Answer:
According to Hawthorne, the wages of sin is the fiery lake in the life after just like in the Bible. It emphasizes more on hidden sin and its effects on the people involved. Dimmesdale practiced this ideology and would torture himself seeking redemption. The Bible warns sinner to confess their sins and reconcile with God in remorse.
Explanation:
The Bible would condemn Dimmesdale's approach to salvation as hypocritical and ignorant. Its books are most times figurative in their meaning and a literal understanding of its teachings can be misleading as it is contradictory. Unlike Hawthorne, the Bible does not require a draw of blood or torture for redemption but a remorseful heart and verbal confession of sin.
It would be best to check the grammar and double check the work.
