Most churches use their signs to generate interest and conversation. Given the number of posts on Chansen's topic, it certainly worked for Sandford United Church.  It also raises a question I don't recall hearing answered here on the Cafe;  does Heaven, Hell, the "afterlife" exist?  Where do we go when we draw our last breath?

What is Hell? 

Where is Hell? 

Hell did not seem to exist in the Old Testament.  In the New Testament it seems the early Christians borrowed the idea of hell from Greek mythology and Hades.

Is Hell a place of eternal burning or a place were the "wicked" have one glorious party without hangovers and std's?

Or is hell a metaphor and if so a metaphor for what?

Have you ever thought about the possibility that they don't exist?

Having observed the different ways of life of many Christians and their observations of the Bible, I want to ask you all this question. Keep in mind, there is a difference.

Do you live to go to Heaven? Or do you live to evade Hell?

I have no answer to that question myself, because I live for neither one. It used to be both answers for me actually, but that is no longer the case.

About seven years ago, I was challenged with the idea of where Satan came from and told that the ancient Hebrews didn’t believe in Satan. Well, that just didn’t fly with me because I knew that the Torah (the five books of Moses) was the foundation for the Psalms and the Prophets (the rest of the Old Testament writings) and the Old Testament was the foundation for the New Testament writing such as the gospels and the apostolic writings. And I knew, or at least I thought I knew, the Old Testament clearly taught about Satan.

Where will we go when we die? Heaven? Hell? Spirit World? or do we just rot in the ground?

This question has always bothered me.

I do believe there is a God, but no Heaven or Hell. Does that make me a bad person? I do believe there is a afterlife for us, but where?

When people died 2100-3000 years ago, where did they go if Jesus wasn't born yet?

Sorry for all these  questions, I'm not a very religious person.

Hi Everyone!!

I hope you're having a groovy day!!
