Spiritual Life In Dante Alighieri's The Inferno

Guidebook to the stars: The inferno as a philosophical work to salvation The Inferno is a work that functions as a guidebook of life for its readers. With so many different philosophical messages to lead readers through different scenarios, Dante 's guidance is overlooked. Within the Inferno Dante shows his readers how they can go through life when they find themselves “within a dark wood, abandoning the road that runs true”. (I: 2,12)

The author of Hebrews, after consulting the ancestors, posits Jesus as superior to angels, superior to Abraham, and superior to Moses (Hebrews 3:3-5). Additionally, because of Israel’s discord in the desert, their generation has passed away and will not be joined with God. It is easy for one who is unaware of the anti-Jewish rhetoric to interpret this as replacement theology. Hebrews 4:1 may be the worst of them all: Therefore, while the promise of entering his rest is still open, let us take care that none of you should seem to have failed to reach it. 2

With a clear view of Calvin’s teachings about election, it will now be shown from select passages in the Thessalonian letters that Calvinistic election is false. There are two aspects to these letters that need to be investigated: historical and immediate context. Historically, the Thessalonian Christians were just beginning their walk with Christ when Paul was forced to leave them amid persecutions (Acts 17:1-10). He admired their endurance, but he still feared for their faith. His fear drove him to write these two letters so that he could comfort and encourage them (1 Thess.

“Do not gloat when your enemy falls; when they stumble, do not let your heart rejoice, or the Lord will see and disapprove and turn his wrath away from them” (Proverbs 24:17-19, NIV). How do you as a Christian balance the competitive spirit with Scripture that tells us not to rejoice when we see our opponent fall? To answer the question, “How do I as a Christian balance the competitive spirit with Scripture that tells me not to rejoice when I see my opponent fall?” After pondering this question, I must admit that I have been guilty when hearing that something may have happened to someone who has done spiteful things towards me and I must admit that I have been guilty of rejoicing in their downfall.

Augustine also did not have a perfect answer, but he believes that God must let mankind through the experience of ignorance and difficulties. “It is true that, in the works studied by Ogliari, Augustine says that not all people will be saved by the grace of the second Adam, Christ. Everyone is treated justly and some will receive the mercy of God” (Van Geest, Paul). Augustine thinks that not everyone has the right to be saved. God knows who will be saved, so some of the humans are destined to be saved.

You shall walk after the Lord your God and fear him and keep his commandments and obey his voice, and you shall serve him and hold fast to him. 2. Principle According to Edwards, he explains the function of the second commandments is to protect the first because “man would make God ‘man-size’.” The false prophet or dreamer who is in the passage might suppose other gods who look understandable and reasonable.

The question of free will was no ordinary question for Luther; his entire understanding of the Gospel of the grace of God stood on this question. And all that fell or stood in the way he went about it. For Luther the initial structure of the Biblical doctrine of grace was the denial of free will, and it was also was a stepping stone for someone who would be seeking to come to the faith of God and understand the Gospel. Anyone who has not understood or attempted to learn about the bondage of his or her own sin has yet to understand any part of the Gospel. I believe that Justification by faith alone is very important and crucial that it be interpreted correctly.

Luther also stated in his speech, "I look to a day when people will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character. " Looking at the book of Amos, the key themes include social justice and divine judgment. The Israelites claimed to follow and worship God, but they were very sinful people at

Similarly, King Zedikiah inquired of the Lord through Jeremiah concerning war with Babylon and God told him that his efforts would be fruitless because he, the Lord, would oppose him also, to their utter destruction (Jeremiah 21:1-7). As with all Jeremiah’s pronouncements against Judah, it would to be as Banwell asserts, “the impression that faith and justice are the sure defense, and that for a disobedient and unrighteous people there was no effective defense, even by force of arms” (p. 56). Contemporary Message Several parallels exist between the Jewish nation and the modern church in as much as, seldom do we truly understand and represent who he is. God’s desire to the nation of Israel from its inception was to have a nation of priest to intercede, mediate and draw all mankind to the one true and living God (Exodus 19:6).
