If heaven isnt in outerspace and hell isnt under the earth then where is it?

Answer 1

LOL! Exactly! And just for once when someone asks a question like that, I'd love to hear a Christian go

"Um....I don't know. Hey I never thought of that. Yeah, where are they?????"

But every time I ask a Christian something, they always seem to have an answer. And for some reason that makes me feel like they have less credibility rather than more. Because if for once they said "we don't know" then I'd probably pay more attention to them.

And what are you supposed to do in Heaven all day? Is there day? Does the soul take human form? How do you talk without needing to eat or sleep... What happens when you are reunited with more than one partner? What age are you when you go to heaven? What is the soul?!

And how can you feel the supposed flames of hell if you no longer have a physical form? I have a question list long enough to be printed on a toilet roll. Why do they try to answer all my questions?! No disrespect to Christians, I just find the religion really complicated and I'm still trying to get my head around it.

Answer 2

As opposed to the others, I don't think heaven or hell is in our mind. If they exist, then they are on a different plane of existence. If you have known a bad situation in this life and you have said, "This is Hell!" There is little similarity between that experience and eternal torment in lakes of fire... on any level. Our own (immature as it may be) physical science can prove that there are MANY different dimensions which we coexist with. If you look at quantum physics, there are some principle states of existence that even bring into question our definition of a "plane of existence." If you will forgive my predisposition, I believe that religion and science can be correct at the same time (both, perhaps, in a somewhat offset degree... they can agree.) I believe that heaven and hell are both true, as is physical continuum. The fates exist on a level that is physically beyond our current comprehension, in a different dimension. I could talk for hours about this... the fact that the universe sings a perfect G flat, that the composition of the universe is very similar to the ingredients of chocolate, that the ends of the spectrum are negative and positive (like an electrical charge) and how it all makes so much simple sense. But I don't want to be a bore. I just hope that you understand that the world, the universe, the life around us is so much more than can be put in a neat little box by the popular media.

Both are right here, right now. Most people are in hell. They see everything as separate and opposed, and live in fear of loss. That's why they fight with each other, steal, lie, cheat, decorate themselves up like christmas trees, eat and drink too much, and in general behave unskillfully. Many people actually believe that a supreme being would hold a gun to their heads (the threat of eternal damnation) demanding to be loved and worshiped or else, and then call that free will. And they claim to bow down before such, in spite of the fact they believe this same supreme being created all of this, knowing in advance exactly how it turn out. No wonder they are in hell.

Some people are brave enough to actually look for themselves, and therefore have a chance to really see. A great teacher (Jesus) once said, "The kingdom of heaven is within you." and so is hell. You pick.

Answer 4

First of all, if the world was created by somebody, he has to be "outside" of the world he creates, isnt that true? Then WHERE is he? Is he "under the earth"? Is he in outerspace" Or is there a world , and an OUTSIDE of the world? What do you think? Is "outside of the world" where he is?

Answer 5

Your question assumes that the concepts of heaven and hell represent real places. There's absolutely no reason to believe that our extremely limited concepts are even remotely close to describing what they might be, if anything at all.

Open your mind. The truth is far more profound than little "heaven" and "hell" mentalities.

Answer 6

"Where" is a question relevant only to "stuff"; matter and energy need location. God, the soul, pure spirits are generally not considered as being matter or energy in the way we think of it in the physical (which is to say, measurable) world. Therefore they don't need a "place" to be. One might rather call both a "state" (of being). Theologically, heaven might be described as being with God (who is everywhere and no-"where"); and hell is where God is not. Perhaps the only "location" of hell is the soul/spirit/mind/heart closed to God, who will not violate the person's freedom.

Answer 7

heaven and hell are consepts put forth by the different religions. they are to try to get people to think about the acts they commit in life. to realize that if they lead a life that goes along with the supposed guidelines of our societies that they will go to "heaven" in the afterlife. and that if they disregard what our societies deam as proper behavior and become deviants and do things against what are considered society "norms", cna then lead you to "hell" in the afterlife. it is the sum of ones actions during thier life that decides either heaven or hell. heaven and hell are not physical places per say but more of idealist places.

Answer 8

Those are fairy tales.

There is a spiritual realm that as humans we can't even comprehend. There will be no up or down, do gravity...nothing will be what we can ever comprehend.

The creator of the universe is so awsome that to create this world has to be way way beyond anything we can understand.

Answer 9

Heaven and Hell are right here - On Earth .

Answer 10

heaven and hell are one in the same they are everywhere even in us.the universe is a vast and somewhat confusing place.it comes down to choice,to do good or do evil.I choose to do good and hope that it will spread off on others.
