Are Heaven and Hell places on Earth?

Answer 1

Some are of opinion that heaven is everywhere, as God is everywhere. According to this view the blessed can move about freely in every part of the universe, and still remain with God and see everywhere. Everywhere, too, they remain with Christ (in His sacred Humanity) and with the saints and the angels. For, according to the advocates of this opinion, the spatial distances of this world must no longer impede the mutual intercourse of blessed.In general, however, theologians deem more appropriate that there should be a special and glorious abode, in which the blessed have their peculiar home and where they usually abide, even though they be free to go about in this world. For the surroundings in the midst of which the blessed have their dwelling must be in accordance with their happy state; and the internal union of charity which joins them in affection must find its outward expression in community of habitation. At the end of the world, the earth together with the celestial bodies will be gloriously transformed into a part of the dwelling-place of the blessed (Apoc., xxi). Hence there seems to be no sufficient reason for attributing a metaphorical sense to those numerous utterances of the Bible which suggest a definite dwelling-place of the blessed.

Theologians, therefore, generally hold that the heaven of the blessed is a special place with definite limits. Naturally, this place is held to exist, not within the earth, but, in accordance with the expressions of Scripture, without and beyond its limits. All further details regarding its locality are quite uncertain. The Church has decided nothing on this subject.

Answer 2

Presently there are 3 levels of Heaven. 1st level is the atmosphere, the air, which is why satan is called the prince of the air. 2nd level is space. 3rd level is the universe. The 3rd heaven is where our spirits go after we die if we are in Christ. After Jesus Second Coming, God brings Heaven, the New Jerusalem down to earth which Jesus restores, refurbishes, renews. Jesus reigns and rules in this New Jerusalem on renewed Earth = Heaven. Presently hell is somewhere other than Heaven or earth and will be cast into the Lake of Fire after the Great White Throne Judgment, along with satan and anyone who refused Jesus and His salvation for us. Hope this helps

Answer 4

set up countries into being like-minded communities. The Christians can all stay mutually in one, Jews have theirs, Muslims have one, pagans have one, atheists, Buddhists, etc and then each and each united states can choose a representative for while peacekeeping conventions are held. No united states can tell the different what to do, as long as regulations of benevolence are observed. ability conflict I see is devil-worshippers conflicting with Jews because of the fact the devil-worshippers (to no longer be puzzled with Satanists because of the fact i'm unaware if this is area of that usual faith or no longer-yet you get the element) will think of any ol sort of animal sacrifice is advantageous i think of this is incorrect to think of that everybody can stick to a similar religon and be happy. you won't be able to make a zebra be a horse, they're in basic terms slightly diverse. There are categories of animals, categories of people. I see religious/societal enterprise because of the fact the main necessary ingredient in a appropriate international.

I think hell was a place in ancient Judea where gentile bodies were cremated. The kingdom of heaven is within, as almost every tradition teaches.

Answer 6

Metaphorically speaking, humans make their own hell or heaven on earth.

So let's improve the prospects of humanity, help to stop poverty and disease, human slavery, and the oppression of women and children.

Wow, people voted this down? What's wrong with doing something good for human beings now, instead of waiting for some religious torture sentence?

Answer 7

Answer 9

Heaven is up there, while Hell is a notion created by the Catholic church to scare it's followers into submission in the Dark Ages. I believe God said in the beginning that because man sins, he will die. The ultimate price for sin, is in fact death. Once you die, you will pay off your sins. Ashes to ASHES and dust to DUST, not to a place of torment. God does not sell his children to his enemy.
