Is there hell and heaven?

Answer 1

YOU MAKE YOURSELF WHETHER IT IS HEAVEN OR HELL.

Answer 2

Hell and heaven are only in the Mind. There is no such separate place as hell and heaven. The tormenting thought process we suffer can be termed as hell. Ennobling and elevating thoughts gives you joy. It is written in the religious scriptures that we will suffer for the misdeeds in hell and enjoy pleasures in heaven when we do good and noble deeds. If you deeply think, all the sufferings and enjoyments are through the judgements of mind only. A saint will accept all conditions as good for evolvement of the soul whereas human beings resist unfavourable conditions. The above conditions are cognized as such by the mind only. Hence mind is both hell and heaven according to the particular thoughts-nagarajan.

Answer 3

Yes, The 1st Heaven is a place made of Living Water. The 2nd Heaven is made from Darkness, Light separates the 1st and 2nd heaven.

There are 9 levels in Heaven, the 1st being God's Throne, and the least being the fiery pit. between these are 4 levels of the 1st heaven, followed by the Garth, then Paradise, the Gulf, the Universe, followed by purgatory.

Answer 4

We have the greatness to create the Heaven; Materialistic life is Hell; We should know that we are souls, children of god. We should start practising the same. Remember that the person next to you and yourself as Children of God; And then anlalyse how to treat other people. This world is the real heaven.

Answer 5

We believe in Paradise and Hell. Paradise is the abode of enjoyment which God, the Exalted, prepared for the righteous. The blessing they enjoy there, no eye has ever seen, no ear has ever heard of, and no human being has ever imagined: "No soul knows what comfort is kept hidden for them, as a reward for that which they used to do." (32:17) Hell is the abode of punishment which God has prepared for the unbelievers and the evildoers. The torture and horror in it cannot be imagined

without it, God would not be the Just and Wise and merciful God He is. God created men and made them responsible for their actions; some behaved well but others did not. If there is no future life in which the virtuous are rewarded and the vicious are punished, there would be no justice and the creation of men in that way and the sending of Prophets to them would be to no purpose at all. But this kind of behaviour is not expected of a man known to be rational and just, let alone the Perfect Creator.



Without belief in this Day on which everyone will receive his just deserts (when the wrongdoers are justly punished and the righteous are rewarded bountifully), man would lose the impetus to behave fairly towards others and the oppressed would grow hopeless and miserable.

Belief in the Hereafter is an essential element that helps to control human delinquency and establish collective happiness and virtues in society.

Answer 6

The Bible describes three hells.

SHEOL OR HADES, THE FIRST HELL
The first term in Greek and Hebrew means the grave. It's the grave where the dead await the resurrection.
GENESIS 37:35---I SHALL GO DOWN INTO THE GRAVE.
PROVERBS 15:11--HELL & DESTRUCTION ARE BEFORE THE LORD.
ECCLES.9:10---NO WORK...OR KNOWLEDGE...IN THE GRAVE,
MATT.11:23---WILL BE BROUGHT DOWN TO HADES
1COR.15:55---O HADES, WHERE IS YOUR VICTORY

GEHENNA, THE SECOND HELL
The second term in New Testament means the place of fiery destruction of the wicked.
MATT.5:22--...BE IN DANGER OF HELL FIRE
MATT.10:28--TO DESTROY BOTH BODY AND SOUL IN HELL

TARTAROO, THE THIRD HELL
This third term is only used once and refers to the place of restraint where the demon spirits were placed following the rebellion against God.
2PETER 2:4---BUT CAST THEM DOWN TO HELL.

THE THREE HEAVENS
There's 3 heavens.

First Heaven = This is also called the firmament or expanse of heaven. It is the heaven where the birds fly and where the clouds give rain. (Gen.1:26; 2:20; 8:2 & 1Kings 18:45)

Second Heaven = This refers to outerspace where the sun, moon and stars can be found. (Gen.22:17 & Exodus 32:13 & Joshua 10:13)

Third Heaven = The Apostle Paul tells us that the heaven of God's abode is the "third heaven." In the Old Testament this is often designated by the phrase "the heaven of heavens." (Joshua 2:11 & Psalms 11:4 & 2Corinthians 12:2 equated with v.4 = paradise)

THERE ARE TWO KINGDOMS: ONE ON EARTH AND THE OTHER ONE COMING DOWN FROM HEAVEN.

