I will
heaven is any place above the earth
there is no "hell"
biblically the word hell is the word grave. hell was foisted upon us by the roman catholic submission to roman paganism
we will live forever in paradise, here on earth.
evil people will die forever, not be tortured forever
peace
EDIT: oh wait... I was admitting that many of my fellow Christians dont understand heaven or hell, so they de facto dont know if they believe it

There IS a heaven.
There is NO Hell.
(Revelation 20:14) And death and Ha′des were hurled into the lake of fire. This means the second death, the lake of fire.
Hades is Hell...to be done away with...Not a permanent place to torture people.
Hades is associated with death. So when death is done away with...
Rev. 21;4...
so will Hades.
It must be the grave. In the ground or in the sea.
And at the moment we all finish up there.

I believe God and so I know without a doubt that there is a heaven and a hell. Sin will not be in heaven. If you don't get born again here you won't be in heaven and there is no inbetween. Just like there is no inbetween in this life, it is either God or satan.We are owned by one of them because we are spirit beings. Speaking spirits. We create our happenings by what we say. When we speak we dispatch demons or angels to go to work. There is no inbetween.

I'm not sure there is a physical subeteranian place called HELL nor some Garden of Eden called Heaven.
The Bible says the Earth will have a black sky, pestilance, rivers and lakes of fire. That sounds like hell to me.
God will take some, not all, up to a better place. If the EARTH is like that and there is a better place, then that sounds like HEAVEN to ME!

Nope, I won't admit that because I would be lying to you and myself. I know without a doubt that there is a heaven - in fact, there will be multiple heavens, from a lowest to a highest. But even the lowest will be better than earth.
I also know Hell will exist in its time, but not as fire and brimstone - more as a state of mind that you messed up, and now you have to live with other undesireable people while better people have a better existence. We will all dwell within the place we have earned.

I know 100% for an absolute fact that there is a heaven and a hell.
My God said so.
I also know 100% for an absolute fact that I am going to heaven when I die.
I've been forgiven for all my sins through Christ.
I am a child of God, and neither death nor life nor present nor future nor depth nor height can separate me from God's love!
And I am totally psyched about seeing my Father in heaven someday!! God rules! ><>

I wouldn't hold my breath It took me thirty years to see beyond the early misleading indoctrination of my religious youth ....and
outside input over those years was easily rejected by my massive ignorance before my atheistic epiphany occurred and the light of truth flooded my mind with astonishment and cognitive clarity i used to say thank god but now this wouldn't be understood so I simply say thank goodness and throw away the metaphor for lack of understanding maybe we should say gad zukes praise to paradise ...?if there is it will have to be on earth first or the idea of judgment is nay cause if you can't make heaven on earth you'll not be qualified elsewhere that's logic for you even fantasy excepted. hope that discourse helps some
peace-out and enjoy

I'll admit that I haven't been there. But before I became a Christian, I had a vision of Hell in a dream. It was a place that I did not want to spend eternity in. And that was part of what motivated me to become a Christian and to join the Catholic Church.

I don't know for sure but I have faith, i.e. believing in something though I have no proof of its existence. I have faith in heaven and hell.

Wow. You are capable of reading my mind and knowing whether I know something for sure or not? That is either an amazing gift or you have no idea what you are talking about!
