Is hell the bad side of heaven?

yes, but there's a big gentrification going on and soon it will be a good neighborhood [though predictably pricey].

I have heard different theories....One...yes this is the hell...earth and your current life lessons...Another theory...Hell is the place of limbo some enter after death......yet another...hell is the place of satan, fire and suffering for eternity.....yet another...hell is a man made entity....yet another ...hell is a church made idea to scare followers into obaying and attending the church...One who says they know this answer...full of crap...cuz one will never know till the end...and even then we may never know.

Definitely, Hell is very real. Why do you think there is hate and sin in the world now. Satan is trying to gain as many followers as he can before Jesus comes again. Satan (AKA Lucifer) was "booted" out of heaven when God realized that Lucifer (his favorite angel at that time) wanted to be God because Lucifer was jealous of God.

I would think to make hell worse, one would go to the politicians' and Evangelists' area. Nothing worse than that I bet!

I used to think hell isn't a real place, but as a metaphor in the religious teaching to make men think twice about their action.\n\nHowever I had recently discovered for myself that Hell is as real as Disney world and its a very scary place.\n\nI recently heard from a pastor that there might be a record of documented scream from hell, and I did found it on the Internet.\n\nThe website for this is http://amightywind.com/hell/aboutsounds.htm\n\nThe website provides detail background story on how the recording was obtained and the actually sound file which you can listen through your computer.\n\nThere are many identical descriptions of Hell that exist in both western religion and eastern religion (for example Christianity & Buddhism), the interesting part is the documents that depict Hell exist before the two cultures had any contact at all; but describe the environment with identical descriptions base on my own research.\n\nIf religion made up the concept of "Hell" to make people think twice of their action, then why would two completely different culture with different climate, language and living standard have the same description?\n\nNow I believe Hell is real, very real~

Yes, I absolutely believe there is a heaven and a hell. I know there is because when my son was born I looked at his face and saw that there was no way that he could turn out so perfect without divine intervention. With God comes heaven and hell. If you believe in God you have to believe in the devil and all of the havoc he makes. It is the devils mission to make you believe that he does not exist because that makes it easier for him to work his evil

The hell would be a full place?  \n\nI don't really get the question.  If most people went to hell then most people are in hell.\n\nWhat's the debate?

We are in hell. I have no doubht about that. All the sufferings in the world today made me to come to this conclusion. i dont think there is another hell. This world itself is worser than hell. I think it was heaven once, now definitely it has become hell.

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!

Yes. Both exist, BUT many MANY MANY people have a misconception about what heaven and hell are.  \n\nIf you look at the literal translation from the greek of the word heaven, you will see that it means spending eternity in relationship with God.  We paint the picture of "paradise" because it's the best we can come with to describe spending eternity in relationship wtih Him.  \n\nIf you look at the literal translation from the greek of the word hell, you will see that it means eternal separation from God.  We get the imagery of burning and gnashing of teeth from the Bible which is used to paint the picture of something as bad as spending our eternity separated from God.\n\nNote in both explinations here that I used the word RELATIONSHIP. That is what Christianity is all about.  Where you spend eternity is not about works (what you do or what you don't do) it's about building relationship with Him.

I dont think hell is eternal I cannot fathom a loving G-d that will eternally damn a person for a few bad choices in life. \n\nthat being said I think most of us end up in hell for a bit if only to clear out any sin we have until we receive are reward for what ever good we have done.

Gandhi, me, you, the president - it doesn't matter who. No. He did not go to hell. Life always goes on. This is where reincarnation comes in. You keep living your life until you have become all light and grace. This is what most do not get. What goes around, comes around until you "get it."\n\nHell is said that this place was made for the little naughty angels. Well this is also what people don't get. It is made for the angels. That is their place, not yours. Don't get me wrong though. No doubt many have been there, but it was not from God, well, unless he needed to get a point across because one has been too stubborn. There can be many reasons. But I asure you that Hell is only a place for the angels that have done wrong. The myth of Heaven and Hell is only here to take advantage of others. To control them. To scare them. This is what preachers are now-a-days. They have their leadership and they abuse the position. Pity really. I hope this explains things. Cheers!

I really do believe it is just a state of mind. If there is a hell, I can't imagine that there are really red devils with horns and pointy little sticks. If there is a heaven, I don't think it is some "golden city" in the sky...I have a feeling (note it is just my instinct, no biblical or other religious portrayal) that when we die, we are connected to a new form of life that will possibly be more vivid and advanced than our present form. I believe it will be our "higher self" and we will have more capabilities than we can possibly imagine here on Earth. But, who really knows....

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.

Heaven is where the heart is . . . and so is Hell . . . \n\nIt is how you live your life . . . and your attitude with other people.\n\nHere is one of my question . . . were I state my viewpoint on a subject of evils role in life . . . but I also touch on the good aspect as well.\n\nhttp://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AmUNkTckoEmf8RrtksFgiCjsy6IX?qid=1006032407094

Hell isn't a place, and neither is heaven.  Imagine a "god" so cruel that he would condemn people to hell forever just for not understanding or knowing him or for being misled into the "wrong" religion.\n\nOr think about it from a physical point of view.  By physics principles, the universe is slowly running down.  Hell couldn't burn forever.\n\nReligion is there to comfort people.  It shouldn't be taken literally because it has no foundation in reality.
