are we really on earth just to find out if we go to heaven or hell when we die [and work towards that?]?

Answer 1

Good question.
Why are we put here just to assure we believe in a god, and if we don`t.......?
It doesn`t make sense, but then, religion never did, it is only conjecture, supposition and a load of tripe.

Answer 2

You're actually on the earth to learn not to blaspheme.
Everyone that has been delivered on the earth has been delivered for the purpose of learning not the blaspheme.
The pain and suffering continues to increase because the people still hasn't learn yet.
It amazes me how you people still haven't figured out where hell is located. It's no wonder the bible says that the people are lost.
You people are in hell already, the reason you people are waiting for God's son is so that he may lift you sinners up out of hell.
Have you people not read all of the descriptions of Satan? Not the devil, but Satan?
Combine the people as one, then describe the people>
The descriptions of Satan matches the descriptions of the people (when combined as one).
Only one God, only one mediator, and the people.
The reason you don't see Satan is because the people is Satan. The word Satan is a name.
God has two sons. He locks them both in a chamber up until the one (Christ) overcomes the other son (Satan, which is the people).
The earth and its skies is completely surrounded by heaven. That complete surrounding creates an enclosed space, a chamber

For all of the Bible pros out there ! My love for mankind is that we get this right !
...Semantics are one thing, but ignorance that rules the mind is another !
...Many have been lied to and or fed many errors about going to heaven.! ?
...I will give you a thousand dollars if you can find that in the Bible ! It's not there ! There are some inferences that allude to that but are errors, miss-read or false comprehension ! One is here.. Matt 25:34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom (other places “of heaven”/”of God” much the same!) prepared for you from the foundation of the world: O.K. Lets be fair and understand how we read things into things out of error, our hurry of excited expectations of what we want or taught by previous generations !
...Example , If you were to inherit/receive the bank “of England” what did you get ? England ? No! You inherit the Bank that is “Of England” ! That’s it!
...Another example, If you inherited the ships “of Spain”, what did you get ? Spain? No! You recieve the ships “of Spain”! … O.K. keep that proper context in mind and read all of the scriptures that deal with inheriting/receiving/entering into...the Kingdom “of God/heaven” ...O.K. now we see a problem ! One cannot assume to enter/inherit/receive something that is “OF” something else ! No where does it really tell us we get heaven or God ! What we do get is “the kingdom” that is “OF” heaven or God ! Now we know..! So the Kingdom is what we receive “from” God/heaven ? That is proper comprehension ! Be brave good stewards.. We cannot inherit what we do not understand .. Know THE KINGDOM !
….This is very important ! When Christ returns, HE STAYS !! God also comes here and HE STAYS !! At Christ's return we meet him "HERE" in our heavens on earth ! We then return to earth with him and reign for one thousand years and remain here!.. People do not die twice to be resurrected, however beware of the second death where no one returns !
Who Wrote The Book Of Revelations ?
….The book of Revelations was written by God, see first verse of Rev 1:1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, “which God gave unto him”, to shew unto his servants (followers) things which must shortly come to pass; and he (Christ) sent and signified it by his (Christ’s) angel unto his servant John: 2: Who (did this !) bare record of “the word of God”, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he (John) saw. (John did not write the book !)
Read the last two chapters Rev 21-22 Read slow.. It’s true , we will be home , really !

Answer 4

No, we were created as company for God and he did it so we could bring him pleasure (just the same as we would get pleasure out of something we took the time to create)

There is a choice of the two places to be made in this life, it is a choice but unfortunately hell (the absence of God) is the default destination if you refuse to accept the gift of salvation through Jesus now.

Answer 5

Yup, we're meant to believe that a cosmic jewish zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symobilically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him that he is your master so he can remove all the evil forces from your soul that is present in humanity because a woman who was created from a man's rib was convinced by a talking snake to eat an apple from a magical tree. Makes perfect sence huh?

Answer 6

of course not but the idea of heaven or hell on earth is quite a real metaphor to be reckoned with.

Answer 7

Philosphically I think we are in Hell now of mankinds making
Think about it thre is nothing we cann imagine about hell that has nt been experienced on Earth .
Even today Slavery , child sexual explotation , enforced prostitution , drug addiction , homelessness , alcholism etc etc etc .

Answer 8

No we are like God's angels but He placed us here on earth. Our purpose is to love, glorify and serve Him. People get it all wrong - we don't worship God to saty out of hell. We worship HIm because we love Him and want to spend eternity with HIm. These atheists will never understand that ttype of thinking. They cant see past their own noses.

Answer 9

Jesus had more to say about this life than the next. He came to give us "abundant" life here and now. This life is important for us to grow in the grace and knowledge of God. To contribute to the advancement of the human race if it's just in our little world around us.

Answer 10

I don't know what "we" are here for, but I'm here to consume mass quanities of vodka, food, and vodka and watch satellite TV.
