The Inferno The definition of justice revolves around what society defines as being fair and what gives equality of deserved consequences. The concept of justice takes its basis on several fields that include ethics, law, religion, and equity. The theme of justice carries a significant part of literature where authors give different definitions of justice or leave the meaning of justice at the discretion of the readers. The administration of justice by various institutions such as courts tends to suffer from contradiction from other institutions such as religious beliefs. In Christianity for example, a disagreement arises when a choice has to be made between serving justice and embracing forgiveness. The bible favors forgiveness instead of administering justice since forgiveness represents love. However, the definition of justice differs significantly between denominations since different denominations have different laws of government. The Inferno is an Italian poem written by Dante Alighieri in the 14th century about Dante’s experience in hell. In religion, hell represents a realm that serves as punishment for the rebels of spiritual values. In the poem by Dante, nine concentric…

            THE GARDEN TOMB JERUSALEM   Garden Tomb also referred to as Gordon’s Calvary is found outside the old city walls of Jerusalem. It was unearthed in 1867 and faces a rocky escarpment which scholars from the mid-19th century have proposed to be Golgotha.  Within this garden, there is Jewish ancient rock-cut tomb and many Christians consider it to be the site where Jesus of Nazareth, the son of God was buried and later He resurrected. So it’s a site where many Christians visit to be witnesses of Jesus history and worship. With a purpose of preserving and maintaining this site, the garden grounds were purchased by the Garden Tomb Jerusalem Association in 1894. It is a charitable Trust which is based in the United Kingdom (Kark, R., & Frantzman, S. J. (2010). The Association is made up of people from various different national and denominational backgrounds that are united by their belief in the glorious message of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

The Separation of Church and the State             The definition of the church and the state differ in several dimensions. However, the two institutions have coexisted for several years with concerns being raised concerning their interrelated roles. Dante lived in an era when the Roman church had taken dominion offer the state and political power had been given to the church. The church not only controlled part of the civic sector but was given some regions to exert power over. In his poem “Inferno,” Dante, however, holds a different view concerning the involvement of the church in politics. Dante believes that the allowance of politics in the church contributes to the mass deviation of the clergymen and other church leaders from their spiritual responsibilities. Dante uses his experience in the purgatory to support his idea that hell was holding several church leaders for their involvement in politics at the expense of their spiritual duties and that the church should be separated from the state. Dante uses the motif of the separation of church and the state by basing his argument…

Going Back Home The book of Philemon is one of Paul’s shortest letters. It was a letter to Philemon, a member of the church, and also a rich man who had slaves. One of Philemon’s slaves had run away and had met Paul. The slave’s name was Onesimus. Onesimus had met Paul and coincidentally had gotten born again, and he now believed in God. Slaves who had run away from their masters were killed as punishment. In this letter, Paul beseeches Philemon to spare the life of Onesimus and accept him as a brother in Christ despite his past condition. Paul explains, “no longer as a slave, but better than a slave, as a dear brother. He is very dear to me but even dearer to you, both as a fellow man and as a brother in the Lord.” (New International Version, Philem. 1.16). Paul’s letter speaks of forgiveness of Philemon to his slave Onesimus. In the letter, Paul is cautious with his words. He starts by thanking Philemon for being supportive of the ministry and carrying on the good…

The aspect of people using their phones to ready what is trending and not and not concentrating to listen to the teachings in a way that social life has overturned the spiritual life in the church.  The observation…
