'Constantine' movie's Gabriel, Lucifer, and God, are these ideas of new rebellion to God, hell and heaven?

Question

This Constantine movie shows new rebellion of Gabriel who is trying to get the son of devil born. Lucifer would want Constantine to follow him to hell. Here the difference of heaven and hell is obvious though heaven's condition is not feature like those smoke and unquechable fire in hell shown. Anyway, doesn't heaven seems to be better place to go? as the movie seems to say?

Answer 1

I really hope Blair Bear was trying to be humorous with the "figuratively" comment. All movies are, initially, to be taken figuratively. It's taking movies literally that becomes a problem. It is, after all, just a movie. However, in the movie, Gabriel isn't trying to bring the son of the devil to earth to go to hell, or to make anyone else go to hell. Gabriel is doing it so mankind will appreciate the sacrifices of Jesus and God. He wants to make humans worthy of God's love, since most humans-according to Gabriel- are no longer worthy. It's just like the long speech by Ben Afleck in "Dogma." Angles were created first, but they were designed to serve God- they were given no choice. Man was created second, but he was created better and cherished more by God than the angels were. The angels, like Gabriel and like in Dogma, got pissed off and decided to make man worth the high pedastal God had placed them on.

Answer 2

It's just a movie, don't take it so figuratively.

Answer 3

The afterlife is still a figurative idea, since the only people who really know about it .......









are already dead.......
