My belief is that you have to go through hell to get to heaven. If we are not in hell, does it say in any religious texts that reproduction will stop during the apocolypse?

We have been in hell since George W. Bush - the anti-Christ - was appointed as president in 2000.

If your Catholic and refering to purgatory, hell is not on earth. The evangelical Christian view is that hell is a literal place for the unbelievers. I believe in the conditionalist view, that hell is where the punishment is great, but not for eternity. The soul is then annihilated. DO NOT FEAR THOSE WHO CAN ONLY KILL THE BODY BUT FEAR GOD WHO CAN DESTROY YOUR
BODY AND SOUL IN HELL."
(Matt:10:28)
Reproduction? Like having babies? The apocolypse happened in 70ad in the destruction of Jerusalem. Reproduction has happened since.

No we are not in Hell. But I cannot see God letting babies suffer during the appocopse, I recently re-read the book of
Revelation and it said nothing of childbirth or reproduction that I recall.

No and no reproduction will not stop during the apocolypse.

NO we are not in hell. We are on earth. To get to heaven you must accept Jesus as your savior.
John 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

I believe that we are in Hell. When this life on earth (hell) ends, we will go on to a peaceful place until we are reincarnated to continue our spiritual education for God.

Actually, if you turn from your sins and accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior, then you will go to Heaven. If you do not you will go to hell. One or the other - not both.

WHAT A GREAT QUESTION. AND HERE IS THE TRUTH, FOR YOUR ANSWER. NO THIS IS NOT HELL. THIS IS EARTH, AND IT IS A "PROBATIONARY", "TEST" PERIOD IN THE ETERNAL LIFE-CYCLE OF OUR SOUL(THE REAL YOU). WE ARE SPIRITS IN HEAVEN, CREATED SPIRITUALLY JUST AS WE ARE PHYSICALLY. ALTHOUGH WE ARE ALLOWED TO KNOW THAT INFANT SPIRITS EXIST, WE ARE NOT ALLOWED TO SEE THEM, ATLEAST NOT WHILE WE ARE IN OUR BODIES AS PEOPLE. WE ARE BORN AS SPIRITS, AND AT SOME POINT IN OUR GROWTH WE ARE SELECTED/ OR DECIDE FOR OURSELVES THAT WE WISH TO COME TO EARTH AS PEOPLE, FULFILLING ONE OF GOD'S COVENANTS. BUT WHEN WE COME HERE WE HAVE A "VEIL" PLACED OVER OUR MINDS, AND WE FORGET WHAT HEAVEN AND GOD AND ALL THAT IS LIKE. THIS KNOWLEDGE IS REFERRED TO AS "THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD". NOT MEANING WE KNOW ALL THAT GOD KNOWS, MEANING WE HAVE A COMPLETE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD THE FATHER, AND JESUS THE SON AND ALL THINGS IN HEAVEN AND EARTH. WE ARE NOT AS GOD HIMSELF IS, MEANING THAT HAVING THAT KNOWLEDGE DOES NOT MAKE US HIS EQUAL. HIS GOAL FOR US ON EARTH IS TO FIND OUR WAY BACK TO HIM, ON OUR OWN, WITH THE FREE WILL AND CHOICE HE GAVE US. SO THAT WHEN WE DIE WE HAVE GROWN MUCH SPIRITUALLY, AND RETURN TO HIM IN HEAVEN. GOD WANTS US TO WANT TO BE WITH HIM OUT OF OUR OWN CHOOSING. WHAT KIND OF TEST WOULD IT BE IF WE WERE GIVEN THE ANSWERS BEFORE THE TEST? THIS IS HOW LIFE WORKS. GOD GIVES US THE INSTINCT OF RIGHT AND WRONG, AND THE FREEWILL TO CHOOSE EITHER. LIFE BECOMES BAD FOR US WHEN WE CHOOSE THE BAD. HOWEVER, LIVING IN THESE TIMES LIKE WE DO, THE WORLD MIGHT NOT MAKE IT LONG ENOUGH FOR US TO BECOME OLD AND DIE. THIS IS WHERE THE "APOCOLYPSE" BEGINS. AND TO GET A REALLY CLEAR AND EASILY UNDERSTANDABLE DESCRIPTION OF THESE FUTURE EVENTS, YOU NEED TO READ A SERIES OF BOOKS CALLED "THE LEFT-BEHIND SERIES"(FOUND AT WAL-MART). IT EXPLAINS THROUGH FICTIONAL CHARACTERS, WHAT HAPPENS BEFORE AND DURING THE TRIBULATION. IT EXPLAINS ALL THE WORLD EVENTS LEADING UP TO THAT POINT AND EVERYTHING AFTERWARD. AS FAR AS CHILDREN BEING BORN DURING THIS TIME, THE ANSWER IS YES. AND CHILDREN WILL BE BORN AFTER THE TRIBULATION, AND THE BOOKS EXPLAIN THIS WAAAY BETTER THAN I EVER COULD. PART OF THIS THOUGH IS THAT JUST BEFOR THE TRIBULATION BEGINS, ALL THE CHILDREN WHO AREN'T OLD ENOUGH TO TRULY CHOOSE GOD, WILL BE REMOVED FROM THE EARTH BEFORE THE UGLINESS BEGINS, AS WILL ALL WHO BELIEVE IN CHRIST BEFOREHAND. NOW FOR THE "HELL" PART. HELL IS A VERY REAL PLACE, AND AS HARD AS THIS LIFE CAN GET, I ASSURE YOU IT IS NOTHING COMPARED TO HELL. IF WE REFUSE TO BELIEVE THAT JESUS CHRIST CAME TO THIS EARTH TO SAVE US, THEN WE ARE GOING TO HELL. HOWEVER THERE IS MORE TO THIS, AND TO FIND IT OUT YOU'LL HAVE TO EMAIL ME AS I DON'T THINK I SHOULD PUT TOO MUCH ON THIS ANSWER FORUM. BUT IF YOU WANT I WILL EXPLAIN MANY THINGS OF TRUTH THAT HAVE BEEN REVEALED TO ME. I WISH YOU ALL THE BEST IN FINDING YOUR WAY OUT OF THE DARKNESS, AND INTO THE LIGHT.
