Do Hell and Heaven exist? This question was previously considered purely theological. For believers, there was no doubt that the soul is responsible for the deeds of man. Atheists completely denied the possibility of the existence of the soul and everything with itconnected.
Origin of the concept
According to most, Hell is told in the Bible. Since so many of the facts set forth in Holy Scripture find both direct and indirect evidence, there seems to be no point in doubting whether Hell exists. However, the Bible unequivocally says that a person who does not have the Holy Faith, who does not keep the commandments, is waiting for Gehenna Fiery or Second Death. Many inattentive readers believe that this concept is synonymous with Hell (a place of eternal torment), but the Bible does not teach this. Yes, and physical evidence of Hell has not been found to this day. Why?
Psychological background of the concept of "Hell"
If you do not take into account what is actually written in the Bible, but look at the question, so to speak, from the point of view of a person who lived about two thousand years ago, thenthe idea of the existence of Hell can be regarded differently. For pagans who do not know the rules and restrictions, perhaps some framework was needed to restrain the manifestation of instincts. In order to force people to accept the rules that promote their development, not to destroy each other indiscriminately, it was necessary to give them a "stick" and a "carrot". Hearing the ideas that Jesus conveyed to people, as well as their misinterpretation after the death of Christ, a person involuntarily wondered if Hell exists? What's next for him? The limiting tool proved to be powerful enough.
Ideas of modern scientists
If earlier the priests placed Hell underground, even called how deep it is, how many logs are used annually, now scientists are approaching the study of the issue more widely. Some believe that Hell may exist in another dimension. But the American astronauts saw "proof" of the existence of the underworld in space. This happened when studying solar activity. Astronauts observing in orbit saw a prominence detached from the star. It looked like a ball of fire, inside which the silhouettes of flaming people were visible. Some scientists, considering the question of whether Hell exists, put forward assumptions about the possibility of its location on very hot planets, of which there are many discovered in space.
Different point of view
Interesting fact. Whether or not people believe in the possibility of Hell and Paradise, but many theories and teachings have been created taking into account this fact as proven. Concepts are so voluminous and succinctly laid down in the worldviewmodern humanity that it is almost impossible to bypass them. For example, many esotericists claim that Hell and Heaven exist. And you don't have to wait for death. We ourselves, with our thoughts and feelings, place our soul in one or another “place”, depending on the worldview. This happens even during our earthly life. Why wait for the transition to another world? Already in this, a person can find out whether Hell exists if he torments himself and others with pretensions and malice. Isn't the light taken from the soul due to its fall into sin the absence of Paradise, and the darkness that fills the whole person because of his eternal problems is not Hell? It turns out that the evidence of each person lives in the soul. There is no need for experiments and experiments, you just need to listen to your feelings, analyze them. If faith is strong, a person does not wish harm to others. So for him Paradise is a reality. If he descends to vices, then his soul is already in Hell!
