is heaven and hell a physical place or a spiritual place?

Answer 1

Its whatever you believe - thats the beauty of it!

Answer 2

Heaven and hell are not "places", they are states of being or conditions. All flesh goes to "hell" which means the place, or status, of the dead.

There are three heavens. 1. the atmosphere where all living creatures abide. 2. outer space, or stratosphere. 3. the place where God's throne is.

So, basically everyone goes to both "places". The question is, are you alive or dead in both places. Since the wages of sin is death, you can't be alive in hell.

Organized religion tells us that God hates most of us and will send us to an ever burning hell. Thankfully, God does not attend those churches, or has any such plans for His creation.

God plans to reconcile (restore to harmony) all of creation. His plan is already in place, and cannot be thwarted. There is physical DNA and spiritual DNA. To the caterpillar it's the end, to the butterfly it's the beginning.

God loves you and there's not a darn thing you can do about it.

Answer 3

While we can indeed experience our own personal heaven and hell physically right here on earth, both heaven and hell are in a spiritual place. To believe or not believe is a choice that each person as an individual have to make for themselves. However, it is my belief that there is a better life and a better place that far exceeds anything that this world has to offer and I plan on living my life accordingly to make sure I get there. Peace and God bless.

Answer 4

Depends, in my opinion, on what you believe Heaven and Hell to be.

You could put a physical aspect on Heaven, as the most glorious meal you ever had, it was heaven.
Also a physical aspect on hell, my visit to the dentist was hell.

However, spiritually, Heaven is a place of many mansions provided by God for those who leave this earthly existence through death. Moreover, Hell is a place that sinners have to endure after death for eternity.

Who is to decide who are sinners, and who are not. It is way beyond my reckoning.

May I suggest we believe in the spiritual, but live for the physical, and enjoy our short lives to the full, but without the need to hurt or harm anyone else, and help others when ever we can, just in case !

Hope this answer helps, but always trust in yourself.

Answer 5

Heaven is a spiritual place. 1 Corinthians 15:50 "However, this I say, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit God's kingdom, neither does corruption inherit incorruption." The flesh is corruptable, therefore cannot exist in heaven. Hell does not exist. The words translated as hell, Sheol and Hades both translated mean the grave, so hell is literally the grave and not some place were we suffer.

Answer 6

If you will take time out to read in the Bible you will learn that they are indeed places of the Spirit, but just as real as though they were physical. Several books in the New Testement as well as in the Old identify these places as being real, yet in the Spiritual sense. When one accepts Christ Jesus as their Savior, they will learn, and should be able to take note of the 'spiritual ' being that they have now become as in 'being filled with His Holy Spirit'. Ephesians makes real the dangers of the evil spiritual world in chpt. 6, which is the last chpt. of that particular book. First Corinthians, tells you about what happens when the Lord will come back, and the spiritual transformation that will take place in the bodies of all of His children. Chpt. 15 I think makes that emphasis. Then there is First Thessalonians, I think, that also tells you many important end times subjects, that of dealing there with the loss of spiritual faith, in Jesus, and for the ones that do know Him that they will be with Him at the time of the Rapture. Revelations tells you about the events to take place when God has allowed for His judgements to come upon the earth. In the Old Testement, you will read of many prophecies that come to life, many at the time of Christ's birth, and also of His Ressurection and death on the cross. Isaiah 53 speaks of the death of Christ on the Cross, as does Ps. 22, though these are prophecies, they deal with both the spirutal and the physical, and yes, hell as well . So both places are equally real, just in the spiritual sense.

Answer 7

I believe heaven and/or hell is what we experience in a physical form here on Earth.
It is our current past/current/future self that creates the different realms.
So you will be born and reborn and reborn into certain physical realms...certain situations that govern whether you are in whichever state...in Buddhism there is no hell or heaven there just "is" your natural state of being which is said to be perfect.

I've personally had many many experiences on travels and situations that could be called heavenly/divine/nirvana...out of this world.

Answer 8

Heaven and hell are religious Beliefs, and do not exist in Spiritual Knowledge.

Answer 9

they are spiritual places. Two people may be walking down the street next to each other one may be in heaven one may be in hell.

Answer 10

According to what is shown us, heaven is another reality, the real one. Our reality is 'artificial' - created.

Hell is a word the KJV uses a lot to generally refer to the grave, the common grave of mankind, Sheol, Hades, or Death.

It does not in that sense refer to a place of torment.

In the KJV Hell or Hell Fire and other such combinations may refer to Gehenna or to the Lake of Fire. What these are is a matter of contention among different denominations.

Still, on my profile my HP gives access to scriptural discussions about the condition of the dead, Hell Fire and other such issues. At the moment, Yahoo editor does not permit me to include these links, sorry.

Answer 11

Heaven is a spiritual place.
Hell [ in Greek...Hades ] is a physical place.
the grave.
(Revelation 20:14) And death and Ha′des were hurled into the lake of fire. This means the second death, the lake of fire.

(Revelation 21:4) And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.”

No death = no graves.
