I think people take the topic of hell to lightly. I knew a jehovah's witness who didnt believe there was a hell and we had a discussion. Someone else told me they were going to hell because only a certain amount of people can go to heaven. But hell is not a place you would want to go. I know there's a hell but right now I do not plan on going. It is not a place where you would want to be. Do you believe here's a hell

There's not a hell. When people die...they remain in the ground. They are either resurrected to an earthly paradise or they stay in the ground and just cease to exist. Only a certain number of people go to heaven. Those people have already been spoken for.They are members of the 144,000.The rest are a part of the crowd of people who are destined to inhabit a perfect earth.

in the bible it says anyone who accepts Jesus as their Lord and Savior and belives in His word and follows His word goes to heave. your BODY REMAINS in th GROUND but YOUR SOUL GOES to HEAVEN or HELL. there is no in betweeen. many people who do not believe in a hell are the main ones who go to hell. this society nowadays just belive that there isnt a hell when there is. HELL IS REAL. its NOT a place you want to go to. IM NOT GOING TO HELL!

Hell is here on earth. Satan is the god of this earth. The Bible clearly states that only 144,000 will go to heaven. They are the great crowd. The smaller crowd will inhabit a perfect earth. There will also be those who are resurrected. Check your Bible again!

Yes there is, and it is very real. Of course you should not want to go there since it is not a nice sight to behold at and not a very nice place. Hell is described in many books of the Christian Bible. And it is where people will be punished for sin and permanently separated from God after the last judgment.
Gehenna, the greek word for Hell, is most frequently described as a place of fiery torment (eg. Matthew 5:22, 18:8-9; Mark 9:43-49) although other imagery is also used such as darkness and "weeping and gnashing of teeth" (eg. Matthew 8:12; 22:13). The book of Revelation contains the image of a "lake of fire" and "burning sulphur" where the reprobate will be "tormented day and night for ever and ever"(eg. Revelation 20:10)

I don't know. Right now living on Earth feels like I'm already there. Actually I consider living to be more like purgatory. I don't think we can make this decision about heaven and hell. Why? Because no one has been to those places as a weekend getaway. No one can say for sure what it's like. And a book isn't going to tell me what to believe.

I agree that it is not our decision to make. But i dont think anyone should go around saying that they arent going to heaven. Because if you keep speaking it then you arent going to be there. Right now i say i am but if i get to the "pearly gates" and something is wrong then thats between GOD and me.
