Heaven and hell are not places that we can go to and see with our eyes, at least not yet. If we believe they exist then we must base our belief on something other than seeing them with our eyes.
I believe there is a God and that he reveals things to humans, through various methods. One method is to send profets. Through the profets he has sent us mesages telling us that there is a heaven. Since he is the creator of the universe, he should know. As for hell, the common idea of hell as a place where peolpe burn forever is i think a misconception. Rather, the profets say that God will destroy the wicked with fire after the last judgment, but that they will be burnt to ashes. The wages of sin is death, not eternal life in hell.

Yes, Heaven does exist.
"As regards the heavens, to Jehovah the heavens belong,
But the earth he has given to the sons of men." Psalm 115:16
Hell does not exist. Jehovah is a loving God. He has no need to torment people. Those who choose to be wicked will simply be cut-off, destroyed once and for all times. They will not allowed to live on the earth.

I believe in a spirit world, heaven or whatever one wishes to call it, but I don't believe in hell as such and definitely don't believe in the devil. I believe people chose how they want to be, maybe some chose to do horrible things and they go to where they go after their physical death. I don't believe this is 'hell' because I believe if people want to change or repent they can at any time and go onto better places.
I guess what I'm trying to say is, we are the creators of our own destiny, on Earth and after our physical death. Where we go depends on our way of thinking in this life. Just like like attracts like in this life, it does so in the spirit world as well. I don't believe there is heaven and hell and that's it because people can always change and the freedom is there to do that at any time. I'm sure there are nicer places and not so nice places in the spirit world. I once read something along the lines of we build our house in heaven on earth.

Some are taught in church that Hell is a place of suffering where evil souls go and Heaven is where good people go.
This is not a bible teaching:
Did Abraham die and went to a ever-burning hell? Surely idol worshippers would not be in heaven. Yet, Abraham was with his forefathers, Scripture says.
Joshua 24:2 - "Terah, the father of Abraham, and the father of Nachor; and they served other deities," Genesis 15:15. "And you shall go to your fathers".
King David was a righteous king he must of gone to heaven? no?
Acts 2:34 - For David did not ascend into the heavens.
When Lazarus died Jesus spoke to Martha that he was in Heaven? no?
John 11:11 - Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep.
Besides Jesus there must of been some one righteous enough to go to heaven? no?
John 3:13 - No one has ascended into heaven except he who descended from heaven, the Son of Man.
When Jesus kingdom arrives he promised the good will go to heaven. no?
Matthew 5:5 - Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.
Surely people who are holy as saints and priests will rule with Jesus in heaven? no?
Revelation 5:10 - You have made them to be a kingdom and priests to serve our God, and they will reign on the earth."
finally, the second death (from Rev 21:8) is a location for bad people to suffer in a fiery place. no?
Rev 20:14 - And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
-The Second death is a judgment not a location. Jesus is promising that those who are not wicked will be resurrected and never die again.
Verdict: Death is Hell. It's the grave where we are like in a sleep like state but have no conscience thought. Waiting to be brought back to life if we have followed Jesus teachings.

Heaven exists as God's dwelling place.
Hell exists as the grave/burial ground.

i think heaven and hell at the instant are not a place, it truly is a state of existence. i ask your self why there is hollow in proportion. i assume the certainty that decrease human beings have faith in hell advise some human beings DO selective-concept, as hell in lots of cases linked with soreness, eternal hearth, and so on

Heaven is nearness to God. Hell is distance from God.

Nope. No one's ever been there and come back to tell us about it. The Bible tells us how to live our life here on earth in order to make it a better place for all mankind. It tells us we should never make man into a god. It tells us we should never practice human sacrifice. It tells us that God is a just God and would never condemn any of His children to eternal punishment. There is no reference whatsoever to hell in the Hebrew Bible.

I believe that it does because it's in God's Word to us. If there isn't then I've lost nothing by living a life for Christ--but if others are wrong-they've lost their souls for eternity. How sad.
