Are you going to heaven or hell?

Hey Steve! I see your poll got approved!

I had a difficult time with the questions about whether you believe you are going to heaven or hell, and why. I believe Heaven and Hell exsist right now on this earth, so I had a difficult time answering completely honestly. No need to change anything, just thought I could give you constructive feedback as well :)

Glad you found me. I will soon work on a response to your message at your poll site. You said you believe heaven and hell are right here. If this is hell, it isn't so bad afterall! Wouldn't you believe that hell is a bit (or a whole lot!) worse than this? Ask yourself this: should God punish murders? How about someone who rapes, murders, and mutilates a young woman? If they go to hell, their punishment is being here? That's it? Shouldn't there be more justice than that? God is a God of justice, and life on this earth, not matter how bad, isn't enough to punish a man like that. He actually will punish all sinners, but you get the idea based on the example above.

A person that is negative, thinks negatively, and lives negatively creates uhappiness and suffering for themselves, and they are in essence, hell. Those that have been able to remove themselves from all suffering and negative emotions and actions have found complete happiness, which is in essence heaven. That's my belief anyway.

I get what your saying, but I believe that what you are talking about are only shadows of the heaven and hell to come.

Emerald Lily,

I would like to comment on what you said, "A person that is negative, thinks negatively, and lives negatively creates uhappiness and suffering for themselves, and they are in essence, hell."

A negative person is certainly making things hard on themselves, but many people who commit crimes, sins, etc., enjoy doing those things and are not suffering at all. Some people get off on murder, rape, theft, fornication, etc. So all these people will go unpunished. A man could rape women his whole life, enjoy every bit of it, and have no justice in the end. That doesn't make sense.

Don't assume that all people who are immoral are unhappy and in torment here on earth. Often the opposite is quite true. However, God hates sin so much, He will send even liars to hell. Justice will be done, but not without a way out. But first you must understand you will stand before God as a Lawbreaker, before you can appreciate the solution.
