferno is guided by the Roman poet Virgil. In the poem, Hell is depicted as nine circles of suffering located within the Earth. The first circle of Hell, Limbo, is considered pre-hell and contains all the unbaptized, good people born before Christ that couldn’t be saved by him. The second circle contains the lustful sinners who are tossed into endless storms.
However, although god can foresee all that is, was and will be, he still gave the angels freedom of choice. This freedom was not given as a reason to rebel or to create corrupt thoughts. It was to show how God love them that he did not want them worship him like robots. Their love and adoration for God was to be a willing love not a commanded one. These angels were supposed to be ministers to oversee Gods kingdom
The clear distinction between “punishing” and “punishment,” becomes absolutely essential in this case. The essence of hell is that it is a place for those who will be forever separated from God, His characteristics and His people. It is a one-time judgment with lasting consequences. It is not an eternal punishing; rather, a punishment that lasts for all eternity. Hell, Strobel argues, was created as the place for those whose decisions in life led to inevitable separation from God.
This title also symbolizes how life is in reality. There is not a manual telling someone how to survive everyday life. People will have successes and failures in life just as the crew members had their ups and downs in the dinghy while they struggled to survive. No hardship, whether if it is about life in general or about the gentlemen in the story, will be easy, but that’s what makes life. “All of life is an act of letting go, but what hurts the most is not taking a moment to say goodbye.” As Martel written, we all have our moments of happiness and gloom as well and nothing is there to protect us, just like nothing was there to protect them while out at sea.
In order to be morally perfect both good and evil must exist outside of God so that he can choose it. The only way for a being to be morally perfect is for an evil to exist that is not chosen. If God destroys all evil, moral perfection becomes impossible because the choice not to do evil will no longer exist. If God is omnipotent, omniscient , and morally perfect he is constrained not to destroy all evil by his own definition of existence. The property or constraint of being morally perfect is as important as omnipotence.
He is malevolent. Is God both able and willing? Then whence commeth the evil. If he is neither able nor willing then why call him god?” This is called the inconsistent triad; if God has all these Omni qualities then why does evil still remain on earth? Augustine’s soul deciding theodicy was the demonstration that God is not responsible for the existence of evil.
A Stoic Universe: Lonely and Empty Imagine living in a world where you have no family to come home to, no place to rest your weary head at night, nothing to love or hold close to your heart. What if you chose to lose it all? For many, such an existence is unbearable and not worth living. However, if you are a Stoic, your precious and divine human dignity is reason enough to keep on going. In Martha Nussbaum’s Compassion and Terror, Nussbaum claims that human dignity is untouched by misfortune, pain, or malice in Stoic tradition: “All humans have it, no matter where they are born or how they are treated.
Because of their lavish life, members of the first estate saw no need for change and were blind to any social problems. They were in such a mentality that if they could better their lives in such a fashion, then there was certainly no need for reform. The second estate was similar in many respects to the first. Those in this estate were noblemen and noblewomen of high breeding and social status. These people were supposed to pay taxes in wartime; however, because they were not used to paying taxes, this rule was rarely enforced.
Now in this world there is a balance of everything that is how order is kept in this world therefore for every good thing that happens there will be something bad following. I will be arguing why god allows evil and how he gives us free will to choose from good or evil. God didn't create evil. Evil is only a lacking of good. God is good, and the things that He created are meant to be good.
With lust, no one has to worry about other people’s feelings being hurt or even a broken heart. Avoiding this is simple, one must declare it is a physical attraction. Lust does not involve all the emotions that love carries. Loving someone means missing him/her or even wondering if the other person is safe. Lust does not involve all the responsibility and commitment, but no one can lust forever.
