Does Hell and Paradise Exist? This question was previously considered purely theological. For believers, there was no doubt that the soul was responsible for what man had done. Atheists completely denied the existence of the soul and everything with it
related.
Origin of the concept
According to the majority, Hell is described in the Bible. Since so many facts set forth in the Holy Scriptures find both direct and indirect evidence, it seems that there is no sense in doubting whether Hell exists. However, the Bible clearly says that a person who does not have the Holy Faith, does not keep the commandments, is waiting for the Fiery Hell or the Second Death. Many inattentive readers believe that this concept is synonymous with Hell (the place of eternal torment), but the Bible does not teach this. And the physical evidence of Hell to this day is not found. Why?
The psychological background of the concept of "Hell"
If you do not take into account what is actually written in the Bible, and look at the question, so to speak, from the point of view of a person who lived about two thousand years ago, then you can take a different view of the idea of the existence of Hell. For pagans who do not know the rules and restrictions, perhaps some framework was needed to restrain the manifestation of instincts. To make people accept the rules conducive to their development, not to annihilate 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, one involuntarily wondered if Hell existed. What awaits him next? The limiting tool turned out to be quite powerful.
Ideas of modern scientists
If earlier priests placed Hell underground, they even called at what depth it is located, how many logs are used annually, now scientists are approaching the study of the issue more widely. Some believe that hell can exist in a different dimension. But American astronauts saw "evidence" of the existence of the underworld in space. This happened when studying solar activity. Astronauts, conducting observations in orbit, saw a prominence, torn off from the sun. It looked like a ball of fire, inside of which silhouettes of flaming people were visible. Some scientists, considering the question of whether Hell exists, put forward assumptions about the possibility of its placement on very hot planets, of which there are many in space.
Different point of view
Interesting fact. People believe or do not believe in the possibility of Hell and Paradise, but many theories and teachings have been created with this fact in mind. The concepts are so voluminous and capacious in the worldview of modern mankind that it is almost impossible to get around them. For example, many esotericists claim that Hell and Paradise exist. And death is not necessary. By our thoughts and feelings we ourselves place our soul in one or another “place”, depending on the worldview. This happens during our earthly life. Why wait for the transition to another world? Already in this, a person can find out if Hell exists if he will torment himself and others with claims and anger. Is the light taken from the soul as a result of its fall not the absence of Paradise, and the darkness filling the whole man because of his eternal problems is not Hell? It turns out that the evidence in every 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, man does not wish others harm. So for him Paradise is a reality. If he falls to vices, then his soul is already in Hell!
