Hell, Heaven, &.. your perspective?

Question

If God created Heaven.. did he create Hell? Are there any references regarding these two "places" in the Dead Sea Scrolls? If man is destined to die, that means everyone sins, correct? Well, Jesus died.. what was his misdeed? If one walks with the devil (if I do say so myself), is he eligible to turn back around and have his name in The Lamb's Book Of Life? And where is Heaven? ..What is salvation? What is truth? History tells us Jesus is Truth. Okay, that's good notation but what do we do with it? Especially when Dan Brown's making a fortune on enigmatic legends. Especially.. when it all depends on YOUR.. faith? What am I supposed to believe?

Answer 1

God created Heaven and Hell. I don't know if they're referenced in the Scrolls, but they are in the Bible, and that's what counts to me! Death no longer has anything to do with sin. The body must die because of sin, but mankind through obedience to Acts 2:38 doesn't have to be responsible for that sin anymore. Jesus didn't perform any "misdeeds"; His death was meant to allow Him to live within the hearts of souls saved. Yes, those who "walk with the devil" can be saved, but they must be obedient to God's word and have his name written in the Lamb's book of Life. Heaven is above the firmament of the sky. Refer ro the earliest part of the book of Genesis for a good description. Salvation is what man achieves through obedience to God's word and walking in the truth thereafter. Truth is the opposite of lies. You take that truth and use it to oppose any and all sin that would come against you in life, trying to convince you otherwise. You believe in what "thus saith the Lord", study it to understand it, and you'll be fine as you grow and learn.

Answer 2

The scriptures say that God created The heavens and Earth, meaning everything. Man started misusing the english word hell and putting his own meaning to it, Scriptually speaking the word means Grave or the common grave of man. Man was not destined to die in the beginning, only after he rebelled against God's direction did he fall into sin, and then death. Speaking about the first man Adam, Had he chosen not to rebel he could of lived forever. But because he did rebel, he the lost his right to life causing all men to loose the right. The reason Jesus died was not because of sin, but to buy back mans right to live forever if man chooses it. We all have that choice now, if we want to work for it? That requires a little effort. To understand God's veiwpoint you need to study his written word, I suggest you get a bible or two with a word reference in the back, I think you can find this on the net. try bible socities or free bibles.
Salvation is gaining accurate knowledge of scripture that will guide you to the truth of the bible where then you can act upon the knowledge you gained to survive the end of this world as the 24th Chapter of Mathew talks about.
The TRUTH is the accurate knowledge that saves you.Jesus is the truth in the sense that he told the truth and never lied.
You are supposed to believe what The Bible teaches after you have come to a basic knowledge of it, For example John 17:3 states a requirement that is put on all people that want life?
As you see this world, You should know that man will not make it better, If its up to man it will be destroyed. Thats why when you read Mathew 6:9,10 you should know its meaning? See Daniel 2:44 and Revelation 21;3,4 for the answers. If you are looking and asking for the answers don't put your trust in man. Unless he uses scriptures to give you God's thoughts and then it should be with mutlible thoughts. or more than one scripture to support the subject. For example Jesus said at Mathew 5:5 that the mild tempered will inhearet the earth. See Psalms 37:9-11 and 29 Many religions do not teach this. so ask yourself if you want life or to live forever what will you believe? God's Word or man's?

Answer 3

God created heaven and hell.he created hell because the devil wanted 2 be higher n rank than the God. Jesus died 4 our sins because was the per fact sacrifice,he never seined. humans sin all the time when u sin u r posed 2 ask God 4 forgiveness,and turn away frm that sin. salvation is when u ask God n 2 your heart and u mean it. truth is Jesus. it is better 4 u 2 believe n Jesus.
because if u die and u r not a Christian u will spend a eternity n hell. hell is a place where thing happen that i can't explain.
THINK ABOUT IT.

Answer 4

First of all, there is no "if" about God creating Heaven. In chapter 1 of Genesis, it says, " In the beginning, God created the Heavens and the Earth." If you really don't believe that, proceeding is useless. Yes, he created Hell for those who refuse to accept Him as their personal Saviour ? Man is going to die, the body that is. The soul will live forever, either in heaven or Hell, it's your choice where. Yes, Jesus died. For you and me. He was and is sinless, but he became sin, and was separated from His Father for three days, for us. He did no misdeed. He chose to die for you because He loves you, and does not want you to spend eternity in Hell. Read Luke in the New Testament, in the NIV translation, then the entire New Teatament, asking a Bible believing Pastor to explain anything you don't understand. Hope you find your answer. The answer is free for the asking. Ask Jesus to come into your heart, and forgive you of your sins, and really mean it, and the feeling you get will make it so you never have to wonder what to believe.

