The teaching about going to heaven or hell are false! When you die your body is buried in the ground in a hole. Hell is a hole in the ground.
No where does it teach that the reward of the saved is heaven nor does it say any have gone there. In fact Jesus says no man has ascended up to heaven. John 3:13
The reward for the saved is the Kingdom of God which will be on the earth.Rev. 5:10 & Rev. 11:15 where it says Jesus will take over the Kingdoms of this world!
Jesus preached the Kingdom of God Mark 1:14.
The gospel (good news) is the teaching about Gods coming Kingdom to this earth. May God speed that day!

The "Heaven'n'Hell" crowd make it easy for you; if you don't make it to heaven, then you go to hell. Apparently the only qualification for hell is NOT going to Heaven. That's it. So it's pretty easy to qualify for hell. From what I understand, it's not your choice, either.
I believe in God, and have been told repeatedly by Christians that that is NOT good enough. It is also not good enough that you do good works, and are always kind, and hurt noone. Helping the poor will not get you there, nor will helping the sick. Only proclaiming that you accept Jesus as your personal savior into your heart will do the trick.
Apparently, living like Jesus is not good enough; you have to SAY you really, really, REALLY like him alot.

Actually when people die; they're asleep in the grave. Death is called a sleep (Matt.9:24; John 11:11; 1Cor.15:51; 1Thess.5:10).
The spirit goes back to God that gave it!(Eccles.12:7; Psalm 146:4)
The Bible describes three hells.
SHEOL OR HADES, THE FIRST HELL
The first term in Greek and Hebrew means the grave. It's the grave where the dead await the resurrection.
GENESIS 37:35---I SHALL GO DOWN INTO THE GRAVE.
PROVERBS 15:11--HELL & DESTRUCTION ARE BEFORE THE LORD.
ECCLES.9:10---NO WORK...OR KNOWLEDGE...IN THE GRAVE,
MATT.11:23---WILL BE BROUGHT DOWN TO HADES
1COR.15:55---O HADES, WHERE IS YOUR VICTORY
GEHENNA, THE SECOND HELL
The second term in New Testament means the place of fiery destruction of the wicked.
MATT.5:22--...BE IN DANGER OF HELL FIRE
MATT.10:28--TO DESTROY BOTH BODY AND SOUL IN HELL
TARTAROO, THE THIRD HELL
This third term is only used once and refers to the place of restraint where the demon spirits were placed following the rebellion against God.
2PETER 2:4---BUT CAST THEM DOWN TO HELL.
THE THREE HEAVENS
There's 3 heavens.
First Heaven = This is also called the firmament or expanse of heaven. It is the heaven where the birds fly and where the clouds give rain. (Gen.1:26; 2:20; 8:2 & 1Kings 18:45)
Second Heaven = This refers to outerspace where the sun, moon and stars can be found. (Gen.22:17 & Exodus 32:13 & Joshua 10:13)
Third Heaven = The Apostle Paul tells us that the heaven of God's abode is the "third heaven." In the Old Testament this is often designated by the phrase "the heaven of heavens." (Joshua 2:11 & Psalms 11:4 & 2Corinthians 12:2 equated with v.4 = paradise)
THERE ARE TWO KINGDOMS: ONE ON EARTH AND THE OTHER ONE COMING DOWN FROM HEAVEN.
The 1st Kingdom of Heaven =
DAN.7:27 = "AND THE KINGDOM AND DOMINION, AND THE GREATNESS OF THE KINGDOM UNDER THE WHOLE HEAVEN, SHALL BE GIVEN TO THE PEOPLE OF THE SAINTS OF THE MOST HIGH, WHOSE KINGDOM IS AN EVERLASTING KINGDOM, AND ALL DOMINION SHALL SERVE AND OBEY HIM."
REV.5:10 = "AND HAST MADE US UNTO OUR GOD KINGS AND PRIESTS: AND WE SHALL REIGN ON THE EARTH."
The 2nd kingdom of Heaven =
AFTER 1,000 YEARS = A NEW HEAVEN AND NEW EARTH-HOLY CITY COMING DOWN FROM HEAVEN = REV.21:1-4; ISAIAH 65:17-25; 66:1,22 AND ETC.
SO HERE'S WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO---
ISAIAH 66:21; ZECH.14:9-11 = "BUILD HOUSES, PLANT VINEYARDS, EAT VINEYARDS"
ISAIAH 66:23; ZECH.14:16-19 = "WORSHIP FROM ONE NEW MOON TO ANOTHER AS ONE SABBATH TO ANOTHER"
JESUS WILL BE GIVING CITIES TO THE SAINTS INWHICH THEY WILL BE TEACHING OTHERS THE TRUE MESSAGE OF THE BIBLE = MATT.25:14-23; EZEKIEL 36:10,33; LUKE 13:26; ISAIAH 61:4
WE WON'T MARRY OR BE GIVEN UNTO MARRIAGE = MATT.22:30
BOYS AND GIRLS WILL BE PLAYING IN THE STREETS = ZECHARIAH 8:4-5,8
MEEK SHALL INHERIT THE EARTH = PSALM 37:9-11; MATT.5:5; REV.5:10

Honey - don't let the Christians get to you: they are all afraid of death and the unknown because they have no faith in god. They fear god and want desperately to be rid of the pain and suffereing that exists in life. They take god's gift of life for granted by waiting for jesus to return.
God is what you make of it and finding your own path will lead you to true happiness. Don't let others dictate what you believe. Religions are glorified cults that prey on the weak and fearful.
I have it on good authority that it doesn't matter what religion you belong to or what you believe. Have faith that you have a path to follow and watch for the signs because they are all around you.
I think heaven and hell are a metaphor: have faith and you will be happy in "heaven", have no faith and your life will be a living "hell". That makes WAY more sense to me than anything I've read in any religious texts.

The Bible says the wages of sin is death(Romans 6:23). It isn't only talking about physical death, but spiritual as well. As humans who sin--you, me, the pope--we all deserve to die and go to hell. By sinning we are automatically qualified for hell. But the end of romans 6:23 says but the gift of god is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. God loved us enough to send his only son, perfect, sinless, Jesus to die on a cross for us.(John 3:16) All you have to do to be qualified for heaven is admit you are a sinner and ask God to forgive you and come into your life. You'll still make mistakes after but thats the gift. You don't have to earn it just receive it.

Dear:Yan Ro:8:24: For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?
Ro:8:25: But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.
Ro:8:26: Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
Ro:8:27: And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.
Ro:15:13: Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.Read the HOLY BIBLE,KING JAMES VERSION,it is
the instructions to life,and life eternal. GOD IS LOVE

You either go to heaven or hell...you believe in God, good,but so does the devil. You need to ask Jesus to save you, and if you really, believe in him, he will save you and forgive you. Jesus died for you, he wants you in heaven with him.
John 3:16-17
"Joh 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Joh 3:17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. "
Acts 16:31 Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved

No, believing that Jesus Christ has died for your sins (past, present, and future sins), realize that your a sinner and no matter what you will never to be able to stop sinning therefore you need a savior in Jesus Christ. Only then you will have eternal life forever, and that can not be taken away, no matter what anyone else will tell you.
It's a freeing feeling to know that. The word "Gospel" means good news, and that my friend is good news. Once you believe, start studying the word of God to see what he has in store for your life. Once you believe Sin is no longer an issue in your life.

Here it is. Everyone would go to hell and then to heaven but the thing is how long would he stay at each place. The time in hell usually depends upon the sins you committed in the life and the time in Heaven depends on the amount of "punyam" (I guess it is faith) you should get to avoid rebirth.
