Great Question !!! Firstly; I am a Christian; therefore, you know where I'm coming from. Heaven is the place which will come down to the earth ( see: Revelation, chapter 21, verses 1-3) ... a "New Heaven and a New Earth", to replace the current earth and heaven, and will be situated on a mountain, ( see: verse 10). Its dimensions [re;"the city of God"] will be 1400 miles long and 1400 miles high ( verse 15). It will have streets of pure gold -100% pure not 99.9999 % pure ... (see verse 21). The walls will be composed of gold and precious stones ( se verse18 - 21 ) . In contrast to this, "Hell" is a mistransalation of the word "hades" which is from the original Greek manuscripts. The mistranslated word "hades", is better rendered "grave". The initial concept of "hell" was invented by the early Egyptians then, reintroduced by the Greek leaders to serve the end of controlling the people with fear. If the people listened to their leaders, they wouldn't be going to "hell". It was plain, old-fashioned fear-mongering! What about the "Lake of fire" written in the Holy Bible ? In some modern day Christianity, there is some bad theology on this topic. This would require very, extensive writing to give the topic any "justice" here. ( One bit of information requires so much elaboration that it leads into another bit of information requiring elaboration, until one finds the answer for the premise of their argument !) Basically; when you read the Bible and let it interpret it self, you find God is in the SAVING BUSINESS for ALL HUMANS ever born ... called part of the GOOD NEWS [Gospel]. God will not execute people, who do not have nor never had, any knowledge of Him, His plan for human kind nor the WAY to arrive there with. GOD [Jesus] is a God of LOVE ... and LOVE provides you with free CHOICE not fear-mongering !!! God wants people to love Him because he /she WANTS to - not HAS to !!! No one can tell me, that God is going to execute people, who never even, heard of Him nor were under some other power from some foreign leader which prevented people from even, learning about Him. Wouldn't this make the "devil" - Satan more powerful than God, Who created him ? The devil would have billions whereas, God would have a few million [may be, at most] . Overall; God is bringing Heaven down to the earth after He has purified the earth by making it NEW because He is HOLY and can not be where sin existed; thus, a NEW heaven and a NEW earth ! A GREAT future for ALL - we ALL WIN in the very END !!! Merry Christmas to all !!!

Yes there is a heaven. I'll know what it looks like when I get there. What about Hell??

Heaven looks like your happy smile with a transparent conscience.
Hell looks like your anger at the loss of your possessions.
The Holy Books show you how to always wear that smile on your face and remove the anger from your heart.

Does anyone ever get out of the Bible hell?
Rev. 20:13, 14, KJ: “The sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell* delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire.” (So the dead will be delivered from hell. Notice also that hell is not the same as the lake of fire but will be cast into the lake of fire.) (*“Hell,” Dy, Kx; “the world of the dead,” TEV; “Hades,” NE, AS, RS, JB, NW.)

Heaven: no one saw it , no one heard about it and no one they know what there are. (This description means it's a very very magnificent place).
Hell: A place which is fully of fire and many scared things.
