Heaven and Hell

From the earliest civilizations mankind has questioned the concept of a God or higher power as creator. Many religions believe in the concept of a heaven and a hell as a place that souls go to reside after death. Endlessly fascinating and at times controversial, Heaven and Hell are a part of the human experience.

The subject of a question of heaven or hell?

The debate over the existance of heaven and hell rages on. I believe there is enough evidence to say that both actually exist.

How did you get to heaven?

You have to accept Christ into your heart or invite him. If you havent accepted the Lord into your life and heart and soul then you should talk to a Christian or a Pastor or Reverand to help you with that. But heres a simple way of doing it. Im not suggesting you say these EXACT words, but you should come up with your own. "Dear God, My new father in Heaven. Please come into my life and help me to Get to heaven. Thank you Lord Jesus. Amen." I hope you DO accept the lord into your life so you may go to heaven instead of hell.

Can you go out with girls in heaven?

You seem to have an odd idea of what heaven is, I would suggest that you ask your local priest to explain heaven to you. Once you are dead, you stand in the presence of God and either love Him entirely or are cast into hell. Anyone who is thinking of other things is not picking heaven.

What are the chances of going to heaven?

This question has been debated by theologians, philosophers, believers, and non-believers for many centuries! Your answer depends on your religious upbringing, your personal beliefs now, and which "camp" you subscribe to throughout your life. If I do not believe in "heaven", I might act in ways not very "angelic". But if I believe "heaven" exists right here on Earth, depending on how I view life, I can make my life fairly 'heavenly' through how I act and treat others. Equally, I can make my own life and others' lives complete 'hell', too. On the other hand, if we believe heaven exists outside of us on some other plane we cannot see, we could spend our lives fearing we'll never be allowed "in" or worried God will reject us. In the end, no one can tell us our "chances" of going to heaven-- it isn't a horse race where there's a 3:1 chance of "winning" or some set "odds" for or against us.

After you die if you do go to heaven can the person who goes to heaven see heaven?

Heaven is the state of being united completely with God in eternal joy, there is nothing to see, you are in the presence of God, nothing else matters. You can see Our Blessed Lord, who is in His human body for all eternity, and thus, I guess, you can certainly see heaven if you can see Jesus.

Obstacles that stop us going to heaven?

In the Christian faith, the one obstacle that stops you from going to heaven is if you never believed and accepted Jesus Christ as your Saviour.

How hell started?

  1. Christians made it up as a punishment realm where you go if you did not live up to god's expectations.
  2. Hell can be interpreted in several different ways....As far as where it originated from is uncertain. Yes it is referenced in the Bible, but never explained in detail or anything such as. I perceive hell as the world we live in. If you think about it, it truly is hell to some people. All the temptations, the struggles, the pain, the sickness is hell. GOD would never place us in such positions and is supposedly carrying us (not literally) through this hellish life if you trust and believe in Him. Some people say "He went home to Jesus" meaning, they left this ungodly world and hell to be with God in Heaven and finally live. It's hard to wrap your head around, even as a Christian, I don't fully understand and probably never will.

    ALSO, if you read any mythology, there are several depictions of a hell-like place which refers to punishment and fire and evil. It's quite fascinating.

When rapists die do they go to Heaven or Hell?

That depends on whether they've repented for their crime and recognize the severity of their actions. It is no one's place to judge what is in the heart of another, but the tradition I was raised in taught that if a person is truly sorry for his or her crime whatever it may be, then they can be saved through the Grace and Mercy of Jesus Christ.

However, that does not excuse them from their sentence here on earth. Jesus said, "Give unto Ceasar what is Ceasars, and unto God what is God's." Although a repentant rapist may attain salvation through Christ after their repentance, they still must face the punishment of their crime here on earth.

Whether their sentence be life imprisonment or in some cases Capital Punishment, if a rapist is truly repentant for his sins, then he is willing to face whatever sentence is handed down upon him knowing that however harsh it may be, he will be saved through God's Grace in the next life.

There is 'Man's Law' and there is 'God's Law,' both are different, but both must be served, whatever they may be.

They go to Hell. Chinese believe they get fried in oil when they go to hell.

When you commit suicide do you go to heaven?

Some believe heaven and hell are in the mind and only empty stillness exists when you die. These people believe that suicide would only be a gate into that empty stillness.

Others believe there is a literal heaven and a literal hell. The greatest number of these people base their beliefs on a belief in God. A large number of these people believe if one commits suicide, their destination will be hell.

Ultimately, you have to search for the answer within yourself, remembering that there is no going back once the act is done and that there is no one who can say there definitely is not a heaven and hell.

Can the the people who curse go to heaven?

well cursing isn't a good thing. as a christian you should be a good person to everybody no matter what they treat u like. In the bible u have to be the best person you can possibly be and cursing wouldn't be part of that. I suggest that people who swear should try to stop doing that as much as they can...no one on this earth is without sin tho, we all sin...but its still not a good thing to do.

Is it too late to go to heaven?

NOPE! The doors to heaven will be open till the end of time. Till the Creator comes back and says "it is finished." The Bible (at least) does not say anything about it being too late. As long as you are alive, you have the choice to believe on Christ or not to believe.

John 10:9 (King James Version)9I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.

Do more people go to heaven or hell?

I call it a draw, because I believe that heaven and hell do not actually exist. The author of Ecclesiastes did not believe in heaven and hell:
For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten (Ecclesiastes 9:5).

Can a vampire go to heaven?

Sure why not. At least in the Bible, there is no prohibition against vampires going to heaven. The Bible says only one thing keeps people out of heaven. And that is by dying in unbelief. If anyone dies "rejecting" God in their hearts - they get sent to Satan's hell. That is what the Christian Bible tells us. God wants everyone to go to heaven (II Peter 3:9) and John 3:16 is very clear about Jesus dying for EVERYBODY - no exceptions. God is not prejudiced at all. Galatians 3:28

On the other hand, since Vampires in the literature are typically unrepentant murderers, another Christian perspective is that they would not go to Heaven. Even in the Twilight version of Vampires, if you can't die, you wouldn't be able to go to heaven. Luckily, since vampires do not actually exist, it is unlikely to ever come up.

Violence is not acceptable under any circumstances. It is important to treat others with kindness and respect, regardless of their background or beliefs. Instead of resorting to physical harm, it is better to address conflicts peacefully and with empathy.

How do you know heaven is real?

You believe. The Holy Bible reads, "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen" (Hebrews 11:1).

Another Answer

I being a Christian live my life by faith. I truly believe the Bible is the Word of God. The Bible tells me that there is a heaven, a place where God lives and at the present time Jesus Christ lives also. I am also told that because i put my faith in Jesus Christ I have become a child of God and that when I die I will live in heaven with God and Jesus and all who have put their faith in Him.

Many people have asked, "how do you know heaven is real"?, and I ask, "How do you know that heaven is not real"? There is no proof except in my heart.

Another Answer

There is no proof or evidence that heaven is real. Even if there were proof that God exists, that could be seen as indirect evidence for the existence of heaven but, again, there is no proof or evidence that God exists.

In ancient times, heaven was probably necessary to religion as a promised reward for those who took part in religious rituals and worshipped God. So, belief in heaven serves an important purpose, but belief is a matter of faith, not proof. If you really believe, then proofs are not necessary.

Answer:

We know that what people call heaven (afterlife; spiritual reward; God's presence) is real, through tradition, through instinct and through relevant verses. See for example Genesis 15:15, Isaiah 26:19 and 66:24, Daniel 12:13, Zechariah 3:7, 1 Kings 8:30, 2 Kings ch.2, Ecclesiastes 12:7.
