Default Re: How do you believe in Heaven and Not hell?

How can there not be a hell though? so if i dont believe in christ Poof i just disappear nothing left of ol Gina. but if i believe then i get heaven and all my wishes and the love and protection of god. Why does jesus say we must go through darkness to receive his light? if we arent going into darkness and hell when we die if dont believe? but we have to while were on earth?im confused by the statement. Explain spiritual warfare? And Demons? these things dont exist? or they only exist on earth but dont after we die. even if we arent followers? How is there No punishment? So should i continue to sin because there is no hell i have nothing to fear when i die?? Yeah i dont think so.

Gehenna definition


(originally Ge bene Hinnom; i.e., "the valley of the sons of Hinnom"), a deep, narrow glen to the south of Jerusalem, where the idolatrous Jews offered their children in sacrifice to Molech (2 Chr. 28:3; 33:6; Jer. 7:31; 19:2-6). This valley afterwards became the common receptacle for all the refuse of the city. Here the dead bodies of animals and of criminals, and all kinds of filth, were cast and consumed by fire kept always burning. It thus in process of time became the image of the place of everlasting destruction. In this sense it is used by our Lord in Matt. 5:22, 29, 30; 10:28; 18:9; 23:15, 33; Mark 9:43, 45, 47; Luke 12:5. In these passages, and also in James 3:6, the word is uniformly rendered "hell," the Revised Version placing "Gehenna" in the margin. (See HELL
