Good God people, the OP was a simple question, and then it brought out a debate about Hell.
Hell is bad, hence the name HELL.
Yeah, my dog's got a name too. I called him "Hell Raiser". 😉

My friend had a dog named Dammit. He would call him in the morning, Here Dammit! Here Dammit. Dammit, come here!

I had a Christian friend in the 70s who had two big German Shepherds. One he called Truth and the other Justice.

The author might be just a touch biased.....

If there were 'god inspired' words written today, would anyone believe it?

Did new 'god inspired' writing get forbidden when the bible was finalized in the 4th century?

It's a mistake to speculate about too many details, but the Bibles says this and that about heaven and hell. There are too many interpretations about what it all means. Personally, I just accept the fact that heaven and hell exist, but I don't try to understand more about "the other side" than what I know. Which isn't too much.

It's okay to ponder possibi ...[text shortened]... at's a no-brainer. There is only one true God. All the rest of them are impostors.
AMEN to the no-brainer.
I also choose to believe in God for the same reasons - I can not believe that some people can not see God, He is everywhere! Look at the sky, stars, planets, universes, galaxies, cells, people, children. You can see His hands in creation everywhere or are we too blind to see people!!!

Others don't see any patterns which point to a God. In fact, the sky, stars, planets - they all look pretty random. Not saying they are, just how they look.

I always assumed that the belief was that you die and basically your soul is taken out of the physical universe altogether, kind of like what science fiction would consider another dimension. But I've been reading some Christian stuff that suggests that it's physically underground - in the core of the Earth. One website ...[text shortened]... ed.

Do you have a belief about the location of Hell? Is Heaven then literally in the sky?
The english Bible was put together by a bunch of scholars and academics in a room hundreds of years ago, so when they have to write something about hell...... they all toss ideas around the room in what they believe hell might be like ( they also consult the scrolls at hand).......but what they came up with at their meetings is what we now find in the present day Bible.

The Bible is a fabricated writing put together by about 50 unqualified translators under the order of King James.

Hell is not a physical place but exists in the realm of mind.

If some one has lived a very sinful life then they will most probably expect to go to hell, and its this expectation that allows them to visit the hell of the mind after death.

So the greater your imagination is then the greater will be your experience of hell in the mind after death.

The Christian belief that sinners go to the lake of fire for eternity is false.
