How do you imagine Heaven?
(sorry if I haven't spelt heaven right)
And how do you imagine hell?
People often imagine heaven as high in the clouds with big gold houses and stuff. But I imagine heaven as snowy and white, but sunny.
People also imagine hell as fiery, but I imagine hell more as an empty, dark, cold and silent abyss which goes on forever.
What's your image of heaven and hell?

I think it is beyond imagining, because we don't have anything comparable to reference.
However we can get a taste of heaven (and a taste of hell) in this present world. I have had both. A taste of hell when one day many years ago I told God to get out of my life - and He did, for a while; and a taste of heaven, which I have experienced many times, after having received the gift of God - the precious Holy Spirit, just as it is written:
"What no eye has seen,
what no ear has heard,
and what no human mind has conceived”—
the things God has prepared for those who love him—
these are the things God has revealed to us by his Spirit.
The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God. For who knows a person’s thoughts except their own spirit within them? In the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. What we have received is not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may understand what God has freely given us."
I Corinthians 2:9-12
listen to some men who got a taste of heaven and a taste of hell....

Heaven is Earth with better people.
Hell is Earth with even worse people than we are now.
Not complicated. Hell and Heaven are frequently found on Earth.
Heaven is wherever humans are caring and loving. And Hell...
Well, I am sure you can think of a few names.
Kosovo. Manhattan. Nanking. Treblinka. Leningrad. Darfur. Rwanda. Campuchea. Hiroshima.

the moment i'm in right now. even though life is infinitely meek, I am in heaven. in life I can do as I please. in death there is nothing. how can you not see that the reality we create is heaven and hell.
you are in command of the life you live. think hellish thoughts live a hellish life. one's hell is anothers heaven, ones heaven is another's hell
