Dante's Concept of Hell:

In todays society we view Hell as a place that we are all destined to go to if we don't get right with God. This week in reading Dante's Inferno it takes us on a journey through Hell. In Dante's Version of Hell it's filled with dark souls of deceased people who didn't do anything good with their life. But before entering Dante entered through what the call they Gate of Hell. Now through reading this we learned about the nine circles of hell which essentially depends on how you condemned your sins after the first circle. Now although Dante showed no sign of fear, we all know Hell is not a place to take lightly and everyone should fear going there because it is not going to be fun for those who enter the gates of hell.

The Opinion On Doc3:

On my Doc3 I will be giving my personal opinion rather than just vague information and facts over my topic which is "Sappho". I will begin to argue my personal opinion on how I view her as a poet. I will argue why she is a predominant figure in Greek Poetry, and how readers view her poetry and the way she makes women a big role through her poetry  and the way she presents them through music and dancing. I plan on working on this over this week and hopefully the first try will be good enough not to revise it as much as I have to on my Wikipedia article.

The Similarities Between The New Testament and Qur'an:

The New Testament and the Qur'an have both many different similarities. Considering they do share the same religious homeland and have connecting characters between the books make a great reasoning why they have many similar characteristics. We see on Page 860 of our text book the context clues that show according the Qur'an "Gabriel also know as Jibreel delivered the message to Muhammad. In the bible Gabriel is a angel in heaven who one day will blow his horn to call Christians back home to heaven. Another similarity is the New testament and Qur'ans version of "The Feast". The Qur'an states, "You are forbidden to eat carrion;blood;pig's meat; any animal over which any name other than God's has been invoked;" (861). Its the same in The New Testament and Bible when God grants Adam and Eve the permission to eat certain fruit and later on when he states practically the same thing. These two text favor one another But which do you actually believe is true?

The New Testament and it's Relevance:

In the New Testament it clearly in text applies to our life's today. The New Testament creates a sense of morality for Christians and is kind of the basis for how we live today. Many Christians don't live the Jewish strict lifestyle that is taught in the bible. As a firm believer in Christ I saw on page (823) where it states not to gather your riches "treasures" on earth. The exact quote states " Do not store up your treasures on earth, where the moth and rust destroy them, and where burglars dig through and steal them; but store up your treasures in heaven". For today as Christians we are suppose to pray and gather our riches here for our heavenly afterlife. This rule or moral still applies to our life today. 

Opposite Roles in Daodejing:

With Daodejing being a collection of  Laozi's work it would make sense for there to be various other writers that would make his work contrast. Through reading this I learned that "Dao" is the reality itself. Learning the ways things come together. Through further research on
(http://www.iep.utm.edu/laozi/#H2) I learned that correlatives aren't opposite, in fact they are mutually exclusive. So maybe in this case opposite roles don't play a factor in Daodejing.

The president:

In my own personal opinion to me the candidates in the campaign of the 2016 presidential election only one stands out politically correct and even close to the teaches of Confucius. Dr. Ben Carson to me is the only candidate I have even considered voting for. Firstly I'm not democrat, and secondly Donald trump is a joke as a presidential candidate.  Yes I maybe bias, but we all have our own opinions. But enough of that Dr. Ben Carson is prolife and is in full support of Israel. He cares about education, and he even wants to protect the second amendment. Confucius is all about social roles, respect to elders and believes strongly the role of religion. Dr. Ben Carson and Confucius may have been great friends.   

The United States in War:

Since I can pretty much remember the United States has constantly been in war. After the 9/11 attack we have constantly been sending troops over to the middle east to stop the terroristic attacks from escalating. The United states being in war in Syria has been going on since like 2011. Though they have been there for nearly 4 or almost 5 years nothing is getting resolved. War seems to be constant, it never stops and world peace pretty much seems impossible with the recent bombing from Russia and how they act towards us I can see a possible World War III in the future.

The Eternal Soul:

Many people in today's society are either one or two things. They are either very religious or antireligious. There is no in-between. Even though they maybe antireligious many of us believe in an afterlife. Though I may begin ranting I don't understand how those who don't believe in God believe when they die they are going to heaven but ill save my opinion. The eternal soul is realizing who you are as a earthly human being. You can chose to give your life and soul to God and be ultimately granted everlasting life in peace or just not care at all. With the eternal soul being the topic. Your soul is like your heart you chose your actions and do what it desires.
