Where and what, exactly, are Heaven and Hell?
I know a young boy who recently told me that in school he had been taught that Heaven was a place filled with precious gems and gold, ruled over by a God (presumably Caucasian) with long white hair and beard!
I also understand some Muslim men think that Paradise is a place full of beautiful virgins just waiting for them to arrive. Others believe that Heaven is like a beautiful tranquil land, with abundant fruit trees and streams.
Hell also has it's own varied descriptions in the minds of believers.
Can anyone throw any light on this subject? What is the truth of this matter? Are Heaven and Hell actually physical locations existing anywhere in the universe? What are your beliefs/knowledge?
Love & Peace
