What is "Heaven" and what is "Hell"?
Hell
Its hard to talk about Hell in todays world. People dont want to think about judgment and eternal punishment, they find the thought repulsive, they dont like it, so they choose not to believe it. But its not as easy as that. No one can make a thing untrue simply by determining not to believe it. The Bible teaches that there is a literal place called Hell, a place burning with fire and brimstone.
Heaven
There are two descriptions of Heaven, in the book of Revelation. The first is early in the book where John is given a view into Heaven before the judgment of the Earth, and the second is near the end of Revelation as a description of the new Jerusalem is given. Heaven is described as a place of laughter without tears, life without death and pleasure without pain.
But what about those who grew up in another religion and do not believe in Jesus Christ. They may not of commited any sins in their lifetime but do not accept Jesus as their lord. Do they still get sent to Hell or do they get sent to heaven. In the bible it also says that god will grant forgiveness if one asks for it. Does that mean anyone can commit any ammount of sins ask for forgiveness and be let into heaven?
