Are heaven and hell real places?

Are they real “places?” - No, but the problem is your question puts it in PHYSICAL terms, so I have to wonder if you’re thinking that way, too.

Like the majority of people who cannot imagine non-corporeal existence, the question itself is erroneous & misleading. Heaven & hell don’t exist materially, but that does not mean there is no ultimate reward OR no consequences for our actions. You will still be responsible for how you led your life & treated others.

Death is not an End and we don’t simply wink out of existence. Energy cannot be destroyed, so when you die, your life energy or essence transforms into spiritual energy – a soul. Your consciousness continues on as pure thought and one’s very existence is determined by that sense of self.

The Afterlife is most definitely real, though it doesn’t exist in reality *as we understand it.* Some souls find peace & ecstasy; others do not. What happens to your soul or consciousness depends entirely upon you.

The answer is, of course, a definite possibly. As no one in recent history (shop for individuals in scripture who may or would possibly not have existed, I don't know, I have no idea them in my view) has surely died and are available again to tell us simply what happened over a cup of tea, the whole lot is a concept. However that is additionally the excellent news! Due to the fact no one rather knows a hundred% what occurs to the soul/ghost/vigor/aura while you die, your concept that you've made up simply now has as much evidence behind it as the idea persons made up thousands of years ago. Keep in intellect science will not tell you if there's a heaven or a hell. All science has managed to uncover for a fact is that you do not take your body with you whilst you die. So, if you are completely happy thinking there is a heaven and/or hell, go ahead and think it. Should you don't seem to be blissful pondering there's a heaven and/or hell, then don't. If faith isn't making you glad, there isn't any actual motivation for following it. For all we all know, none of this is actual and we all simply exist hypothetically. Possibly the question will not be if heaven or hell exists, but as an alternative if we are able to show that we exist. And if we exist, what are we? Are we the body? The electrical pathways in our mind? The vigor that flows by means of us? The quarks and neutrinos and different subatomic particles that kind that power? In the greater snapshot of mysteries, heaven and hell hardly ever appear important. But, that's yet another matter entirely.

Yes! Some people have been given real visions of heaven and/or hell or experienced one of them in near death experiences. These three videos show examples. The last link is a test you can do to see where you are currently headed.

How to know if you are on your way to heaven or hell http://www.needgod.com/

Heaven. Yes, But Hell? I don't Think so

Heaven is very much real,right here,the good old earth.Hell is a waste,why would god create hell just to punish the vulnerable humans.

Yes

Yahweh says; 'Definitely. I live in heaven and I have prepared a hell for all who chose to do bad.'

Judgment day is here, and it behooves all to repent on bended knees, in sackcloth and ashes, (means to be dead on serious), praying for Holy Spirit.

Best wishes to you and yours, from Yahweh/Jehovah God, Jesus God, Moses the angel, and Christine Anne the prophetess.

Heaven, not likely, but maybe. Hell- this is it

No, they are fictional places from the mythology of the ancient Middle East.

You should believe in what you want, personally I believe in them. Why not believe? I would prefer to believe in something, that could be good, could happen to you when you die instead of thinking that you turn into nothing. Why not have that hope? Believe in what you want. Its your choice, but I believe
