Always Sunny in Philadelphia asked:


I will admit that I have not read the bible much, so I do not know too much about it. So my question is, what in the bible makes us believe there really is a heaven and a hell? We think of heaven as a great beautiful place, and hell as an ugly horrible place. What passages in the bible give us this image of heaven and hell?

One sees this all the time a question by an atheist is answered with Biblical quotes. Or when someone asks a question about some mystical belief say magic than we also see a lot of Biblical quotes to show how wrong it is. I don’t understand this if a person does not believe in the Bible or accept it as authoritative what is the use of using passages from the Bible.

“I don’t believe in the Bible.”

“Oh but says right here in the Bible that you should believe it!?”
Sorry Happy but when I have a discussion with a Christian I may use Bible quotes since this is what they believe I do not have to believe it myself. It is like communicating on their level (not meant offensively) since the Bible is their cornerstone of belief. I may use it to for instance show them what I may see as a fallacy. But using Bible passages to convince me of its truth would be ineffective on the other hand.

How many people according to the Bible will parish during all the tribulations and chaos till the end?

Islamic Hadiths are also welcome as a source since they both share the coming of both the Anti-Christ(Djal) and Jesus(peace be upon him), who will lead an army and defeat the Anti-Christ.

Also does the so called Planet X approaching or the earth nearing the turbulent equator stage, if either true, coincide with these events or are they a distance apart?

Peace!
