who knowns :) we know this when we die, but then could be to late. My opinion better live and believe that heaven and hell exist. if you believe in this you try be better person every day, you don't want hurt anybody and this is good for the rest people. you are nicer for them. So I believe that devil and God exist:) good day

That is a little to simple to say you believe than to actually believe...it's almost like saying just go to church just in case there is a God. I actually knew someone who said this once. And plus, if you just say there is a devil and a God that does not mean that people will generally be nicer....in fact it can act as an excuse for people who harm others.

This is my personal conviction and others may have their own. I respect their position. I believe in the real existence of a literal heaven and a literal hell. This is because my Bible tells me so, and I believe what my God says in His word. Heaven is for people who trusted Jesus Christ as their Savior and Lord. Hell is for satan and his demons, and those who follow him. thank you.

Thank you for your response and as what you have said, we have our own conviction and that is your conviction. But for me, I can not fully accept it.

It all depends on your religious views, it exists in christianity, but some religions don't have a concept of heaven and hell. For me, heaven does exist, I don't know so much about hell.

yes and no. It is a matter of belief, for some yes it does, for others no it doesn't. Can something exist that is not proven? yes, because someone believes in something does that mean it does exist? no. Which means that this is something for each individual to decide for themselves. For those who spritial, values determine that it does exist and who have unwavering faith in what they are taught, then yes it is real. For those who have no evidence of it, and so doubt if it does, then the answer is either no or maybe based on where they are in their journey to learn about such things. So yes and no. Depends. Whether or not it exists for others really isn't what matters, so much as whether it exists for ourselves or not. So again it is personal issue that it is subjective based on value system that works for you. Follow your own voice on this one, and you will know what is right for you.

I believe that hell does not exist as some people imagine it to be. The misunderstandings about hell in the Bible are due to translation errors. The words sheol and hades refer to the grave; sheol (Hebrew) is used in the Bible 65 times. In the King James version of the Bible, sheol is translated as both the grave and hell an equal number of times. It is also translated as the pit. The word tartaroo is used only once in the Bible (NT) and translated into hell. It refers to the place (Greek mythology) where fallen angels and demons are chained or restrained awaiting judgement. Nowhere does it mention humans being there. There is no mention in the Bible of there being a place, called hell, where humans will suffer and be tormented for eternity. God is a God of love. How could anyone think that this God of love could torture his children for eternity? I don't believe it. Heaven, yes I do believe it exists. But that's another story!

I do not believe they exist in a physical sense. They are states of mind.

it really depends upon ourselves.I think the concept of hell&the heaven is to lead a disciplined life.it means simple 'live and let others to live'.follow this through ur life time.
