From my perspective, I believe that “Hell”, if you look deeply, is quite closely associated with the Australian bush. This is because many of the key ideas behind the biblical passages, such as “fire not quenched”, could actually happen in a real life scenario. This short explanation will explain the ways in which these biblical passages relate the common things that happen in the bush. Firstly, referring to the biblical quote: “And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth”, the part which describes about gnashing of teeth, this could actually happen in the Australian bush.
Hell is a place of great pain and suffering. A place where you are constantly working and the temperatures are hot enough to melt your skin. The only thing stopping it is the fact that you are working, but when you stop, it is a pain that stays with you forever. Due to this, it is seemingly ironic when Lewis talks about Hell as being a place where you can just imagine something and it appears to you, or rainfall that pierces you like bullets. It just doesn’t match my idea of what Hell is going to be like.
I agree with Jonathan because being a religious person, I believe Hell is a place that is hard to comprehend, I believe that the
Hell is definitely the absence of the people you long for, especially in a time of need. A situation one is in could be hell, but what makes it even more challenging is when you have no one there to go through it with
In the Old Testament, there is not a Hebrew word for hell but there are references to death. Grave, pits death and Sheol are a bit vague with still giving an underworld feel. Within the New Testament the Greek word “Gehenna” is where the word Hell comes from. Gehenna in Jesus’s day was a dump. Bell makes a case about the description of Hell (fire, gnashing of teeth, and torment) are about the town garbage pile.

In Dante's Inferno, Dante who is main character is getting a tour of hell by his tour guide Virgil. Virgil his tour guide presents to him all the nine levels of hell, including the punishments the sinners must suffer with for all eternity. In the ninth level of hell, the worst sinners are frozen in a giant lake. The sinners are then eaten alive by whom is so called satan. According to Dante, Satan is described as “Than do the giants with those arms of his; consider now how great must that whole, which unto such a part conforms itself… O, what a marvel it appeared to me, when i beheld three faces on his head!
His hierarchy in The Divine Comedy is loosely based on Christianity, passing judgement on those that have yet to die and those that already have. Inferno adds its own elements to a Christian hell, while neglecting some featured in the bible. While the book is interpretive, it lacks the direct accuracy necessary to make it an extension of Christianity. A questionable topic

One of the things that was said in the ‘From Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God’ by Jonathan Edwards said, “The God that holds you over the pit of hell, much as one holds a spider, or some loathsome insect over the fire, abhors you, and is dreadfully provoked: his wrath towards you burns like fire; he looks upon you as worthy of nothing else, but to be cast into the fire; he is of purer eyes than to bear to
The story revolves around metaphors where everything has a double meaning behind what is said. Here what Dante is trying to tell us is that he wakes up in hell because he has strayed from the righteous path that the church and God has set for him. This medieval writing continues throughout the layers of hell sinners are damned to hell and live in a world devoid of any sanitation everything around them is full of suffering and death. Above the gate is a message that tells the beginning of the journey into hell and the suffering that will be caused, “I AM THE WAY INTO THE DOLEFUL CITY, I AM THE WAY INTO ETERNAL GRIEF… ABANDON EVERY HOPE, ALL YOU WHO ENTER” (399, 1). The church brings out these punishments seeing as the medieval era he lived in was during the time that the church dominated a person’s way of living.
In the Inferno, Dante describes the different levels of hell and the punishment which corresponds to the sin. Dante categorize hell into three major sins consisting of incontinence, violence, and fraudulent. Fraudulent is portrayed as the worse sin in the Inferno while incontinence is seen as a less serious sin. Each category has sinners which have all been punished for their wrong doings in life. The three major sins consist of circles where Dante separates the different sinners.
There is many interpretations of Heaven and Hell. Some imagine hell as being a place where the absolute wicked are tortured from all eternity, made by the Devil himself. A common depiction is that souls end up in Hell as punishment. In the final part of the Divine Comedy, Dante reflects on free will, and its perfection as a gift. It is this gift that Dante believes is Gods greatest gift to humanity.
