When I was a lil girl, my parents told me that there is heaven and there is hell. When I ask them back, "where?" they answered me many things. Yet sad to say I was not satisfied on it.
They said Heaven is the most beautiful place you you'll ever see and Hell is place where there is a huge fire all around the place. Whheew! Oh well that was how they explained it to me when I was a lil girl.
When I was on my six grade I use to wrote poems and I used the progection of those places, Heaven and Hell on my poem. Eventually, my mind was kept on searching words to fit into my poem. And I had written words like "Heaven and Hell is on your heart." My eyes was caught by those words.
I just kept it for myself until I had read some discussions here which Heaven and Hell would matter.
For me, Heaven and Hell is on our heart. Not in any other places before our birth or after our death. But if you believe such things like that. It is ok.
If you live with good deeds, with no stomping other's life, you will surely have peaceful and happy life. If you live selflessly, you may embrace love. Isn't it beautiful?
If you live with many enemies, condemning others faults, you will surely live and rotten your life in the fire of anger, hatred, and unpeaceful life. A real mess like a fire on hell, right?
For me, there is no other place than our heart could feel and appreciate those things in life. How about you guys? Where do you think Heaven and Hell? If you do have some other beliefs than me, please tell me so that I may know something different than mine. And I will respect that.

Heaven is not in the sky as in the earth's atomsphere and the Devil's place is not in the earth's core. Maybe they are in another dimension?

hey buddy spiderlizard.
Yeah I was like that too when I was still young. I am not quite sure of myself too. I am so curious about it, coz many were talking about it yet many didn't see it though.
Well, maybe beliefs may matters most so that we can really see it or at least feel it.
But if it's in another dimension, we cannot surely see it or feel it coz we just live our life in a lil time. And literally speaking, going to that dimension, wherever it is, takes time I think. Well, I am not sure of it too. hehe
So if we go there not by our body but by our spirit, could we still feel the appreciation of that place? Wheew. Quite so deep and complicated. Hahhh...:)

Well, personally, I don't think that Hell exist. And Heaven for me is where I am -- in my mind, my heart, and soul.
It's a personal concept deeply rooted from my experiences. I think that Hell do not exist simply because I don't think that God will create a place where man has to suffer. I think that God is absolutely good and there is no room in my mind and heart to doubt His goodness. This also leads to the point that Heaven is everywhere - it's where I am, it's where you are. Just waking up every morning and looking at the sunrise is a part of Heaven. If you take time to notice nature embracing you as you walk through the streets and wander, Heaven is right there. Every little thing on earth is a piece of Heaven.
But if you ask me why there are a lot of evil things going on this world, my answer would be because man is not perfect and some men can not control his greed for power and wealth. Greediness is the root of all evil. It's only these greedy men who are inventing hell for other people to suffer.
In general, we do not deserve to suffer in hell created by men. Evil will not have power over Good. Because evil is simply an embodiment of man's imperfection. But man has the free will to decide if he wants to live in Heaven or in Hell.

Wow! What a nice reflection buddy! I am inspired by that.
It is true that God is so good and didn't think of a place for us to suffer. It's just man who made it and ruined God's plan for us. Whhew.
Yeah I agree with you that the greediness is the root of all evil which leads other people to suffer too. Now, I am thinking of the social issue on poverty.
It was my bro's report and he asked me to print it. So, while printing it I took a peep on it. Some stated there that over population is not an issue on poverty, it was the corrupt government. According to them, if the government officials were honest enough in running the government, we don't have problem on over population. Hmmm..what do you think buddy?
For me, both are responsible. Having a big family is not a problem but if you can not feed them all, or provide their needs I don't think it is not a problem. But the worse thing happened buddy was those who have a big family yet cannot provide their needs, were the ones who blame the government. Is it right? Gosh! Sounds disgusting..
Although government has its duty for that yet they must be aware of what they had made in their life.
Yes, indeed these were the examples of what you said man is the one who make hell out of his life. Moreover, corruption is the a perfect example of the greediness that rooted all evils.
Thanks buddy. Hope to hear from you more. Please be back. ahehehe..

You are entitled to whatever you think. But if you believe in God, you should believe that the Holy Bible is the word of God and that is the truth. According to the Holy Bible, heaven is where God is - above and beyond what we can see. There is already heaven now. Hell is prepared by God for Satan and all his followers - those who did not obey God during their lifetime on earth. Nobody is in hell yet. On the last day, God will judge all people and those who obeyed Him will live with Him in heaven forever. But those who did not obey Him will be thrown into the lake of fire called hell together with Satan.

I agree with you there luzamper that "heaven is where God is - above and beyond what we can see." That is why in my realization, heaven is in my heart. Wherever love lives God is around. Wherever hatred is, Hell is there.

Hi Cris! I have these reflections, Lottery said Jesus will come from a certain place, can it be counted considering that our scientists have discovered the existence of new planets? That 2nd coming will be in thousand years, and we are now starting 2000 years, to be exact we are now in 2007? Great natural phenomenons had visited earth already, be it in land...earthquakes, landslides, draught, ...in water, flood. etc...in air, tornado, airplane crashes, etc., fire, houses on fire...volcano eruptions, etc....? Is the earth experiencing now the Hell?

Yeah hi there islandrose! nyahahahaha...as if I'm talkin' to a stranger. hahaha! Yeah, you got a point there too. And that is how you percieve things.
Well, the formula of life and things were already given. All we need to do is to locate where it is and understand its existence. Oppps! Plus, to find the answers of all our questions in a graceful manner. *wink wink* hehehe
