Divine Comedy Southern Hemisphere
417 words
In his lecture, Professor Mark Dantmore says that
Purgatorio is "almost science fiction" to people
of the time it was written. I find it very
interesting that a book in the Divine Comedy,
something the Catholics take as truth, might be
described this way. Of course Purgatorio is a book
largely dealing with Christian themes, but the
actual setup was meticulously constructed to agree
with scientific knowledge of the time. In fact, it
was demonstrated in the lecture that the
descriptions of the pos...

Heaven And Hell Son Of God
1,314 words
There are many substantial and vital distinctions
between Judaism and Christianity. Of course there
are many similarities, primarily because
Christianity emerged from Judaism. However, the
emergence was not a direct line. Christianity
broke from Judaism, forming a new religion, so it
is misleading, however comfortable the thought
might be, to believe that the two religions are
essentially the same, or to see Christianity as
the natural continuation of Judaism. Judaism's
central belief is that th...

he ordered me and proceeded to join the funeral
