Well today wasn’t really eventful, besides the whole fact that Ema-chan didn’t know what came after Summer. Ya we were sitting at lunch and I don’t remember what got us on the tpic but we started talking about the sessions and Ema was like it Summer then. . . what comes after Summer >.< she almost fell over she was laughing so hard. Tonight we’re going to go and see Silent Hill at 9:30 *jumps up and down* I hope its good and not really cheesy. Well here’s to days Deadly Sin. . . For those that read yesterdays post the beginning is just a recap. ~Warning: the next few passages have a reference to the Catholic religion. I warn the now that the Catholic religion is heavy implied in the next passages and u may not know the people/things referred to, I’ll do my bust to go into depth on a few people and things mentioned .~ Seven Deadly Sins Everyone knows the Seven Deadly Sins. But here’s some information about the Sins and what each one really means. First, why are the called the ‘Deadly’ sins? The church made a division between sins which were venial and could be forgiven without the need for the sacrament of Confession and those which were capital and merited damnation. Capital or Deadly Sins were so called because they could have a fatal effect on an individual’s spiritual health. British wall paintings stressed the connection between committing the Deadly Sins and ending up in Hell. Next, why Seven sins? After three, seven is the number of greatest religious significance in ancient Judaism. God made the world in six days and rested on the seventh, hallowing it. The number seven consequently had connotations of completeness or perfection. It was also significant in the Ancient World, associated with the seven planets, the seven ages of man and the Seven Wonders of the World. Given its prominence in Jewish and Antique thought, it is not surprising that it retained its significance in the early Church. The Seven Deadly Sins became one of a number of important groups of seven current in the medieval church, for example, the Seven canonical hours, the Seven petitions of the Lord’s Prayer, the Seven Joys and Seven Sorrows of the Virgin and, of course, the Seven Corporal Works of Mercy. Last, the Sin of the day is. . . Envy Sin of the Devil Resentment of others for their possessions (Dante: "Love of one's own good perverted to a desire to deprive other men of theirs"). In the Latin envy is referred to as invidia. "Thou shalt not covet" is one of the Ten Commandments. This sin is generally depicted as a heart being eaten away, as in "eat your heart out". Over concern with the possessions of others is seen escalating to hinder sympathetic human relationships. When one is consumed by Envy, the opposing virtue of Charity is completely erased. ~The Ten Commandments are the fundamental laws of the Jews which tell the Jewish people how they should live. Many countries base their laws on these rules too.~ Punishment in Hell: Put in freezing water. Associated symbols: Envy is linked with the dog and the color green. |  Leviathan is the Demon of Envy. Great serpent demon of Hell and ruler of the oceans Leviathan - the twisting serpent from the primordial deep. Dante saw the spirit of evil as a huge serpent who so entangled himself with his victim that they became utterly intertwined and no longer distinguishable one from the other. To see a world in a grain of sand, and a heaven in a wildflower... hold infinity in the palm of your hand, and eternity in an hour... ~silverdragon~ |
