Answer 2

Sure, yeah, make me feel bad about letting some of my trivia lapse. I used to know that, I'm sure that you can find it online, just be careful of what you search. I would just google "Dante's levels of Hell" or something else very specific. I believe that limbo is first and vanity and prodigality are second and third. I thought treachery and heresy were the last two. But I'm not much help without searching my boxes for my Inferno

Answer 3

Oh man... I'd have to dig out my copy of Inferno to get them all right.... but I do recall that the 9th circle is betrayal and treason. That ol' divil has got the prime betrayers of all history, including Judas, caught in his teeth and Judas et al get to spend eternity being chewed on. I believe the other betrayers are caught in ice in that same circle. Hard to forget an image like that... which of course is why Dante's name is still known today, lol.

Answer 4

That was the ravings of a madman. Different places where God tortures people???
How can you believe that and still love God?
God told Adam "for dust you are and to dust you will return"
Jeremiah 7:31 and they have buildt the high places of topeth.
Which in is the valley of the son of himmon. in order to burn their sons and daughters in the fire. a thing that I did not command them to do nor did it come up into my heart.
That was a pagan teaching from a false God.
God never thought or wanted humans to burn anyone. Isn't that what hell is? that is Satanic idea.
