If I understand you correctly, you want to know why Satan would choose to blow his citizenship in heaven?\n\nI think pride blinded him.  He didn't know about hell.  Hell wasn't a reality until the first betrayal so far as I 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.

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.

Both will go to hell, and yes you will along with everybody else, including Christians. All go to hell at death.The original Hebrew word was Sheol and the Greek word was Hades, properly translated they mean: the grave or a pit.Another word also translated as hell was Gehenna(Greek),this is an actual place now known as the Hinnom Valley in Jerusalem. This is a place that always had a fire and they burnt trash, animal carcasses, and live babies were sacrificed to molech the great owl god. Look at a map its on there. In Psalm 16:10, & 49:15 David knew he was going to hell (grave) and would be resurected from it.Many of the older Bibles such as Geneva properly translated these words as grave or pit. It is impossible to have three totally different words and translate them all as hell. In the 1600's when the KJV Bible was made ,the meaning of the word hell was to put in the ground so when they changed the wording to hell they understood what it meant.If you look up Gehenna in Websters dictionary today you will see it tells you the same thing I said. Apparently its to difficult for most Christians to actually look up the meaning of a word, they prefer to listen to the lies that their preacher spews from the pulpit. My God will put you in hell when you die,the grave, and regardless of your beliefs or how you lived you will be resurected for judgement. To receive eternal life you must know Christ as saviour, if not you will be thrown into the lake of fire Rev. 20:14,this is the second death, where people are consumed instantly and permanently. No eternal suffering and torment.I am a Christian and I think its a shame that churches use these kind of scare tactics to keep people in church. Look at below website for many other anti-church / pro-God topics

This version of Hell is non-existent.  Hell is an eternity in the absence of God.  Fire and brimstone is a man made myth.

IF you believe in God than you should believe in heaven.  Heaven is where(ever) God is.  Heaven is Paradise, the other side of the gulf from where hell is.  Both are "holding places" until Judgment day.  There is life after the death of this flesh body.  (Absent from this flesh, present with The LORD)  It's those in hell that may face the second death, the death of the soul on Judgment Day , after the millieum, the 1000 years when God throws satan and all that are in hell (all of hell) into the lake of fire.

Dear Ryefleit, This is an honest question with an honest answer. The Bible makes clear that there is a heaven and Hell. The Bible say's God is a Judge who will sit on his throne and judge our sins. he has revealed this fact to us through his Holy word. How will you do on Judgement day?\n \nLet me ask you a few questions.................\n\nHave you ever lied (even once--fibs, white lies, etc.)? Ever stolen (anything--the value is irrelevant)? Jesus said, "Whoever looks upon a woman to lust after her, has committed adultery already with her in his heart." Have you ever looked with lust? If you have said "Yes" to these three questions, by your own admission, you are a lying, thieving, adulterer at heart; and we’ve only looked at three of the Ten Commandments. Nothing you’ve ever done is hid from His holy eyes. Will you be innocent or guilty on the Day of Judgment? Listen to your conscience. You know that you will be guilty, and therefore end up in Hell. That’s not God’s will. He provided a way for you and I to be forgiven. \nHe sent His Son to take our punishment: "God commended His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." He was bruised for our iniquities. Jesus then rose from the dead and defeated death. \nYour own so-called “goodness” can’t get you into heaven any more than mine could.  Jesus is the only way to Heaven. He is the "Door," the only "mediator." There is salvation in no other name, so pray something like this: "Dear God, I repent of all of my sins (confess them). This day I put my trust in Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. Please forgive me and grant me your gift of everlasting life. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen."

I AGREE W/ WHAT YOU SAID 100%. BASICALLY HELL IS FOR THE DEVIL, GOD DOESN'T WANT US TO GO THERE BUT SOME PEOPLE WILL. ONE DAY GOD WILL THROW THE DEVIL IN HELL! PRAISE GOD! THAT WILL BE A GREAT DAY. AND HE WILL SPEND ETERNITY THERE. SO THAT'S WHY HE MADE HELL TO BEGIN W/.

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....

Hell is Nonexistence. Heaven is, well. You know what Heaven is.

An argument could be made -- a yin yang comparison.  Even from a more traditional Judaeo-Christian perspective, since god is omnipresent, couldn't he be both god and satan?  A method of introducing free will, perhaps.

To not believe in Heaven and Hell is to be truly ignorrant.\n\nEspecially when they are placed right in front of you, here on Earth. How blind can you be? Ofcourse there is a Heaven and a Hell. People just choose to ignore it so they can continue living their sinful ways. They can deny it and argue it all they want, for in the end, they will have to face it eventually.

Okay...\n\nSo let's not deal with the "God exists" theory.\n\nHow about the God(s) OTHERS believed in instead.\n\nAre you going to tell me that cause they DIDN'T hear about Christ that THEY were wrong?\n\nHere's something else. MANY religions do NOT believe in Hell. So, how do you explain their beliefs? Are THEY wrong? How do you know? How do you know YOU aren't wrong.\n\nI believe that the WHOLE religion thing as a whole is just messed up.\n\nWhy should ANYONE believe, or pound others in the head to make them believe that what THEY know is right? Who says so? Why are the Baptists right? Or the Buddhists? Or the Jews? The Islamic? The Catholics? The Pagans?\n\nWHy can we not let everyone just go ON with their life. If they are happy, leave them be. If you are happy, just be content.

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

In almost every religion, both antiquated and modern, there is a conceptualization of some sort of 'heaven' 'nirvana' and hell.  \n\nI don't think any one person or religion can claim it.  However, what is interesting is the human need for this sort of metaphysical understanding.\n\nIf we create a hell, why?  What purpose does it serve? How does it help us organize our spirituality and our morals?\n\nDo we need a hell to scare us into morality?  If we need to be scared into a sense of morality... is it really morality?

Heaven and Hell are supposed to be in the Spiritual realm unseen by the human eyes.  I am Atheist so its up to you what you believe and dont believe.\n\nThere was this one guy who by a an active Volcano who said he heard screams coming from the crevice with lava flowing under him. He had recorded it, Ill try to find the website. I believe its rubbush but meh.
