If heat rises, shouldn't Heaven be hot and Hell normal?

Except that "Heaven" is beyond our atmosphere and therefore not subject to its properties (ie gravity/relativity). This also goes for Hell- which is believed to be contained in the center of the Earth- which scientists have confirmed is a massive ball of gaseous fire. //// This is an addition - in response to Smiley's comments below.... Heaven as described by the Apostle Paul is in the "Third Heavens" which no astronaut has ever been to.

This isn't hell.  Hell has no beautiful waves or green trees,  its just a place where people weave back the pain they caused here so the universe can be healed.  Very few people go there.  Until recently anyway.

Within the Bible there is little description of Hell especially in Old Testiment.  It was simple described are a place without G-d.  Dante descrbied Hell as a place where people are blown around ripped apart and frozen and eat over and over again and only G-d's grace can save you so that would have attracted worshippers to avoid Hell.

First, we postulate that you cannot get very far in this life (let alone get Best Answer) simply by copying and pasting someone else's work.  Then, we can plunge into our own whack-azz theory.\n\nIn Yahoo Answers, you have the non-believers saying (to use th term politely) that Hell does not exist.  Which causes the believers to say that yes it does and you better believe it bless your sorry soul, cause it was scribbled down in a book a few thousand years ago. Which causes the non-believers to say what planet did you come from, which causes another flood of bible quotes and blessings.\n\nSo a lot of heat energy goes into the battle over Hell, but at the end, nothing comes out of it, especially when the Yahoo god deletes the arguments.  So in YA, hell is Endothermic.

Well technically YES, because fire and brimstone hell as has been preached in the past is false doctrine. The bible says that when people die, the are concious of nothing and feel nothing (pain, joy, sorrow. etc. ...) So 'hell' as referred to in the bible is simply the grave. So yes those people did go to 'hell', but they are not burning eternally!

The popular Christian vision of heaven is somewhat frightening I must admit. Yes hell seems more exciting indeed. I mean talking to the devil, wild parties, exceedingly loud music, drinking, (sex orgies without condemnation?), making fun of the devil to piss him off, etc. Well you know, people love fun, and for that you have to be a little naughty (or a lot). And we also need to consider that the Christians have demonised hell (like they demonise everything they don't understand), so yes I'll take my chances with hell and I bet it turns out to rock.

Some Christians actually believe that burning in hell is God's idea. They have accepted a perversion of the scriptures without ever wondering if the translations have been mis-translated.I have been a Christian 32 years and this year I actually researched the horrible untruth "Hell." The Holy Spirit will bring us into more and more truth and expose lies and false doctrines.As with lots of Christian stuff we forget parts of the Bible whilst emphasising others. This gospel is good news! I believe all die. All rise from the grave when Jesus returns and everyones life is opened up and bare before God.. Those who have a relationship with God are resurrected and receive new bodies that will never die. And those who have decided to ignore salvation and deliberately continue to do wrong things are forever lost. Unbelievers simply pass from existence. They perish. The dead know nothing. Jesus and God would never punish forever with unquenchable fire and torment. That's a pagan, heathan, wicked perversion. However upon saying that it is very hard to change your beliefs. Especially when people go years believing a doctrine and millions of others disagree and threaten curses etc.upon those who declare hell is a false doctrine. Little by little people will come to know the truth and be set free. Seek the truth and you will find it.

Yeha i know, they don't know what in the world they are taking about! Because in hell there will never ever be a party of any kind! insstead those that go get to be in a lake of buring sulfer, in total darkenss, hear cries of pain, be in solitude, and be miserable for the rest of eternity, sounds like a great party to me! NOT! and in heaven there will be no dring and sex! how rediciolous! in heaven we will be praising our holy father and be doing his will! sure up there there will be a constant party but not in hell! heaven will be beautiful, pearly gates, gold roades, safire, emerals, and stones we have never heard of will be there along with alot of our loved ones! i mean who wouldn't want to go to heaven???!!! But those that say that the real party is in hell i suggest that they do some research in the BIBLE and see what it is really like! becasuse it won't be what they are expecting!!!I agree the people that say well lets go to the party in hell, they are stupid and don't know anything! (i would suggest that you download the podcase sermons about what will heaven be like from southeast christian church! i get them every week and these particular sermons talk about this subject, you might enjoy them. they're free so that's cool just go to http://www.southeastchristianchurch.com or something like that and download the series, it's really good!! I have really enjoyed them! highly recomend them!)

I belive that if paradise exists it will be something TOTALLY DIFFERENT from what we call physical and spiritiual..it is supposed to be a type of pleasure much more joyous than anything we've ever experienced. I guess that's what all religions say anyway.

Yes Sweety there is a Heaven and a Hell. If your soul is right with God you will go to Heaven and if its not then you go to Hell.

It is unbalance and the people going to or in hell would agree with you.  I guess those in heaven would see it as being fair.

heaven and hell are real places but they exist extra-dimensionally.

"Hell isn’t a place. This life is hell." \n\nSkeptics who say this are trying to dismiss the reality of hell. They might like to think that life as we know it couldn’t get any worse, but the sufferings in this life will be heaven compared to the suffering in the next life—for those who die in their sins. This life is the closest thing to hell that Christians will ever know, and the closest thing to heaven that sinners will ever know.

"HELL" is a latin word that means \n"land of the dead", so it is up to your beliefs, i believe there is a hell, but it is not a firery pit, i believe it is a huge grave yard for the forsaken, and that the only the good will be left in the light with each other and the bad will be in the darkness to walk alone by their lonely selves.

I'm not sure Hell is a place where you get actually burned, but is a place without the presence of God. Hope you end up in the same place as me.

There is no such thing as Hell. Not as the ascribed place anyway. Hey, its great to have a religion or spirituality to make you feel good and have importance in life, but the Idea of Hell was used to just terrify people into submission in the old ages. Its just carried over through the centuries. People used to believe in Zues and Medusa and all the Greek mythology too! Well, that should give you some indication...\n\nI'm not attempting to change your belief system, because I believe everyone should have thier own, however, I would suggest doing some research and introspective thought regarding Theocracy. Ask around. Talk to people and get other views. It may open your mind and free you of the anxiety of Hell or whatever.
