If hell is hot does that mean heaven is cold?

Answer 1

Previous Answer:

An answer would really be assuming too much seeing that we have never been told that heaven is actually hovering there over the earth or that hell is hanging out beneath it. There are thousands of known galaxies out there. There is nothing saying that either one would even be in ours, if they are in fact they are even actual physical places.

Second Answer:

What no one seems to realise is that the whole 'heat rises to the top' thing would have no place in space, where there is no 'top', no 'up'. The heat we have on Earth is due to the presence of our Sun.

Logically, then, Heaven must be far enough from our Sun, or another star like it, to maintain a comfortable temperature--what, with it being a 'perfect' place and all that. Thus, Hell is likely too close to one such star--possibly inside it--enough so that it is perpetually hot and 'full of fire', or some such.

However, this sort of question may only be answered in speculation.

Answer 2

If New York is big, does that mean Los Angeles is small?

No one knows if there is a hell, much less if its hot. Same goes for heaven. As archetypal figures, there is no reference of heaven being "cold".

The thermodynamics of the afterlife are open to question in every religion. In the Greek afterlife there was neither a heaven nor hell just a misty dull existence, Asian hells are hot, cold, wet and other nasty things, The Christian Hell as described by Dante has hot, cold and generally painful areas depending on your transgressions.
