Answer 2

Several things here. First, if the gift of heaven or the punishment of hell were taken away is actually a question Christians should be asking themselves. See, there's more to it than that. I don't know how to say it without sounding extremely cliched, but a relationship with God is something I would want for however long it may last. Second, I do believe the Creation can be explained scientifically, however naive that may sound. Though origin is not an essential discussion and cannot prove or disprove God in any way. Third, you don't need religion to know right from wrong. But you have to separate religion from faith. My question is, how do you know right from wrong?

Answer 3

I most certainly do believe that both Heaven and Hell exist. God's Word makes it very clear to us that both places are real. The best place that I know of in the Word of God to find out what Heaven is like, is in Revelations Chapters 21 & 22. And Hell is described to us as a lake of fire, in Rev. 20:10. And also in Luke 16:19-31, you can get quite a bit of info on what Hell is like. Also, if you are interested, I have a website on the internet where you can go and get copies of free Bible lessons. There are lessons there on Heaven, Hell, the devil, and several other topics from the Word of God. They may help you in your studies. You can download them to your computer. The website address is www.Tracts.com/biblicaltruths.htm. They are free to anyone who chooses to read them.

Answer 4

Yes I believe heaven and hell exist, I cant tell you what heaven is like because personally I have never seen it, but it is said to be more beautiful than the human mind can even begin to imagine,contrary to what people say and describe paradise like on TV its no "hot getaway" & you wont be coming back. I cant tell you what hell looks like either because I havent seen it and to be honest I never want to.Hell is said to have 2 extremes, Hot & Cold. Its no joke contrary to what people today here in America like to make of everything. Hell and Heaven are eternal & when we die its either one or the other. But in the end life is not about being afraid, its about doing the right things & staying true to ones self in all aspects and levels of life.

Hope that helped

Answer 5

Heaven and hell exist to any person that was taught that.
When people die we place them in the ground or cremate them, the body is consumed, now if there is a soul, what ever that is, it may also die or move on to a new born, for I believe we are merely host for the ever living soul that take control of our bodies and then it is up to use to either go with the flow or resist it or control it as best we can

Answer 6

If you are a true believer, you should know that both are exist.
If we repent of our sins and trust Jesus as our Savior, He has promised us a life of fellowship with God in a place the Bible calls heaven. A place with no problems, a place where there are no more tears.

Unfortunately, many haven't heard the good news; others have refused to trust Christ. When people die without Jesus, it's too late to take the offer, and they go to a place of torment the Bible calls hell.

Jesus is calling, "Today you must choose!"
If you delay, you surely will lose;
Listening now, you can hear the Lord's voice,
Take His salvation-make heaven your choice!

Answer 7

One's belief in heaven and hell is based on one's belief in the Holy Bible - the Word of God.

Believing in its existence does not mean that one has already visited and can give a technicolor description of it, although there are some hints in the Bible about both heaven and hell.

Upon death, the Bible says that a person is actually in a deep sleep. That person does not immediately ascend into heaven nor descend into hell.

The Bible says that no man has ever gone into the heavens. Therefore, that is what I believe.

Answer 8

When I answer questions on R&S against the name of God, I feel like Gods monitoring me, keeping track, and having all these get filed up in his giant computer based data information to look at when I die so he can send me straight to Hell.

I really don't believe in God, but for some reason, this place makes me feel like I'm definetly going to go to Hell.

I try not to answer these questions, but I keep getting drawn back here....

Answer 9

I don't believe heaven and hell exist after death. I believe they exist right here on earth - having good health and happiness is heaven and having guilt, stress, anger, hatred, etc. is hell.

I think when we die we simply cease to exist. We don't 'go' anywhere.

Answer 10

Logically, I don't think anything will happen to me after death except for cremation and scattering, heh.

That's not to say that I don't want there to be an afterlife. Heck, I would LOVE to go to Heaven, provided it's not altogether too preachy. Maybe Nirvana and enlightenment would be nicer.

Answer 11

Yes, I believe!!!
As for the other questions, you can ask God or read the bible where Jesus says he is going to prepare a place for us or the part that Jesus also says that in His Father's House are many mansions.
If that is not enough wait until you die.
