Let me imagine for a moment that I am dead, and around me is hell.
If so, this idea comforts me; it makes life more manageable.
Nothing can make life in hell easier.
I come to a contradiction. Hence the Earth is a mixture of hell and Paradise.
I'm not a Christian, so I'm sure that you and I won't agree about what will happen to people in the spirit world after they die, but I thought I would share my personal perspective anyway. Speaking as a medium and spiritualist, I don't believe in the afterlife as it is represented in the Bible, and I don't believe that the spiritual realm is permanently confined to heaven and hell, assuming that these eternal realms even exist. As I've already stated, I've seen and experienced far too many paranormal events that contradict what the Bible says about death and the afterlife for me to maintain such beliefs. To be honest, it's one reason why I'm no longer a Christian.
I realize that you and other Bible-believing Christians don't believe that it's possible for the living to interact with and communicate with the spirits of dead people, but that has been my personal experience for the past fifteen years, and seeing, hearing, and feeling the presence of the dead has been a part of my life since I was six years old. And for the record, I am not trying to persuade you to believe me because, as far as I'm concerned, the choice to believe or not is entirely up to you. I won't debate or argue with you about it either. I share my experiences and present my evidence (as I further described in a previous
post here), and then I let the chips fall where they may. I let skeptics make up their own minds about whether or not to accept psychic medium abilities and the paranormal.