The 1st Kingdom of Heaven =
DAN.7:27 = "AND THE KINGDOM AND DOMINION, AND THE GREATNESS OF THE KINGDOM UNDER THE WHOLE HEAVEN, SHALL BE GIVEN TO THE PEOPLE OF THE SAINTS OF THE MOST HIGH, WHOSE KINGDOM IS AN EVERLASTING KINGDOM, AND ALL DOMINION SHALL SERVE AND OBEY HIM."
REV.5:10 = "AND HAST MADE US UNTO OUR GOD KINGS AND PRIESTS: AND WE SHALL REIGN ON THE EARTH."

The 2nd kingdom of Heaven =
AFTER 1,000 YEARS = A NEW HEAVEN AND NEW EARTH-HOLY CITY COMING DOWN FROM HEAVEN = REV.21:1-4; ISAIAH 65:17-25; 66:1,22 AND ETC.

SO HERE'S WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO---
ISAIAH 66:21; ZECH.14:9-11 = "BUILD HOUSES, PLANT VINEYARDS, EAT VINEYARDS"
ISAIAH 66:23; ZECH.14:16-19 = "WORSHIP FROM ONE NEW MOON TO ANOTHER AS ONE SABBATH TO ANOTHER"
JESUS WILL BE GIVING CITIES TO THE SAINTS INWHICH THEY WILL BE TEACHING OTHERS THE TRUE MESSAGE OF THE BIBLE = MATT.25:14-23; EZEKIEL 36:10,33; LUKE 13:26; ISAIAH 61:4
WE WON'T MARRY OR BE GIVEN UNTO MARRIAGE = MATT.22:30
BOYS AND GIRLS WILL BE PLAYING IN THE STREETS = ZECHARIAH 8:4-5,8
MEEK SHALL INHERIT THE EARTH = PSALM 37:9-11; MATT.5:5; REV.5:10

Answer 7

It is a concept as in doing wrong deeds you will go to hell and doing good things you would go to heaven. Over years, it finally got more and more distorted, with visual imaginations of hell and heaven, of hell being full of fire and demons, and heaven being full of angels and god. Dont know if it is true, but mostly, it is to symbolise bad and good deeds. When no one knows what happens after we die, I assume there is an after life, but of hell and heaven being there, if you cut out all the imaginary concepts of it, the basic philosophy is when you do bad deeds you go to hell, as in, it gets back at you one day or the other, and when one suffers the deeds done by oneself, it is like ''hell'' isnt it ? Like as in suffering, emotional trauma, physical ailments...anything..And when we do good deeds, and if things do turn out good and beautiful for us, then it would be heaven, as in having a good family, surrounded with people who loves you and cares for you....Its the concept I believe in, not the visual imaginations of hell and heaven.

Answer 8

Yes both the heaven and hell is there.. But Hell is not eternally burning as many believe...Visit the links below...

Answer 9

The concept of heaven and hell have been expanded upon by man though the ages. Much of the bible speaks figuratively and I doubt our concepts are even close to right.

Heaven is being in the eternal presence of God, hell is seperation from God. If you do not choose to be near God in the present, he will not force you to be near him in the future.

Answer 10

Islam believes in hell/heaven: Day of judgement, accountability, punishment in hell for sinners and reward in heaven for pious.

Christians' sins are cleaned with the blood of Jesus Christ, hence only heaven for them and no hell. No storage/recording of Christians' sins. Hence hurry!!!!

No concept of hell/heaven in Hinduism: thousands rebirths in different species till Moksha (perfection) by worships & prayers ie. honestly doing the jobs of their castes, born wherein by nature, and nothing else.

Answer 11

Yes. The Bible tells us there is a heaven and a hell.
