Answer 1

Put your faith in the lord.

Answer 2

Well, be a good person and be careful who you follow in life. Following the WRONG person can get you into trouble.

If you were given a choice.

Going to a place where you were naked, and everyone was naked and there were no cars, microwave ovens, TV sets but you have clean air to breath, clean water to drink, nice food from the natural environment but you didn't live in a house, have an Ipod or a computer what would you take, THAT or the STATUS QUO on EARTH.

You're choice.

Free WILL

Answer 3

Hell occurs 1000 years after the second advent. You will not go anywhere when you die. YOu stay non existent until you are re created at one ot the two main resurections either at the second advent or 1000 years later.

To avoid ending up in hell and then being killed by the fires of hell, you can ask God to forgive your sins, repent and be sorry, ask Him into your life to help you with everything you do and everything you experience. Ask Him to save you. Ask to follow Him in all that you do. Maintain your relationship with Him and learn what He wants you to do by reading the Bible and loving others and praying to Him for protection against evil.

Answer 4

The only hell is the one that we create for ourselves. The human soul is a divine being that comes into incarnation to learn the laws of right human relationships and to unfold the inner powers of the soul.It is only some of the very and deeply evil men who end up in hell to work out the balance of their karma which may take untold ages to work out.It is through the laws of karma that we all work out our evil ways and get back on track of evolving out our true nature as souls.Even some of the worlds most evil beings will ,after many eons they will be given a chance to amend there evil ways through out the long way of evolution.

Answer 5

Yes it is a real place, originally meant for satan and his demons.
You keep from going there by living the life that God wants you to live here on earth.

You are not your own, you were bought at a great price.1 Corinthians 6:19-20

This totally goes against our modern thinking where you are taught that YOU can achieve anything YOU want to, "If it is to be, it's up to ME." "I am the master of my destiny.""Be your own boss."
We make ourselves as gods pretending that we are in control.
It contradicts the Lord's prayer where it says "...Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven" "Thy will" means God's will.

We must ask for the forgiveness of God, turn away from sin
(hard thing to do) and persevere until the end.
He who would find God must accept discipline...Sirach
Chapter 32
Only then can we ask God what his will is for you while you are here on earth.
Many go to hell when they die because nothing clean can enter heaven.

Our Lord tells us: "The gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard, that leads to life, and those who find it are few."Matt.7:13, 14.

Doesn't this go contrary to our liberal thinkers of today?
We won't go to heaven just because we would like to, we have to go by the narrow path, a path of prayer and sacrifice, not a path of presumption and feel-good materialism.

Repent, be baptized in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost, live the life of prayer, be a Christian until you die.

It is a spiritual marathon that you will have to run, on the other side of that finish line is your reward (heaven), because on this side your earthly rewards do not count.

Answer 6

Why are you asking the question when you apparently have the information right there. Of course the real question should be do you believe in god or not. If you believe that that url would follow. If you don't, You don't follow that url.

Answer 7

Hell is indeeed a real palce. It's also called the lake of fire. To keep from going there when you die, all you have to do is accept Jesus Christ, son of God, as your Lord and Savior! That means, acknowledge that you realize He has saved you from your sins, and that you will let Him be Lord of your life.

Answer 8

Rom. 6:7: “He who has died has been acquitted from his sin.”

The Hebrew she’ohl′ and its Greek equivalent hai′des, which refer, not to an individual burial place, but to the common grave of dead mankind; also the Greek ge′en·na, which is used as a symbol of eternal destruction are often mistranslated by the churches as a "hell" - using ancient pagan rituals to label it fiery torment.

Answer 9

There are two places called Hell. One is in Norway, and the other in MIchigan.

Answer 10

YES I believe it is, to prevent this the best answer I can give is to read the book of ROMANS chapter 8, it contains the SIMPLE TRUTH and all you have to do is ASK to be saved. that's how the word came into use and why it is called a gift, Hope to see you there,Mark

Answer 11
