People usually refer to the after life when speaking about heaven and hell, it seems that there is a heaven and hell on earth.

I think so. Heaven and hell, both on earth and afterlife, are states of mind created by our actions/the future.
Everyone goes through heaven and hell, but hell is not eternal. Everyone needs to go through hell at least once in their life in order to fully appreciate the wonders of heaven. Otherwise, heaven may be taken for granted.

You should go to Blueletterbible.org and look up the word Hell. There are two translations if I remember correctly. One is like a holding cell where people suffer while they await God's judgment. Then there is a place that people are sent to at the great white throne judgement in revelation. These are two different places I believe, but don't quote me on it. Heavens in the bible is two places also. Heavens mostly refer to the stars in the sky, but there is another heaven in which God Dwells that is not of this earth. So... yes and no...

I was always told heaven and hell is here on earth and in a sense life is what you make of it. But the true heaven and hell are different then earth in this life. Go in Christ

I disagree. No matter how good you might think you have it on earth, it cannot compare with the glories of heaven. No matter how bad you may think you have it on earth, it cannot compare with the horror of hell.
1Corinthians2:9 says "However, as it is written: No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him". 1) "no eye hath seen": I've seen a lot of beautiful places on this earth but this verse says that none compare with heaven. 2)no ear has heard: I've heard a lot of stories of shangra-la type places but none compare with heaven. 3)no mind has conceived: Go home lay on your bed and try to imagine what paradise would be like if you were given the power to create it the way you wanted it. This verse says that your final product would fall short of how good heaven really is.
Going in the other direction Hebrews 10:31 says " It is a terrifying thing to fall into the hands of the living God". I've heard people say "I want to go to hell.....me and my friends are going to have an eternally good time there". Those people just don't have a clue what they are saying.

Heaven on Earth/Heaven for Eternity: A relationship with God.
Hell on Earth/Hell for Eternity: No relationship with God.

There will be heaven on earth when Jesus comes again. There will be a new heaven & earth when the Millenium ends. Hell is in the abyss of the earth-that's right down there. Don't u know he earth's core is all fire?

Yes, I am God's Strength and wherever I am Heaven is usually in my range of the atmosphere. Hell is the bad vibes I feel from people.

Saints already experience heaven when on earth, and people deeply tormented by demons and/or by their own sins already experience hell on earth.
