Why do we have to go to heaven or hell? What if we dont wanna have an after life and we wanna just live on earth and then die and not go anywhere else? Cause I dont wanna die, and then go back to earth later (re-incarnation) and come back to this $#!T#0L3. So if I ask god if I can just not go anywhere and have my spirit die also then will he listen or will he make me choose to go to heaven or hell?

Seriously, do we have to go to either? Im pretty sure heaven wont be the same if people you love arent there.

For those of you who are planning on saying "go to hell then", I dont want either.

Right on! Maybe while the fish-mongers are haggling over your soul, you can slip out the back door...

It is clear that we have free will and God will not interfere. When we are in spirit, we still have that. We may do whatever we choose. I know today though that I do not know in body all that I know in spirit. I may feel entirely different after I have all the information. If I were in your shoes, and I do feel how you do often, I just live today to the best of my ability. Why worry about something you have no control over, I mean the death of our human cages. Death of what connects us to earth is part of the natural order of life. You are only aware of what happens in this plane of existance. Learn everything you can, because the earth is where we learn the easiest, and let go of what you cannot control today. btw: the only thing you have control of is you, nothing else.
May Peace be with you

Your supposition is from the standpoint of a belief in heaven or hell, or a questioning of those beliefs.
Let's say you don't want either but worry(are concerned) that you may have no choice in the matter. Would it be wise to choose the lesser of the two unwanted alternatives(heaven) just in case there is room in hell?

There IS a heaven and there IS a hell. You will go to either one or the other.
Hell is eternal torture
Heaven is eternal bliss
God made us as eternal beings...your spirit will definitly go to one place or the other. This is not your choice but Gods...
Sure way to get to hell: Reject Jesus Christ as your savior
Sure way to get to heaven: Accept Jesus Christ as your savior.
The bible tells us how to get to heaven...
That Jesus came to us born to a virgin, he died on the cross, sacrificing himself for us to open heaven for us, then he arose three days later. (the ressurrection) Jesus is God. Then you believe this with all your heart.
The bible says,
"If you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord" and you believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, YOU WILL BE SAVED! You have to mean it though and dedicate your life to following Jesus....
In heaven we become new creatures, with new bodies. There will be no crying, no sadness, no worry and no sickness in heaven.
If a loved one is not there, we most likely will either not know or not care because there will only be joy in heaven.
And you are willing to miss this to live on earth? The earth will eventually be destroyed. In the Book of Revelation it tells us "there will be a new heaven and a new earth, as the old heaven and the old earth will pass away. Then Jesus will be our light, and will reighn forever.
You REALLY don't want to miss this!!

Because now you have a say as to what happens it is called "FREE WILL" . GOD gave to you (the spirit that dwells within you) only to use as long as you are a part mankind. This is true as long as you remain in the body(The body he createded). The spirit of GOD never dies, so for you to ask GOD to let a part of him just lie in a hole in the ground and never revert back to anything is like pouring water on the ground and expecting it not never to return to a stream or to the air. I hope you find the answer you seek ( seek and you shall find). Don't be afraid to die, GOD is forgiving and JUST.

This is the thing... if you believe there is no afterlife, that sort of throws you in the atheist catagory. If you believe in an afterlife, that makes you very spiritual. If you believe in Heaven and Hell, that makes you religious. So, all this might be entering your mind, because fundamentally your religious beliefs might be changing.
I believe there is an afterlife, but you don't get a choice on coming back. We are all kinetic energy inside... basically we melt down to a soul. Energy doesn't die or go away and it can't stop its self from going. So, when you die from this life, your spirit will just go to the next life. I won't be thinking about how awful this place is. You will be reborn into another body and forget how annoyed you were!
I have resigned myself to coming back. Life is hard for some, but keep in mind it's wonderful for others. There are people who love their families, friends AND aquaintences. There are people who don't. It is all up to you. Life is about choices. Make the best ones and awful will turn into fabulous.

Imagine a very scary and rough ride, rough on imagination and ways of earning the everyday life. After a while a very brave person goes tough and then oblivious, to become impervious to necesity and suffering, this is evolution. The ride is so intense it lasts only 13 minutes yet it seems to the eager and very brave mind to be a hundred years. So people have to see beyond their years and realize there are other games in the park and after this particular ride the others will be more amusing and less of a burden to senses. You will want that kfc popcorn, the decision has been taken and you will not dissapoint your girl or mates accompanying you. Betcha.

Your question is confusing. You don't have to come back to this earth later to go to heaven or hell. You might go to the new earth, but it will be different.

To be perfectly blunt, if you are offered Heaven you will want to choose it. Even if all your loved ones are in Hell, you will be given the opportunity to experience God's love directly, unfiltered. And the emptiness you may feel as a result of your loved ones' absence will pale in comparison.

Your question/comments are ignorance gone to seed! You nor I have a choice in those things. You either choose "life and blessings" or "death and curses" and it is now and for eternity. You didn't create your spirit or your soul or body and you don't have a choice to just annihilate yourself.
Since the absurd reasoning's regarding our beginnings being from "nothing" and evolving into something, many people have no clue of their origins being from an eternal Creator, so their further deductions are even more absurd.
So the mind, will and emotions are somehow disconnected from their spirit. God had an original intent and purpose for each one of us and the beginning of it is to "love God and then love ourselves". To discover your God-given purpose and place and destiny in this earth and to BE a blessing to someone or many others IS what life is all about. Flesh gratification ISN'T happiness. I certainly hope you find what is your place of happiness and it ISN'T death! Who stole your hopes and dreams?

What if Heaven is life on Earth without the sorrow and fear? You need to learn why you don't want to be. You could be the answer for someone else.
