Yes there is a real heaven and a real Hell. Satan was an angel who wanted to be higher than God. He and his followers were cast down to Hell.
Because Adam and Eve chose to sin, God let Satan rule the earth. God wants us to chose Him and be with him in Heaven but he wants us to do so by our choice. Satan is against God and wants to win all the souls he can by deceiving us.
If Satan has a stronghold on someone, they will not admit there is a God, they are deceived.
I believe if we are saved when we die, we will be in paradise, not heaven. Based on Jesus on the cross speaking to another that was beside him. The man was sorry for his sins and ask Jesus to remember him. Jesus told him his sins were forgiven and that today, he would be with him in paradise. If you are not saved, you go to hades, a place where you wait to be judged by God.

You won't ever know what happens when you die because you can't die. You are an eternal and indestructable spirit and as humans we vibrate at a different level to spirit forms. This lets us have the human experience in the physical realm. When our time here is done we return to our Creator to look over what we did this time around and to plan what if anything we would still like to experience. Then we do it all over again!
The early Christian church invented hell to keep people under control and to frighten them into converting to their religion. There is no hell unless you you create it for yourself and heaven is what we have when we go home.

Hi,
Its spring here in Valley Forge, PA !!
They'll be out there shining up those cannons, etc..in the park.
Hey, I study in the manuscripts, and they all but cement the details of what will be when Christ returns:
First of all, each and every person will be changed back into their spiritual body, no matter if you are good or bad, all will change.
Christ will usher in a 1000 year period of
teaching and strict disipline to all those who, although are now in the spirit body, still have a soul that is "liable to perish". Those folks will be taught, and it is hoped that many will fall in line and be saved. This is not to say that everyone gets a second chance, but its just that God knows that many don't have the opportunity to find real truth in the flesh - it may be because a church has lied to them, or because they live in an area where they have no access to a teacher of truth - God knows each persons heart, and He will know who needs to be in the classroom.
According to Scripture, we all lived in the last earth age right here on earth, and we will live right here on earth in the eternal age;
under the government of Christ, of course.
No hell comes into play until the great judgement, which does not happen until after the 1000 year teaching period. Then,
those who don't make it, will follow satan into the "Lake of Fire", which is a consuming fire as God is, and this fire destroys not only the spiritual body, but the soul as well. This lake of fire will only exist long enough for those who walk into it, to
"turn to ashes from within"; then, the lake of fire itself is done away with. There is no eternal forever burning like bacon for anyone. The only thing "forever" is the smoke that rises up, up, up forever - (smoke does that - its just an idiom).
Heaven is where God resides, and he is coming here. Look around. You will live
right here, except that the earth will be put back to its original state and nature moans and groans for that to happen.
Thats what the manuscripts say on the subject.

I believe in God, when you do that you believe in a heaven and hell as well. God created them, as he created everything else. Whenever we die we will reach a judgement table and either your name will be in the Book of Life or it will not, if you are not a Christian, you will not be in there. If you are not He will say depart from me I know you not. Then you will be sent to Hell. If youre name is in The Book of Life you make it to Heaven. Only you can control what happens to you after you die.

We can all wonder, but no one knows what happens to our soul, what happens to our body is pretty well known it decomposes over time. As to who invented heaven and hell virtually all religions have some form of afterlife, and like I said we can all believe but know one will no for certain the answer to your last question until they die.

If the brain is what you think with and your mind is who you are then mind and soul should be interchangeable, therefore heaven and hell are states of mind. I have been out of my body but have not had a near death experience. I live a separate and rich life when I am asleep in this world, perhaps I will go there.

I never wonder about it. It's a waste of time and we'll all find out 1 day anyhow.
Heaven and Hell were invented by Bob Abercrombie in 1906 as a joke to impress people at parties.

Everyone wonders what will happen when they die, but the Creator didn't leave us in the dark.
There is a heaven.
Hell is the grave.
God invented everything that exists, including you.
I do hope you find what you are looking for, Hun.
Much love to you, and may God bless you always.

There is no Hell. Heaven is for God and his angels.
