Heaven and Hell

If we believe in God, we accept that Heaven exists and therefore, we have to accept that hell exists. If we live according to His will and His word and believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, then we will obtain salvation in eternal life. But if we reject Him and fail to love others (His will for us) then hell and death may very well become a reality for us. God is a forgiving God of love. What are your comments on this?

The praise goes not to me, but to God.

I am just curious, why do we have to believe in a heaven just because we believe in God? For that matter, if we believe in heaven, why does that mean we have to believe in hell? I never really understood that concept.

I don't believe that God is in a form to help you,so to me we create our hell and heaven ourselves not God.there's no hell or heaven elsewhere than the earth.Salvation is understanding godliness and it's here and now.So the man who wants to get rid of births should attain salvation thru meditation.

If we believe in God then we accept the word of God as spoken by the Word of God Jesus Christ through the Gospels as the Divine Truth. In Matthew 16, 17, Christ says...for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you but my Father who is in heaven, in Matthew 18, 9, He says...it is better for you to enter life with one eye than with two eyes to be thrown into the hell of fire, and Matthew concludes his gospel with the assertion from Jesus that...all authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. We do create a hell for ourselves when we sin by rejecting God's love for us.
