The Bible (the holy word of God that Christians follow) speaks many times about heaven and hell. Jesus mentions heaven and hell several times in the New Testament and prophets of God mention heaven and hell all througout the Old Testament. Christians believe that people go to heaven and hell because this is what the Bible clearly teaches and the Bible is the infallible word of God.

Answer:

I turned them down and told them why. "The church has been lying to us," I said. "They say that all good people will go to heaven. But I have read the Bible, and I am convinced that only 144,000 persons will go to heaven. Other righteous people will live on a paradise earth."-Matthew 5:5; Revelation 14:1, 3.

True Christians don't believe that hell is real.

Our former church members had prophesied that if we became Witnesses, we would die. That was almost 30 years ago. Even if I die now, would it be because I became one of Jehovah's Witnesses? If my wife dies now, can anyone say that it was because she became one of Jehovah's Witnesses?

I have struggled to show my 17 children the way of the truth. Though many of them were adults by the time I became a Witness, I encouraged them to study the Bible and took them to meetings and conventions. It is my joy to have five of them serving Jehovah with me. One serves alongside me as an elder in the congregation. Another is a ministerial servant in a nearby congregation. Two of my children serve as regular pioneers.

When I look back, I marvel at Jehovah's undeserved kindness in helping me become his servant. How true are Jesus' words: "No man can come to me unless the Father, who sent me, draws him"!-John 6:

What is hell how is it What is heaven how is it?

Many Christians believe that Hell is the place where evil-doers and those who did not accept Jesus Christ will go at the end of time. Views on what it is like vary from it simply being a place without God to being a burning pit, where sinners are tormented for their evil deeds; it is also said to be the dwelling place of Satan, the father of lies. (It should be noted that not all Christians believe that non-Christians are condemned to hell, but some Christians do in fact believe this.) Heaven is where Christians believe that those who have been good and led a life in accordance with God's teachings, will go to at the end of time. Some Christians believe only other Christians will go there. Some Christians believe that all people who led a good life will go there. Heaven is the kingdom of God, where God is one with everyone and they are one with God. Christians also believe that Jesus is there, sitting at the right hand of His Father. It is impossible for us to know what Heaven and Hell are really like, but most Christians believe we just have to trust God to make the right choice, in his infinite wisdom, and hope that someone who willingly let his son die for us won't condemn all the good people in the world who aren't believers to Hell.
