They are both very real, Our Lord Jesus Christ mentions hell specifically, by name, 13 times in the New Testament and refers to it numerous times by other names. In St. Matthew, He specifically mentions "your whole body be[ing]
thrown into hell, several times, and going to hell, or being thrown into hell numerous times.
Further information:
Please be very careful about thinking that we die and all go to heaven. Our Blessed Lord was very clear about this, and indicated many times both the reality of hell, and the fact that most people go there. See Matthew 7:13-14:
"Enter by the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is easy, that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard, that leads to life, and those who find it are few." (RSV CE)
yes, heaven, hell, and God is real
Heaven and hell are places, destinations. They cannot complain but must just exist.
When the notion of heaven and hell was being developed, they were assumed to be physical places, with heaven just above the sky. Gradually it was perceived that hell was a place of eternal fires, searing the souls condemned to hell.Science has shown that heaven and hell can not be located in any physical location in the universe. Religion has therefore adapted by saying that heaven and hell are not actually physical places, but spiritual states of being. If heaven is no longer a physical place, then the gates of heaven are not physical realities. If recent religious belief is true, then the dead can not suffer from heat, cold, pain, hunger or any other physical form of punishment. So why would there be flames in hell?
It is a myth
Heaven is a much beautiful place than the world. Heaven is where all your dreams and wishes come true...but be careful..it is very hard to get into heaven.....remember this world is a test...whatever we do in this world will decide on the day of judgment whether we are granted heaven or hell ... so yes of course heaven is real....read about Islam and what it says about heaven...i am 100% sure you will have your answer. :)
The reason does not matter, you will go to hell if you commit suicide. That is if you believe in hell or heaven, that's just the Church's rules.
You can in heaven but not in hell
To Heaven from Hell was created in 1997.
OpinionThe second part of this question implies that heaven and hell are real. If they are, then they, or at least the powers that control them, are so powerful that they surely would not need us.so, do we need heaven or hell. Perhaps religious leaders do, because the promise or threat of one or the other is what is supposed to keep us in line as obedient Christians, Muslims or Jews.
There is a heaven, but it's above space or higher. Some religions say there's a hell, but in my religion (Jehovah's Witnesses) we believe there isn't a hell where bad people go when they die. We believe hell is just mankind's grave. It all depends on what you believe and who you ask.
Yes, Christians believe in heaven and hell.
Hell is a concept in the Christian and Islamic religions, but not in Judaism. For Christians and Muslims, the unsaved do burn in hell forever. Jews believe that they merely lose out from going to heaven. Another point of view is that neither heaven nor hell is real. Hell is therefore not an eternal place and there is no punishment in the afterlife.
