What if we are in hell now?

Many atheists purport that God is evil, and that the way Christians describe God gives God the illusion of being evil or heartless..... but my question to you is, how do you know this is not hell? How do you know you were not already in heaven, and kicked out?

Perhaps this world around us IS hell, and that to regain our status, we must prove to God, ruler of heaven, that we are again worthy. Maybe every new life here on Earth (hell) is a new test for us. When you die, you are either judged to be worthy of returning to heaven, or you are reborn with a blank slate and another chance.

God doesn't kill anyone out of hate, he takes the lives of those who have already ruined their chances in that life, or of those who will immediately be taken to heaven. He either gives them a new chance in a fresh start, or sees they are worthy of returning.

When you are sent to hell, you are not sent to a new place, you are simply sent here to earth. Continue sinning, and you will spend eternity here in suffering. Accept Jesus and his righteous way, and you will be returned to heaven, you will be saved. You are in Satan's realm now, and you must overcome him and his tests to be worthy.

May God bless you all, and remember Jesus is the way and the light.

    When we read of the "world" in the New Testament, we are reading the Greek word cosmos. Cosmos most often refers to the inhabited earth and the people who live on the earth, which functions apart from God. Satan is the ruler of this "cosmos" (John 12:31; 16:11; 1 John 5:19).

    The 4 Veda's written in Sanskrit around 3500 years ago gave rise to Hinduism which teaches about Maya – The Malevolent illusion and Samsara – Mechanical Karma REALITY! - The outer Kingdom, empirical knowledge, and according to Christianity - The Angel of Death ~ Seraphims" Keter - Crown Divine Plan.

    Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.

    Albert Einstein.

    There is no greater mystery than this; that being the reality we seek to gain reality.

    Get the book "23 Questions about Hell" by Bill Wiess. In the back of the book is a DVD and he explains his experience when the Lord put him in hell for only 23 minutes. You will then understand. Right now to a christian hell is on earth, this is the worst it will get but to a non- christian..heaven is on earth because this is as good as it will ever get. Remember we all live forever, it's just a matter of location and you just can't get there by being good. You have to have a personal relationship with God.

    If we'n hell, then ain't so bad. If we'n heaven, then ain't so good. Then what on earth can we claim these designative human natures to be ?....energieses? (pronounced 'inner Jesus', but legend has it one must forgive a dead 40's Nazi and proliferate a genocidal mind-set explanar so those events don't happen again on the planet... in order to see it(word)---don't believe it but so poor prolific germans can take their heads out of the sands and speak again)

    Here is a true description of hell right out of the Bible. Ask yourself after seeing this if that is where we are now.

    Hell was created for Satan and his minions, (hell or whatever they call it its different

    in other languages like Gehenna was not made for mankind) this planet was not created for Satan it was created for us to live on temporarily and then move on to eternity.

    This is however a testing ground that is why it feels like hell sometimes, but it is not.

    Hey! You got one point right.

    The rest of your comment I'll chock up to ignorance which I'm going to ignore in the hopes that with that one truth you discovered might unchain your brain from Dogmatic brain washing and figure the rest out.

    But I have little hope of that occurring within your next several lifetimes here in Purgatory.

    Yeah it's hell. I asked the same question.

    Atheists do not believe in a god, so they do not believe he is evil.

    They know that the holy writings , particularly the OT, has a god who is vindictive, and cruel.

    They wonder why anyone would want that for a god.
