How long I will stay in HEAVEN / HELL?

Because I do not want to live in hell for eternity. How long is life in the hereafter? Could someone be tortured forever in hell? Although Heaven is fun, but if we will live eternally in heaven forever, whether we will not feel bored? Someone says, "more logical and simple, if we believe that there is no continuation after death means that death is THE END, FINISH. Death = disappeared Death = perish Death = END THE LIFE OF A PREVIOUSLY is Nothing, THEN, BACK INTO Nothing. YOUR LIFE WILL BE PASSED, disappeared and FORGOTTEN " Maybe he say like that because he did not believe in religion

Living in Heaven for eternity would be Hell! Imagine sitting at the feet of God in a Chair of Gold! How much fun could that be after a few hours? On the other hand Could shoveling coal into the fires of Hell would be all that bad?

Many wonderful stories about heaven had people say to me, but more interesting to me what they say about hell.

Surely eternal life would be a torture in either of those places. Our minds can't even imagine such a timespan, let alone bear a never-ending fable existence. Although we can't really know for sure if there is an afterlife, we do know that we have this life and we should take much advantage of it, live good lives and do what we love to do. That is our true heaven, fullfiling our dreams.

Actually that's what "eternal" means. Forever. Never-ending. The word or words you are looking for are "temporary" or "until total anihilation" like in the bible story you just mentioned.

Those fortunate people who will go to Heaven,will stay there permanently.There are still other fortunate people who will suffer their punishments in Hell and then go to Heaven.They will be the monotheists who had recognized and worshiped one God Almighty in this world but had committed some big sins.Polytheism is the biggest and only unforgivable sin,which will never be forgiven at all,therefore polytheists will permanently burn in Hell fire.This is what the divine book,the Holy Quran says. Yes,polytheism can be forgiven in this life if that person asks His forgiveness,never indulges in this sin again and He forgives him.......

Hereafter take place after this worldly life is over, time and form of life different from the life of the world, after the apocalypse, man in turn again, and in court, then there is in hell and there are in heaven, that's afterlife

I believe in the future possibility of either, but neither matter to me right now. The Seventh-Day Adventist Church (not necessarily me) believes that 1) Hell IS NOT a place (backing it up with Bible-translation discernment) and 2) Heaven is in outer-space. They also believe that--when we die--our souls cease to exist---our souls being the combination of our bodies (which rot away) and our spirits (which go back to YHVH). There are four words in the Bible that it translates "hell": two which really mean 'the grave,' one which really means 'darkness,' & one which really means 'fire.' That last one is the one you're afraid of, and it'll only last until you're ashes. (God loves you, and it would be punishing FOR HIM to punish you longer than you could survive.)

I've heard we will stay there (hell or heaven) for about 1,000 years and a new Earth will be created. That's contrary to popular belief that tormenting in hell is forever.

No one stays in Hell forever. The Holy Bible says this because it feels like forever. There's no fire & brimstone either. This was said to help describe to people what it's like. We created Hell. There we face our own retribution or judgment. Do you recall the last time you were in pain? Didn't it feel like forever? Do you remember the last time you were really happy? Didn't time really fly? No sin is eternally committed, so a just & fair God will not punish you eternally. Hell is usually only for those who are very disturbed in their minds. Those who are virtuous & good never experience hell. Hell is like a great big mental hospital to help those whose minds & spirits are sick. Similar to our own hospitals here.

Life in the Hereafter is eternal, we will not be bored living in paradise because there are much better than living in the world. when it comes to being tortured in hell forever, as much as his actions, after his actions have redeemed will be included in heaven ...
