Are Heaven and Hell real?

Published by admin under For skeptics

Yes, heaven and hell are real. Terribly and wonderfully real. But how does one know that heaven and hell are real? Before we answer that, let us ask you - do you know that they are not real? If you “know” that they are not real, how do you know that?
