• No. So take your pick. Only you can decide what you should believe.

• Yes. Heaven and hell are real.
• Face it people, heaven and hell are not real!!!
• It's up to you if you believe. If you believe in Heaven, then you believe in Hell. Heaven is a reward you get for doing your deeds on Earth. Hell is when you do bad deeds on Earth.
• Muslims, Jews and Christians believe it is. The Bible talks about it being real and Mother Mary appeared to Lucia at Medjugorje. Mary showed Lucia and her two cousins what Hell was like. She also told of Heaven and eternal life with God. So yes, I believe Heaven and Hell are real.

i think when you die your spirit flows away and you are the spirit and you can do whatever you want and met all your friends and family again that have died in the past so i think heaven does exist if you believe in it where you go when your spirit flows away yes.

Probably not in the classical sense of physical torture or bliss.

More likely the afterlife is what you make it.

Hold onto material things, think evil thoughts and you are more likely to make your own hell.

Open your mind to spiritual thoughts and be pure in mind and you are more likely to experience wonderful things.

//Whether people want to believe or not, the bible holds up quite well when tested scientifically. Many of the bible's events, stories and historical persons are verified with other sources of documentation. The more it is studied the more it reveals itself to be an accurate account, historically speaking. Furthermore, the prophetic books such as Daniel and Revelations have been eerily accurate pertaining to world events. The bible, especially the Gospels, speak of heaven and hell as real places. Christ tells us how to avoid one and attain the other, and only through Jesus Christ will one obtain heaven.

It all depends on the religious beliefs of the individual. Only if you want there to be.

Answer 2

The existence of a spiritual place or places in which the souls of the dead are treated in accordance with their behavior when alive (reward or punishment), is a tradition of mankind, which finds expression (in differing details) in various religions. It cannot be conclusively proven as long as we're alive; and that's the whole point: God tests us as to whether we will live in a way that demonstrates that we're aware of His presence, even though His presence is not readily visible.
We hold it to be evident that an infinitely wise Creator, whose wisdom is vastly manifest (for example) in the wonders of our bodies, would not be so unwise as to neglect unfinished business. If a tyrant "escapes judgment" by swallowing a painless poison, to our mind it is axiomatic that his tribulations have just begun. God is just (Deuteronomy 32:4).

Answer 3

Not only are heaven and hell not real, the Jews knew nothing of heaven until after their association with the Persians had begun. Even today, the Jews do not have the Christian concept of hell. Evidence of this is to be found throughout the Bible, for example:

• Psalm 11 says that God loves the righteous, but does not suggest a reward in the afterlife. For the wicked and those who love violence, he says they will suffer snares, fire and brimstone, but this seems to be here on earth, not in the hereafter.

• The author of Ecclesiastes 9:5 was also quite clear in his non-belief in a hereafter: "For the living know that they shall die; but the dead know not anything, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten."

Contradictorily, the New Testament refers to hell, but the question must be asked whether this is the writing of men. We can't selectively take from the Bible to prove the existence of heaven and hell - either the Bible is entirely true and inspired by God, or everything in it should be subjected to rational scepticism. If the Bible is literally true in its entirety, then heaven and hell are not real.
