Seven Layers of Hell aka Divine Comedy
Just wanted to know your thoughts on this?
I do believe in Hell, however, I do not believe there are several layers as 'Dante' is writing to us about. I believe that the Bible gives us truth about Hell.
Final question, what is your stand on this?

From a recent/modern perspective, I would liken this to people getting their theology from the DaVinci Code. It's fiction. Well-written fiction. But still fiction. So let it be entertaining, but get your theology from Scripture. |

this caught my eye because I'm currently reading the book (only on page 72). |

I think you should know that I'm not yet a minister but do feel called into ministry and while I am workin on that I currently am a High School Senior. So this is basically a disclaimer lol. But I agree looking at Dante's Inferno (where this multilevel picture of hell comes from) and comparing it to scripture there is no mention of multiple levels of hell. Lookin at the history of the Inferno you see that Dante also wrote 2 other parts of his Divine Comedy (Purgatorio and Paradiso) but particularly wrote the inferno because he was bitter and at the time and angry at some people. I mean wut better way to get back at 'em than picturin 'em all n hell and writin a book about it. I suggest looking deeper into it; it can get pretty interesting. |
