The bible teaches that there is a heaven and a hell, but some people live as though there is nothing like that

Both are very real, but many people have misconceptions about them. Heaven is God's throne. It is where he resides: "Jehovah is in his holy temple; Jehovah, his throne is in heaven; His eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men."( Psalms 11:4)
It is also the location of his Kingdom (government). His Son, Jesus is King of that government and a "little flock" of faithful Christians are awarded life in heaven to be co-rulers with Jesus and they will rule as kings, priests and judges over the entire earth.
Hell is the temporary resting place of those who fall asleep in death. They are awaiting a resurrection back to life. Death and hell will soon be done away with as Revelation 20:13,14 promises: "And the sea gave up the dead that were in it; and death and Hades(hell KJV) gave up the dead that were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death, even the lake of fire." (lake of fire represents total destruction)

I don't care about hell, although there is a Heaven, I would like to go into detail and explain How I know this, but that may take to long, just that there is, it's like earth, except there's more color, some new colors, mountains, gorgeous trees, plants, crystal clear water, river of life, plants that turn around as if they see you as you past by, flowers that you can walk on and they don't get smashed, animals, some you never seen before, everything and more, babies children from abortions. Where the grass is greener, colors are brighter, no shadows, just light. we all have homes there, the desires of the heart. And a Heaven of a lot more.

It is a matter of faith. There are some people who live like there is no tomorrow, but there will be. Some live like their actions don't affect others, but they do. And Heaven and Hell are real places, whether we want to believe that or not.

They are true... although non-believers do their best to do satan's work and tell you that it's not true.. and, yep, there are people who live like that.. can you imagine their shock, when they arrive in hell? can you imagine their eternal sorrow?
If you know anybody who's telling you there is no heaven or hell, pray for them, tell them the truth, get them into a church and get them understanding Jesus and Salvation.
Read the 3rd Chapter of the book of Romans.
And, if YOU aren't sure, and haven't been baptized, go ask a Baptist preacher about the Roman Road..
AND, if you would rather not do that, email me at my nick, @yahoo.com and I'll fill you in..

there are many within my own congregation that do not believe in hell. they believe in heaven and that you can never lose your salvation once you receive it. i am not certain that this part is true.
i do believe in hell. some believe that hell is a place of eternal suffering of fire and brimstone with demons torturing you, some believe that hell is merely the separation from God, although you dont physically suffer, being away from God is severe punishment.
it is written in the bible that both are real places, and until i get there, i wont know for certain, that which i take on faith.

Some people live as if there is no prison, yet there is. This is only proven when they find themselves in it. For the rest of us, we may not know what prison is like, but we are sure that we do not want to be there. So we take steps not to go there. Same is true for Hell, if we know it is true, then why not do what is needed to stay away from there?

It is one of the fundamentals of the Faith to have a Belief in the Reality of the Heaven and Hell

No, heaven and hell are not real. The Bible is a book filled with myths and legends.
