Is hell real? Watch the Complete Documentary of "the Gates of Hell" from History Channel

Be it in ancient mythologies in cultures around the world, in religion, and even in literature, there are descriptions of how hell looks like. Regardless the descriptions, all bear similarities of how humans are to be received in the underworld after they die. It is always never pretty.

But what is it about the idea of hell which still spooks people even in the modern times? One reason could be that in ancient mythologies in various cultures around the world and even in religion, there is actually a passage to the underworld for the damned, and for religion, serving as a warning to the non-believers. The documentary went to caves and volcanoes in Nicaragua, Belize, Greece, Iceland, Ireland and Ethiopia which had been described since across time. Like in Iceland, it is the infamous volcano Hekla which was called 'Gateway to Hell' in the Middle Ages which since after the eruption of Eyjafjallajökull in 2010 which had paralysed air travel across Europe for a period of time, raising the prospect of an eruption from Hekla which could reach a level much more worse than what happened in 2010. One example when it comes to the medieval and religious interpretation of hell comes in Ireland at the St. Patrick's Purgatory.

Not only that, it also explore how people's popular notion of death came about, and it is from Inferno, the first part of Dante's epic poem Divine Comedy. Dante might had originally been a politician, but it is the level of corruption he sees which led to what would become one of the hallmarks of literature, would come to be titled Inferno and the famous line - 'Abandon all hope, ye for who enter here'. For the first time, the different levels of hell are being depicted, forever changing how people view hell and bringing to light the innermost fears of people of what awaits them when they die. Dante had imagined hell to be make up of different layers of punishment, depending on the level of crime(s) committed when the person was alive.

Regardless the interpretations, the belief that one could hear voices from hell still holds true in the modern times. Claims of voices being recorded from the underground which people do believe that it is genuine. The fact that there is a sizeable amount of people who believe that hell do exist and people do go there after they die meant that it still resonates with people these days. Thus, depictions of hell will come to serve as a warning for people when they are still alive on how to behave and lead their lives, so as to serve as a caution.

It can be scary at times, and spooky at the same time when it comes to the graphics presented, but the documentary is a reminder of why we are still fascinated and scared of hell even after all these years, even in the modern times. It is up to how we look at hell, regardless from whatever perspective we took. And whether we do believe in it in the first place.

But Bible is very evident and Clear about hell although it speaks so little about it but it is there. God has let us make a choice through free will which he granted. You decide now there is no time left. 

Pray to Jesus and believe that he will forgive your sins and transform you inside out and will grant you salvation which is eternal.  God does not want you to go to hell.

If you had any experience after watching this documentary please do write to me at rajappaas79@gmail.com

May God bless you

Amen

Aspects of Information as Found in the Bible

by Dr. Werner Gitt on May 28, 2009 God is shown as the source or sender of biblical information. 14.1 God as Sender—Man as Recipient The five aspects of information—statistics, syntax, semantics, pragmatics, and apobetics—were discussed in chapter 4 , and it was stated that all five are indispensable for both the sender and the recipient. It is highly instructive to view the Bible in this way. Figure 27: God as sender; man as recipient. When God speaks in the Bible, He is the Sender of information. The message of the Bible, transmitted to us as recipients, can be analyzed according to the aspects of information, namely syntax, semantics, pragmatics, and apobetics. Only when we cover all the levels, will we achieve the purpose intended by God. Sender: In Figure 27, God is shown as the source or sender of biblical information. His Word is available to us today in completed ( Revelation 22: ) and written form (e.g., Exodus 17:14 ;...

Five Powerful Communication skills to Effectively Manage and Nurture Relationships

Every relationship, even with someone we've just met, begins with how we communicate.   Communication is the foundation of any relationship, reflecting the depth of our concern, joy, or other inner feelings toward the other person. Clear, affectionate, understanding, and honest communication strengthens bonds, potentially lasting a lifetime. In some friendships, there's a unique way of expressing wishes that deeply resonates with us, affirming the connection.   Others may communicate in a straightforward manner, signifying a relationship of convenience rather than depth. The way we communicate reveals how much we value the relationship—if we truly care, it will be evident in our words; if not, our communication will be limited to what is necessary.   Your relationship begins with your intent and your words. The right words can heal like a balm or cut like a knife. Your words matter.   Here are five powerful communication skills to effectively man...

Hudson Taylor's Testimony

Hudson Taylor’s Testimony There is nothing like reading salvation stories. Hudson Taylor’s (a British missionary to China who lived from 1832-1905) testimony is one of the greatest and most exciting salvation stories that I have read. Below you will see an excerpt from his autobiography where he tells the details of how God rescued him by His grace through the prayers of his mother. What a glorious Savior is Jesus! Here is the account: Let me tell you how God answered the prayers of my dear mother and of my beloved sister, now Mrs. Broomhall, for my conversion. On a day which I shall never forget, when I was about fifteen years of age, my dear mother being absent from home, I had a holiday, and in the afternoon looked through my father’s library to find some book with which to while away the unoccupied hours. Nothing attracting me, I turned over a little basket of pamphlets, and selected from amongst them a Gospel tract which looked interes...
