Do you consider you are living like you are in heaven, hell or somewhere in between ?

There are so many people in this world. Besides rich and poor, there are some people who will feel that they are living like what they think is a heavenly lives style. For some, they would think that they are living like hell even they might not understand real hell is worse than what they have already experienced according to what the Bible said. Some may think that their life are not perfect but still they are happy in half of the cases, even sometimes will experience some kinds of unhappy events. These are the people who feel that they are living somewhere in between heaven and hell. What do you think and how would you classified yourself in this three categories or you can place yourself in another new category of your own. Share with us ?

this world is not heaven or paradise. this world is not hell. we live in a world of test. Our Creator placed us here to be tested. this world is just a testing ground or a launching pad towards our next destination. our accumulated deeds in this world will give us an indication as to where we may end up next. we may have asked for an eternal life from Our Creator. fact is, we'll all get that. it's just that where will we be spending that ever lasting life base from what our deeds have earned.
plants are not the ones being tested; animals are not the ones being tested... they are already part of paradise. it is Man who is being tested by Our Creator. we need to earn our rights back to paradise.

You might need to do a little more Bible reading. James 1:13 plainly says that "When under trial, let no one say: "I am being tested by God. For with evil things God cannot be tried nor does he himself try anyone." We are being tested by Satan the devil. And 1 John 5:19 tells us that "the whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one."
Satan wants people to believe that God is causing all these trials. 2 Corinthians 4:4 says that "the god of this system of things, (Satan) has blinded the minds of the unbelievers."
What the Bible says about this world proves that it is NOT a testing ground and it also says that we can't EARN our rights back to paradise. Everlasting life is a FREE gift. All mankind has been redeemed by the ransom sacrifice of Jesus Christ, but we must exercise FAITH. John 3:16
