"And Jehovah God proceeded to form the man out of dust from the ground and to blow into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man came to be a living soul." -- Genesis 2:7
The Bible says that the man is a soul. If you read careful you realize that dust + breath of life = a living soul. So, there's nothing in us that survives after death and we are not immortal. "The soul that is sinning—it itself will die." -- Ezekiel 18:4.
What happens with the soul after it dies? It just decomposes. "In the sweat of your face you will eat bread until you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken. For dust you are and to dust you will return.” -- Genesis 3:19.
"For the living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all, neither do they anymore have wages, because the remembrance of them has been forgotten." -- Ecclesiastes 9:5

Yes they do. If you live your life as if they do, then when you die you discover that they do you have nothing to lose if you are good. But if you live your life thinking that they don't exist and then when you die you discover that they do, then you lose everything especially the salvation of your soul. So it is safer to live as if heaven and hell exist. This way you win your soul and you do not lose anything. Your soul is too precious to lose so it's better if we believe heaven and hell exist, because they do and there is a lot of evidence out there to prove that they do exist. The bible says they do, people have died and lived to witness to the fact that heaven and hell do exist they have been there and have lived to tell us what they saw. They are the ones who have experienced near death experiences or have had heart attacks, died for a few minutes and then were revived by the doctors. Their stories are almost the same so the evidence is clear.

yes to both, if you were to die today do you know where you would go ? you will have to stand before a holy God and account for everything that you have done in life, all the things you have done in secret will be brought into the light. So the only way you can save yourself from the wrath of Hell, is by accepting Jesus Christ as your lord and savior and confess your sins before him. Yes, he knows everything you have done and he wants to have a friendship with you, turn now or regret it forever more !

I went to hell and came back. It's not that bad. We just hung out with the devil.

I don't think so...but many many people need those two sides to live their lives. Be good go to heaven..bad to hell. Many live by it.
