Spot on!  Hell in the Bible refers to the state of death, and the Bible even states that at death "his thoughts do perish".  No, you will not find anyone you will be able to give you clear cut proof that the Bible says anything about eternal damnation!  And a great question!  Maybe this will give so-called "Christians" the impetus they need to actually read the Bible for once instead of having all the crap and prejudice spoonfed to them at church!\nHappy Hunting!

I would go to heaven, because I have accepted Christ as my lord and savior. You see, heaven is a free gift. It is not earned and can not be deserved.  "For it is by grace that you are saved through faith. it is the gift of God, not of man, that none may boast."Eph 2 8-9 It has to be a free gift because man is a sinner. "For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God." Rom 3:23 Anything that is against God's will is considered sin. There are sins of thought, omission, and commission.  God gave a standard we must achieve if we wish to earn our way into heaven According to Matt 5:48, that standard  is " Be therefore perfect as your father in heaven is perfect."  That definitely leaves me out. Our God is merciful, and does not want to punish us, but He is just and must punish sin. This apparent problem was solved by Jesus - who is 100% God and 100% man. What did He do? He died on the cross, rose from the dead, and purchased a place in heaven for us. Does everyone receive this gift? No - the key to heaven is faith. Not temporal faith - like praying when you have a sick loved one , not head knowledge - many people believe that Jesus lived, much as they believe that George Washington lived. However, they are not counting on him to do anything for them today. Scripture tells us "You believe there is one God? You do well. The demons believe as much - and tremble!" James 2:9 No - the key to heaven is saving faith - asking Jesus to save you from the penalty of your sins. If this is what you want to do, ask Him to be your lord. Ask him to be your savior. Repent of your sins, and be a new creation!

NO-Heaven is absolute perfection (paradise).  Why would someone who has gone to heaven be able to look back on this wicked world (imperfection)?  It would take away from what heaven is if we could.  Moreover, why would anyone from hell be able to look at earth (a place created to show God's glory)?\n\nI don't have Bible proof for you, but I am in a Sunday school class (Heaven - Will it be Boring?) and what I have learned in that class makes it so the answer just seems to be correct to me.\n\nI am sorry, but I don't believe he sees you.  I will ask my pastor though.

we each have our own purposes for being on earth.  for instance if you were to kill your self and please dont,  but hypothetically it will throw of the balance that god intented.  that is why you go staight to hell without passing go and without collecting 2 hundred dollars.  your purpose for being here could just to be a parent or influence someone to create the cure for cancer or to help lead some people to god.  if you arent there for that what would happen would change.  think about scrooge he saw what his life could have been,  who he effected i belive we all have our purpose,  and we propably wont figure it out until we are gone. ps. geznaks purpose of being here is to be a nusence

Why go to church, and pay your dues, only to being beaten down and berated,  called worthless: you are nothing, this God is everything..\n\n\nhow depressing and droll.\n\nInstead, tune in to Answers from your computer and get the REAL scoop, from us, who will tell you that human life is worthy and valuable .. and not to worry about things like self sacrifice .. live a happy life here and now .. that is all you have, no afterlife .. what a joke ..

If you believe that the Lord Jesus Christ is your Savior, then you go to heaven.  If you don't, then you go to hell.\n\nIt's just that simple, and sad for those that don't believe.

I would challenge the person who answered that it will keep you out of heaven.  Where does it say that in the Bible?  \n\nNote: I am not endorsing suicide.  I don't think it's a good idea at all to destroy what God has given you responsibility for, and I would advise against it.

I would still try to do good.  It is not really about heaven or hell.  It is about loving God and people.  If that sends me to hell, then I am there!!!!

I do not say that you are going to hell. I believe that the Bible is true. The Bible is very clear about this subject. Jesus is the way and the life and the truth, no one will go to the Father's house except through Him.\n\nIf you do not believe in hell and heaven, do not worry what people say. You are a very good person. If you want to find God, you will find Him. I am not worried about that. If I make it to heaven, I will give all the credit to Jesus...because I would not make it without Him.\n\nChristianity is a relationship with God. He has mercy on us if we ask it.

For us to exist, and do our best in life, before coming to heaven.\n\nA test of sorts.\n\nScience does not have much better an explanation.\n\nAccording to Atheists, we ceast to exist upon death.  It just don't seem fair to live "this" life and then just die for the reward.  There HAS to be something else, thus/hence, I belive in the afterlife, hence God.

I believe I'm going to Heaven.  I believe that the Bible is the perfect word of God and that it says that we're all born sinners and because of our sin we're condemned to hell.  I believe that it outlines an escape route in that God sent his son into the world to die in a vicarious atonement.  I believe I'm going to Heaven because years ago, I got down on my knees and asked God to spare me from what I deserved as a sinner... to cleanse me with the blood and make me a new creature.  I asked him to come into my heart and now... I believe that he's saved me and that he keeps me and nothing on this world can take that from me.  Maybe it's not PC or maybe it's not scientific fact... but it's what I believe and that's what was asked for.

if you have been saved(accepted Jesus as your Savior) you will go to heaven..but if you haven't you will go to hell ..but not yet because nobody goes anyway until the day of judgment! it is in Revelations if you want to check!

Can't think of anymore, I think I'm the only one answering that agrees with u, lol. There good though covered all the reasons i don't believe. Oh wait think I've got one if there is a heaven where do the animals go? They can't sin (or at least don't understand their doing it) so u can't send them to hell, but they can't pray, worship or believe in God so they can't go to heaven. That and what happens to all the people who where alive before Jesus? They were never told about God and Jesus hadn't been born so do they automatically go to hell? If they do God can't be that great of a being. You can't punish someone for a crime that wasn't a crime when they committed it.

To follow God and try to follow his instructions (the bible) to get to heaven. Thats what I know. The point of living on earth is to bring others to Christ so they can come to heaven with you! :)

God has His reasons, and that is sufficient for me.Whether we go to heaven, or to hell is largely dependent on how we act in this life. If we go to hell, it is our own doing, no one elses.
