If there is no heaven then there is no God, and if there is no hell then there is no devil. If there is no God or Devil then why do we have to die? If the earth and everything in it came about from a scientific standpoint then why don't we live forever? Why does plants, organisms, people and animals all die? If we all die then why can't we all live.
As humans we create things, form structure and make rules. If we just haphazardly came about then why do we have structure, get things organized and have a judicial system with rules, regulations and laws in place. If we just haphazardly came about then every thing we do would be out of order and nothing would make sense. Even the animals have structure. A lot of the things we know we did not acquire this knowledge on our own. Someone higher than us taught us. I believe that that someone is God. I cannot deny this fact no matter how hard I try. As I look around me I see God in everything. I see him in the tallest mountains, just like I see him in the tallest skyscraper, I see him in the wilderness as well as the forest, I see him in the tallest tree as well as the tallest house, I see him in every animal, as well as all people, I see him in all plants, as well as the sun, stars, moon and planets. Coincidentally they all have order and a cycle that they follow. I see God in the wind and the rain as well as the tallest vessel sailing the deepest ocean. How can I not see God in all of this and how can I not see him in every human being. No matter how downright wicked and cruel a person may be I still see God. Why? Because we are all created in his image, in the image of God he created us, male and female he created them ( Genesis 1:27).
So if there is no God then how do we know that to murder someone is wrong. If there is no God then there is no right and no wrong. There is no sin because people would just do what they feel without giving an account to anyone. What kind of world would this be if everyone did what they wanted when they wanted without any acknowledgement to it being right or wrong. No one would have any morals and no conscience to convict or set us free.
Because there is a great and mighty awesome God we do not get to kill without a cause or commit sin without consequence. Yahweh gave us the commandments and rules to follow centuries ago. We have no excuse and no concrete reason to deny his existence. All evidence proves that their is a higher power, beyond our capabilities.
Isn't our law books and court system based on the commandments? And if they are not then who told us or taught us right from wrong. We can say our parents but they learned from someone who learned from someone else who also learned from someone. If there is no God and no heaven then there is no spirit and God is a spirit and he is the holy spirit and we all have a spirit as well as a conscience. We all must give an account for our actions, either in a court of law before man or in the judgement before God. If there is no heaven and no God then we and everything in this universe came about of our selves, we were born of our selves we are ruled by each other, there is no higher power, so we are free to do as we see fit. I am certain that there are some people who would like for the majority of people to think this way but I cannot. I know that is was and is still Gods grace that sustains me. It is God who wakes me up each morning, if I did not believe in God the enemy (that old serpent devil) would have destroyed me long ago. I believe in God, I trust and pray to God who helps me out of difficult situations.
Since there is a God we have heaven, and since we have heaven we have hell and a devil. Many people say they have seen heaven during near death experiences, others say they have seen hell. I remember being told of a man who was dying and saw flames and hell before he died. Are these figments of ones imagination or does heaven and hell really exist. We are told that God lives in heaven and that the devil Also lived in heaven. Due to sin he was kicked out better yet hurled to the earth. So he is not in hell but lives right here on earth. We don't see him because he is also a spirit but he is that wicked and evil spirit which goes about creating havoc and causing confusion among humans. Heaven once was his home but no longer. Now he gets to go to hell that place prepared for him and the angels who rebelled along with him. Every human who rebells against God also gets to go there. We are told that hell is a place of intense heat, and torment. There is no comfort or happiness in hell. If there is no heaven or hell then when we die, we are just dead, there is no hereafter or afterlife, no soul or spirit, no standing before the judgement, no going to hell no nothing the end. That within itself sounds worse to me than believing in a God who created all of this and formed man of the dust and is sending his son to come back for us because we are his, he created us and we cannot allow anything or anyone to discourage us from believing in him. Isn't it Galatians 3:1 who says" oh foolish Galatians, who bewitched you into not believing?
As people we tend to think highly of ourselves, we love who we are regardless of skin color, we tend to love and accept the family we are born into regardless of wealth or poverty. We each love and celebrate the culture and life we have been given. Why not thank the one who gave it to us. Since we were created by someone with great love, skill and wisdom why deny him. If there really is a heaven and a hell why not make the right choice now instead of waiting to find out in the end where there is no turning back, where the worms and maggots do not die, where the fire is not quenched.
Pick and choose, in heaven the streets are made of Gold, heavens gate is made of precious stones, and the light of God shines eternally. In hell it is hot, the worms don't die. Also if the worms do not die, will we be given a new body, the kind that can withstand worms eating you continuously, hellfire burning continuously. Worms only eat decayed rotted flesh so how pleasant can hell be. Who can imagine. In heaven we will be given new bodies and new names. So just to be on the safe side, try life, the everlasting life with God in heaven and not the devil in hell.