Answer 5

O~kay, that's a lot of questions. I recommend you talk to your family priest (or equivalent) and/or take a course or two in theology.

You're asking some interesting questions, to be sure! But I'm not sure I follow all your logic at times.

Jesus had no sin of his own, but he took the world's sins into himself so that we could be free from sin. I'm not sure I understand why people must sin in order to die, though.

There are a few references to Heaven and Hell in the Bible, but not many, and they are almost always vague - most of what we 'know' about them has come out of the millennia since the Bible was codified. We really don't know much about them, except that "In the Beginning, God created Heaven and Earth..."

I recommend doing some praying of your own, mainly to have the courage and wisdom and patience needed, then to sit down and read the Bible for a while. Go, find a local priest, minister, rabbi or imam, and ask them these questions. You may find that one church is a perfect fit, or you might struggle with these questions for a while.

One thing is certain - you're human, and you have doubts. That's normal! But you're also interested in finding answers, and that's good.

Good luck and God bless.

Answer 6

Early Christians believed in reincarnation. Like any other Pagans.

Heaven and Hell are non-Biblical ideas coined over the years through art, literature, morality plays, and influential speakers and theologists. The stuff in the Bible is muuuuuch different than what you find in, say, Left Behind. Hell is mainly based on Greek thought and also, Dante's Inferno and other Renaissance works.

Dan Brown is a good storyteller. Not a prophet.

I think the idea of karma makes a whole lot more sense, that bad people are either punished or reborn to work out how to be good.

Answer 7

No one can make u believe anything but Jesus died 4 EVERYONE god created heaven & hell 4 all those people who do not care 2 know jesus yes if a thief can repent u can 2 Dan Brown is going 2 answer 2 God dan is trying to tell everyone jesus had a child by mary magdeline but in the bible it would tell us if he had a child

Answer 8

have you ever considered what the Bible easily says? as an social gathering, hell is the grave. this is not fiery torment for the useless are not to any extent further in a position to experience torture, discomfort, expertise or any works. Eccles. 9:5, 10 shows us this. The Romans scripture reported as being literal, have you ever considered angels, as spirit creatures, do no longer have both bodies or teeth. So how might want to they grind or nash their teeth? What makes you imagine the fireplace is likewise literal? What outcome might want to literal fireplace have on spirit creatures without something that burns? As for heaven, flesh and blood human beings can not enter into heaven. 1Corinthians 15:50 tells us this it appears that evidently. in uncomplicated words a particular variety of human beings will pass there with a particular job to do. Luke 22:28-30 supplies us that job. To be kings and clergymen over "the 12 tribes of Israel". Now does this mean actually the Jews? obviously no. they'd refused the Messiah and can want to presently kill him. No, this can mean Jesus' new flock or organization of committed human beings both in heaven and in the international. a third option maximum all people isn't taught is the earth. Psalms 37:9-11 shows the wicked on earth will die and the meek will inherit the earth continuously interior the abundance of peace. Many different scriptures aspect to the earth as being inhabited continuously with righteous human beings residing the following below God's Kingdom.

Answer 9

jesus was god and human. the only man not to sin and thats why he did not sin at all. I believe that if you are "with the devil" but ask to be forgiven n give urself to god u will be ok. heaven is somewhere we can't know til we die. god might have created hell by sending him down to the earth and the devil made "hell". truth is jesus and jesus is salvation and salvation is the truth and is being saved from your sins and being forgiven to go to heaven and not lose your soul forever.

Answer 10

God created all things. Hell is not so much a place but what happens to the wicked in the end, they are burnt up and consumed by the fire of God.
If one walks with the devil God is powerful enough to help them turn back around if they want him to, he will not help you if you don't want help. He will let you follow the devil if that is your choice, but if you truly want out, he is stronger than the devil and can help get out. the devil is a created being and God isn't.
Where is truth? and what is truth?
Truth is in the Bible.
