Do you believe in heaven and hell??

[Charlotte ~08]

...inspired by the believe in God thread.

 

[Charlotte ~08]

and to start the ball rolling... I don't believe in either of them.

 

[slo]

Yes I do, without a doubt!!!

I have a very strong faith, and a very strong relationship with God. I look forward to the day that my time on earth is fulfilled, and I can spend my eternity in heaven (hopefully that won't be anytime soon )



EDITED TO ADD..........
I voted wrong - I voted "I believe in heaven", and I should have voted "I believe in both"

 

[Bluestars]

No.

I believe when we die our souls are free and whatever we believe, will materialize. So, I believe we go to wherever we believe we will go to, for as long as we choose to stay in that state of consciousness. Therefore, if it is our belief that we will go to heaven or hell, then that will materialize for us until we choose something else.

To me, it's almost like a dream, but where people with the same beliefs can experience the same thing together.

I know I am strange, but you asked.

 

[emer95]

Yes, I believe in both. I believe in God with all of my heart. I have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and I look forward to spending eternity with Him.

I believe heaven is in the presence of god and I believe Hell is the absence of God. Whether or not it is a place or eternal torture etc. I do not know. I know any place w/o love and good can't be too nice though. Good is Love and God is good. On earth, here and now, we have the Holy Spirit as a constant presence of God. After Jesus ascended, the Holy Spirit was sent here but it promised that He will one day be taken away. The world is bad enough with evil so widespread, I cannot imagine it without the presence of the Holy Spirit! ( long post, sorry)

 

[DisneyBamaFan]

Yes, but not in the traditional sense. I believe in the human soul, and that we continue after death. I am a Christian, but I am not into literal interpretation. I believe that those who live in Christ's shadow will find the next life easier. I also believe that those who live for themselves will see the error of their ways after they pass, and knowing exactly how they hurt others, will live in their own "hell". Imagine finding true peace, then being forced to remember your hateful life for eternity.

My belief is even more complicated, but that is a summary...

Nope. When you're dead, you're dead. There's no evidence to the contrary, just wishful thinking.

 

[Soarin08]

Yes, I believe in both.

 

[monkey68]

I believe in Heaven, but not Hell. But I'm Jewish, and Jews don't believe in hell.

 

[Nomi]

No, I do not believe in either, and I do not believe in souls or any sort of afterlife.

 

[GrumpyPajamas]

Nope...also don't believe in Purgatory, Hades, Valhalla, or any number of other afterlife myths. I also don't believe that the number 13 is unlucky, or that it is unlucky to walk under a ladder...although it is unsafe. People who forward chain-letters to 20 of their friends in order to avoid bad luck baffle me, and I don't stay away from black cats.

 

[Zippa D Doodah]

Yes, I believe in both heaven and hell.

 

[disneyjunkie]

I believe in both

 

[CookieDiva]

I believe in Heaven, but not Hell. But I'm Jewish, and Jews don't believe in hell.

I don't mean this to be ignorant, but I AM ignorant on the subject, so I will ask...

I thought that Jews did not necessarily believe in Heaven either (at least not the Paradise that Christians envision Heaven) - or even any kind of afterlife. Am I really off base on this?

 

[CookieDiva]

I believe heaven is in the presence of god and I believe Hell is the absence of God.

I think that is what I believe too. (And I haven't answered the poll yet because even though I am a devout Christian, I am not sure what I think about Hell, but I think that your belief comes closest to mine.)

 

[dismom2]

Yes, I believe in both. I believe in God with all of my heart. I have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and I look forward to spending eternity with Him.

Ditto!

 

[TLSnell1981]

I believe in Heaven and Hell.

 

[kaytieeldr]

Nope. When you're dead, you're dead. There's no evidence to the contrary, just wishful thinking.

Ditto!

 

[MuskratSusie]

Yes, I believe that there is a Heaven and a Hell.
