From birth, we all gain our own interpretations of what Heaven will be like. What we have to understand is that if God Himself chose to dwell there, how great is this place? The bible talks about an immovable gulf between Heaven and hell. In hell, you can see the people in Heaven, and you remember the times you denied Christ, but you also are being tormented on top of all that. God created both Heaven and hell. He did not intend for ANYONE to go to hell (mans free will), but He makes sure your have the choice! Choose you this day whom you shall follow, accept Christs Gift of salvation cuz He died for YOU TOO! May the Lord Bless You Abundantly!!!

The visible heaven is the physical universe consisting of the moon, stars and the planets. The invisible heaven is where our Creator resides. We cannot imagine how vast his heavenly home is, considering how great our visible universe really is.
At Isaiah 66:1 it says--"Thus saith Jehovah, Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool."
The Bible hell is where all people go when they die. It is the common grave.
How do we know that hell is the grave? Well, we can read many verses in God's Word that assures us of that fact. Here are but a few:
Prov 15:24--"The way of life is above to the wise, that he may depart from hell beneath." (wise and unwise persons go to the Bible hell)
Psalm 139:8--"If I ascend into heaven, You are there; If I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there." (If hell is a fiery,hot place of torture, would David think God (Psalms 83:18) would be there ?)
Amos 9:2--"Though they dig into hell, From there My hand shall take them; Though they climb up to heaven, From there I will bring them down." ( Can you dig into fire? No, but you can dig into the earth and God can find you no matter where you try to hide.)
Jonah 2:2--"And said, I cried by reason of mine affliction unto the LORD, and he heard me; out of the belly of hell cried I, and thou heardest my voice." ( The belly of the fish would have been Jonah's grave, if God had not rescued him.)
Ecclesiates 3:19,20--"For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath; so that a man hath no preeminence above a beast: for all is vanity. All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again."
( Humans and animals go to the same place when they die)
Revelation 1:18--"I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death." (Why would Jesus need keys to hell? Because the dead do not have to stay in hell forever; they can be resurrected back to life.)
Revelation 20:13-14--"And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death." (Hell delivers up the dead, meaning a resurrection from the grave), and what happens to death & hell? They are thrown into the lake of fire, meaning total destruction.
God is love and tortures no one.
The price we pay for being born imperfect sinners is that we all die, but as seen above, our enemy death will soon be no more. --"And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away."__Revelation 21:4

I don't believe in Heaven or Hell. I've never seen any actual evidence proving that they're real places. So I say its all a scam to get people to come to church and give money.

To me, my Heaven is what I fantasize about, when I die I will be put into my fantasy to forever live.To have a Hell is null and void to me. For one elses sins are my glory.

Heaven and Hell are real.
The BIBLE says so.
It's one of the doctrines of Jesus Christ and the apostles.
I believe it with all my heart.

Heaven is anywhere God is, Hell is anywhere God isn't
