heaven and hell

I've been debating with someone who is one of the most diehard Christians I've ever known, and she believes (like nearly all Christians) that you must accept Christ and repent to enter heaven. Now, even as an atheist, I could sort of... almost... strangely accept that. However, she also believes...

Hello everyone! I’m new to forums so this is the first time I’m ever posting on one. The reason I joined is because when I was younger, my teacher always scared us little kids about being bad and going to hell, so I asked her, “how do I go to heaven?” She never gave me much answer except for...

So, I was born and raised in the LDS church and ever since very young, I have heard the same story of the premortal existence where the plan of salvation was presented by Jesus Christ and the alternative plan was presented by Christ and our brother, Lucifer. I was taught that the afterlife...

I like to think that there can be a heaven right after our passing over. But there are also Bible quotes saying that heaven comes only at the end of times. It confuses me. Is it easy to end this confusion?

I have heard that many Christians do not believe that hell is real. I found this to be absurd, but I am open to hearing both sides of the argument. So that is what has lead me to proposing this question, is Hell real? If it is or is not please explain. P.S. I for one do believe it exist. Sorry...

Matthew 25:31-46 talks about The Lord taking the nations of the world and separating them into 2 groups. The sheep are the ones who cared for the sick, gave to the poor, etc., but the Goats did not. Sheep go to heaven, goats to hell. My question is: Do the sheep include atheists and...
