Having been raised in a christian household, the concepts of Heaven and Hell have always puzzled me. More so in regards to the concept of Hell than Heaven.
From what I have been taught about God, he is supposed to be infinitely compassionate. So much so that he sent his only son Jesus to die so that we may be freed from the curse of our sins and become closer to him.
Yet this being of infinite compassion, should the person decide not to accept Jesus as his savior, would allow the people whom he loves so much to fall into a realm of eternal suffering and immense pain? :sarcastic That just doesn't make sense to me. If God were truly infinitely compassionate, the possibility of anyone going to Hell would be nonexistent, wouldn't it?
This brings us to the debate topic: Do Heaven and Hell exist?
Me? I personally feel that Heaven and Hell don't exist in the literal sense commonly accepted by a good deal of the world. I feel that they are metaphorical realms used to describe our world. This world is ours to do with as we will, and it has the potential to be either a Heaven or a Hell. It is our thoughts and actions that determine which of these realms our world becomes.
What about you guys? Do Heaven and Hell actually exist? Are they completely fictitious? Or maybe This world is both Heaven and Hell? What do you think?
