No. Geology and astonomy tell us that there is no such realm. If there is, and it exists in some otherworldly realm, with really only one, very old, potentially tainted piece of non-scientific work that gives vage details to prove its existence. And at that only if you happen to be born on this side of the world (christian cultures) You require more proof than that for most things you do in day to day life, so perhaps its logical that one might think seriously about the possibilies, rather than the relying on only the strong desire for there to be one. Instead realize its a question of faith, and faith can be described as "believing in something when you know it isn't true" - Mark Twain... when I lose a dear loved one, I WANT to believe that they are in a better, special place, and that I will reunite with them one day. But that doesn't alone make it true, and the bible doesn;t prove to me that it exists. Instead, it tells me I will end up in Hell, to suffer for all eternity, because I dont believe the sole account that one man died and had is corpse resusitated for my "sins", as horrible as they may or may not be. Some christians will tell you this is sad, and you are 'missing out', however, consider the population statistics, science, and the testimony of the truly educated, and you will relalize that Heaven exists right here on EARTH and takes the form of beauty, love and life. And there is no Hell, thats ridiculous

At death, the human spirit leaves the body (Ec. 12:7) and goes either to heaven or hell (Luke 16:22ff). As demonstrated by the rich man and Lazarus (Luke 16:22ff.) and affirmed by Christ when he tells the thief he will be with him in paradise "today" (Luke 23:43) there is immediate conscious existence after death, both in heaven and hell (2 Cor. 5:8; Rev. 6:9-11; Phil. 1:23).
The spirit's departure from the body ends our existence on earth. The physical part of us "sleeps" until the resurrection, while the spiritual part of us relocates to a conscious existence in heaven or hell. (Dan. 12:2-3; 2 Cor. 5:8; Rev. 6:9-11).

Yes I do believe that people go to heaven or hell after they die. Another thing....... Just because someone doesnt believe in hell, doesnt mean they wont go there after death.
for example: Imagine that I kill a person and then i'm caught and brought before the judge. If i tell the judge I dont believe in prison so i'm not going there, what would he say?
He would say, if u believe or dont believe you're going to prison.
So lets not just ignore the fact that there's heaven or hell, but lets make a decision to find out. Speak to a pastor, ask him to explain it to you. Ask God, he'll show you through dreams or visions or through the Bible.
If you wana be ignorant who is it going to affect? It wont affect me. it affects you. so think about it!!!

i think everybody makes their own heaven/hell or whatever they believe in. because if you think about it, if you are christian and believe that there is only heaven and hell, you are the minority in the world. china has the greatest population in the world and most of the people in china are some form of buddhist. they usually believe in reincarnation. the world's most dominant religion is islam, they don't believe in christianity and heaven/hell is a christian belief. so how can God not accept all of these people into heaven just because they call him by a different name or worship him differently? that would just be really mean. so i think everybody has their own heaven or hell. christians have heaven and hell, buddhists have reincarnation, islams have...whatever they have. i think they have some form of heaven too. i believe every person goes to what they believe they will go to. i mean, imagine a buddhist person ending up in heaven with jesus. that would just be weird. or a buddhist person going to hell just because he has no idea who jesus is. that would be really weird too. so people just go wherever they believe. that's what i think anyway. im not asking anyone to agree with me.

How many times have we answered this one?
Ecclesiastes 9: 5 - "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."
If they were going to either place they would have to be conscious to know they were there. The Bible states that they don't know. When you're dead - you're dead. Like the flame of a candle is out, it's not somewhere else, it's just gone.

You do not recieve your reward when you die but at the Second coming. It is then on Judgement day that the saved will go to Heaven and the lost will go to hell

Everyone goes to death when they die, a state of calm and peace. When the rapture comes, those in death who are saved in Christ shall rise and inherit the kingdom of God. All others will then endure the wrath of the anti-Christ and then accept his mark or suffer persecution and die for Christ. Those who refuse the mark and accept Christ, will be saved when Christ comes back to throw Satan into the pit. Those who accepted the mark will dwell for eternity with Satan in the pit.
If you have more questions, visit a Church of Christ and ask a member, they'll be happy to answer.

That's a fair simplification of the Christian belief.
Although those who hold the truth in unrighteousness will have their "day in court" so to speak. They appear before the "Great White Throne Judgment of God" following the 1,000 year reign of Christ upon the earth.
And though Christians "rule and reign" with Christ upon the earth for the 1,000 year Kingdom Age, we go on to inhabit the new heavens and the new earth throughout the ages to come.
So, you could say that, but it requires a bit of clarification.

at some point, but i think that soles are reborn over and over until they accomplish the things they were sent to do but couldnt finish or wouldn't finish. i beleive in god heavan and hell but i beleive in ghosts demans and reincarnation also so i dont think we all go directly to one place or the other sometime i think we get stuck here on earth. Like i think i am an old soul and have lived in many different life times,

Yes. They have a free will choice to ask Jesus to save them & go to Heaven Or to reject Jesus & go to Hell. There is no gray area, Its one or the other. I choose Heaven.
