The bible says “the Kingdom is not meat and drink (material) but righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.” These are all inner qualities of someone in touch with God. Heaven is a spiritual dimension that we all have access to. Jesus said it is WITHIN you which is where we must look to discover those attributes. Jesus prayed that “the kingdom would come in earth as it is in heaven.” God is doing an INSIDE JOB which is the only real way to bring about transformation. First the inner and then the outer.
What is Hell?
The Hebrew word for hell in the OT is 'Sheol' which means a grave.
In the NT the Greek word for hell is 'Hades' which means an unseen place.
Another Greek word for hell fire is 'Ghenna' which was a literal garbage dump that surrounded the city in those days where a continual fire was burning to rid them of garbage and waste. Also the maggots continually fed on the trash (”the worm dieth not”).
As you can see none of these places are afterlife realities where folk are burned forever.
How can you burn a spirit anyway?
