Earth is as close to hell as Christians will ever get. Earth is as close to heaven as nonchristians will ever get.
Since sin cannot enter the kingdom of God, God loved us so much that He sent His Son to die; paying the penalty that sinners deserved to pay. Now that I have accepted God's gift of salvation, I can know for certain that I will spend eternity with God. Heaven is described in Revelation, and it sounds wonderful, God promised that no one has even imagined how amazing heaven is going to be.
But nothing could ever compare with the gift of being in God's presence for eternity.
Hope to see you there!

No, hell is the absecne of God. Though life can sometime seem hard, it is a mixture of sin and evil that rule the earth, so we do have hell on earth, but God is always with us. We have to make the right choices and live righteous which is not easy, but the more you practice holyness the easier it becomes, but hell will always be out there trying to trip you up. You get to heaven by believing and accepting Jesus as the son of God, your lord and savior and live a righteous holy life no matter what sin go on in the world.

This life is not hell. As for getting to heaven, if I told you, all you would do is ridicule me and the other Christians on here, so I am not taking the bait, thank you.

Some do believe this is hell because there is so much negativity, so much hate, so much wrongful doing. When we think of a child molester, how can anything be any worse than that?
When we die, we will go on to the Other Side and we will understand how this Earth is not just hell, but it is here for us to learn and experience from.

No, because there is none. It's just a classroom where we learn things that will advance our development until we can use those lessons in the next phase. You'll get to the next level simply by eventually physically dying, but that won't be heaven, just another phase of development. All there are are infinite phases of development, because the soul has that kind of unlimited developmental potential.

This life is hell for some folks. If you want to get to heaven, move to Montana.

Hell is simply the concept of being absent from the presence of God. Though it may indeed seem that much of this earthly life is Godless, his presence is certainly here to guide us. Being absent from the presence of God is a permanent thing. When a person has at last made that final choice to be apart from God, he grants that wish by annihilation of that personality. That person no longer exists. That is "Hell".
Assuming one does not make that choice to be apart from God, but rather chooses to do God's will, then the reward is eternity with God. God's will is simple. He commanded us "Be you perfect, even as I am perfect." This is not something that will happen overnight, but will take many thousands, if not millions or billions of years to attain.

No. In hell there are no choices.
If you want to get to heaven, you need to ask the judge of human souls to guide you. That is, go to God and ask for salvation as well as how to work out your salvation. God will tell you. People may be able to guide you a little, but you need to have contact with God to find out what his will is for you.
