I think Jesus was a real person. However, like David Kouresh, I think he was just a person leading a cult. Christianity only exists because of the Romans.
Now, is God real - that remains to be seen. I don't think so. I think God is a "comfort" to many - but is there really a God, probably not.
Are heaven and hell real? Well, hell is supposed to be below us - like in the earth - and we all know what is there. Not the devil, or any other demonic creatures.
Heaven is supposed to be a place where we live in eternity getting basically anything we want - but, what I want and what you want are two totally different things. What if I wanted to spend eternity with my wife, but my wife didn't want to spend eternity with me? Who would get their heaven? You see what I mean? It just doesn't work out the way it's all put together.
No one really knows - nor will they ever know (even priests and reverends) that there is a hell, heaven, or otherwise.
I believe that, when you die, you either just go away - nothing happens, you just die. Or, what I like to believe is that you are reincarnated. I think that this is explained in De ja vous - when you remember seeing a place when it's the first time you've been there - but you could swear you've been there before - it happens rarely - but I think that it could mean that you may have been there in a previous lifetime - that's what I like to believe, anyway.

My friend, you will never be convinced about which God is real until you expierience it for yourself. All I can say is I know that Jesus is real, and is the Son of God, and the savior of mankind.
Christianity is based on faith. If you have no faith in it, God will never become real to you until you die and realize he was. But then... it's too late.
Pray, read a Bible, Go to a church. Give it a change. If Jesus doesn't work, you can have all of your sins back.

HELL
The Word SHEOL in the Old Testament Is translated "HELL" 65 Times, Not translated "Hell" 31Times. In the KJV it is 34 times translated “Hell” (poor translation due to religious motives).
In most cases, the KJV translators puts the wicked in "Hell" and the just in the grave. God put them all in one place, the grave [Sheol]. Almost all other translations have removed "Hell," from the Old Testament [ASV, NASV, RSV, NRSV, NIV and most others] but as long as the KJV and NKJV are used, those who are new in Christ and those who still need milk and not solid food will be misled by them.
SHEOL in the Old Testament: Used in the Old Testament 65 times, translated “GRAVE” 31 times, translated “PIT” 3 times, translated “HELL” 31 times
HADES in the New Testament: 11 times - translated "Hell", 10 times - not translated "Hell", 1 time in the King James Version
GEHENNA in The New Testament: used on 5 occasions by Christ, And 1 time by James, Translated "Hell" in the King James Version
TARTARUS: Used 1-time in 2 Pet 2:4 and translated “HELL” in KJV
To translate Gehenna, Hades, or Tartarus into "Hell," is a total perversion of the truth; and is an intentional mistranslation. If we use it or teach it, can there be any hope for us? "Hell" is a very different Gospel [Galatians 1:9]. It is certainty more different than anything that was preached in Paul's time.
Hell is man made not biblical.

The only way to know for sure is to die. Other than that people can have faith. What is real? That is a good question, not much.
God can not be proven with scientific facts. The key to all of it is faith. Learn about the different religions and decide for yourself which you believe in. Each person believes their religion is correct (or why would they have that religion) but that doesn't mean that every other religion is "wrong".

You have to decide this for yourself. There is no conclusive proof that either place exists nor that they do not exist. I feel they are unlikely to exist as real places but others base their whole lives on waiting to get into one and/or avoiding the other. I think it is possible to live a good and happy life without belief in heaven and hell or supernatural beings. You should figure this one out on your own although they will be plenty of people who will be happy to tell you what to believe.

Heaven and Hell are real places. Heaven is where God and His children (those who believe in Jesus for salvation) dwell forever. Those who did not believe go to eternal punishment. Heaven rules!!!! My sister is there now.

They are both very real. And just because the bible says it is so, it is so. The bible is the true and written word of God.
You can believe it or not. If I am wrong, I've lost nothing by believing.
However, if you are wrong, and I am right, you've lost everything and your soul will spend an eternity in hell. Be very careful before making your choice. Your eternity depends on it.

do u believe in trucks? if i said "no, there is no such thing as a tractor trailer" and then what would happen if i stood out in the middle of the highway? our beliefs do not change reality.. reality is heaven is real..and so is hell, which is a place of eternal punishment and suffering...everyone on earth deserves hell and death because they have broken Gods law..i would suggest that u get clear on your belief because it is a matter of where u will spend eternity...heaven?..or hell? http://www.wayofthemaster.com/interviewwithgod.shtml

What is true for you is what you have found to be true. Everyone should have the right to believe in whatever religion, whichever faith they feel is right. That is your choice. Personally, I don't think it is real, but I am not a Christian. I am a Scientologist.
