Some cold, hard facts about the heaven and hell doctrine of modern churches and how neither of these ideas,about going to either place is actually supported in your Bible.
Nobody has ever gone to heaven...
John 3:13 (NIV)
"No one has ever gone into heaven except the one who came from heaven—the Son of Man."
The dead sleep in the dust of the earth, in their graves until the resurrection when Jesus returns...
Daniel 12:2 (NIV)
Multitudes who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake: some to everlasting life, others to shame and everlasting contempt.
The dead are in their graves when Jesus returns...
John 5:28-29 (NIV)
"Do not be amazed at this, for a time is coming when all who are in their graves will hear his voice and come out—those who have done what is good will rise to live, and those who have done what is evil will rise to be condemned."
The dead will be raised back to life at the last trump (which is at the end of the tribulation when Jesus returns)...
1 Corinthians 15:52 (NIV)
in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, THE DEAD will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.
The dead have no thoughts, they know nothing...
Ecclesiastes 9:5 (NIV)
For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing;
Jesus rules out of Jerusalem. Not in heaven...
Zechariah 14:16 (NIV)
Then the survivors from all the nations that have attacked Jerusalem will go up year after year to worship the King, the Lord Almighty, and to celebrate the festival of tabernacles.
We rule over the nations on Earth with Him...
Revelation 2:26 (NIV)
To the one who is victorious and does my will to the end, I will give authority over the nations
As for the wicked, they will be destroyed (PERISH) by fire, they don't get eternal life, so it kills them and this time, they are reduced to ashes and stay dead, never to live again.
Malachi 4:1-3 (NIV)
"Surely the day is coming; it will burn like a furnace. All the arrogant and every evildoer will be stubble, and the day that is coming will set them on fire," says the Lord Almighty. "Not a root or a branch will be left to them. But for you who revere my name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its rays. And you will go out and frolic like well-fed calves. Then you will trample on the wicked; THEY WILL BE ASHES under the soles of your feet on the day when i act," says the Lord Almighty.
The lake of fire is THE SECOND DEATH... death is death, it is not eternal life...
Revelation 21:8 (NIV)
"But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars—they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. THIS IS THE SECOND DEATH."
It is extremely blasphemous to claim that God would horribly torture someone on fire for all eternity. And it is obviously proven false when scripture clearly states that ONLY THE RIGHTEOUS get eternal life. Not the wicked!
John 3:16 (NIV)
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
Now look up the word PERISH online, it means to be utterly destroyed, not live forever. Death is death, it is not eternal life on fire or otherwise.
