Your choice is yours.
All I can say is, Billy Graham was quite a showman. I think all successful preachers are skilled con men.
I think the idea of Hell is imaginary. Fire and brimstone, every kind of torture that the human mind can conjure.
Billy says that God won't send anyone there. He says you have to "choose" to go there. And how do you choose? By saying that you "believe" in Jesus Christ before you die. LOL. That's absurd. Only a sadist would sentence someone to an eternity of torture for something as trivial as that.
Why should we believe a book (the Old Testament) written by Talmudic rabbis who claimed it was the word of God and that they were "His" chosen people? Why should we believe flimflam men like Billy Graham? Can't an all powerful God do better than that? I want proof.
How 'bout when I die and see God, I say "Oh, so you're God. You really do exist. Okay, now I believe." Why can't that be the case with everyone - Hindus, Buddhists, and people of every spiritual persuasion?
But no. You know why? Because Christians want to believe that they are special. They invented a religion in which anyone who doesn't believe what they believe is damned for eternity. That's the loving God that they invented.
Heaven sounds boring. The last thing I want to do is hang around a bunch of dumb ass Christians.
I have no idea if there is an afterlife. But if I have to to live forever, I want it to be fun.

It's amazing how many call the Bible a made up book. Yet as soon as I started reading it and confessing scripture daily, my entire life changed. I've laid hands and seen sickness leave people, I've seen instant manifestations from calling on God's Word. I've seen people under the influence of evil completely transform in personality in 2 days after prayer. I've seen illness leave people after prayer. I've seen all kinds of miracles and God's hand at work in my life in so many ways.
All of this started after I was Baptized and confessed Jesus as my personal Lord and Savior and became a believer.
Mark 16:17-18''And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.''
People think these are just words, but I've seen most of these with my own eyes...
When I was a non believer God was still working in my life. I just didn't recognize it!
I went through something horrible and alone (not alone walking with God), am still going through it, just some things aren't as rough. well sometime later (about a year ago)... I just realized, God was chasing after me with love (not me chasing God), God was there the whole time and I knew it, I was just so lost and I didn't even know how lost I was, I thought around that time right before I got my peace back and got with God again the way I needed, I sure was missing out on what God wanted for me, this is all while.. I thought I 'had' God's peace and was good with God.
I wouldn't have been in a dark place for 3 months. There's so much more I can say, good about God and so many thank you's to God. I choose to be 'real alert and real aware' so am not missing out. I choose to let God help me through the rough times and am gonna walk this path of love. God does a lot more than we even know. etc.
Heaven of course. But it was my choice and I chose to accept Jesus as my personal saviour.
I prayed the sinner's prayer and said out loud that I believe that Jesus died for me and my sins, his hat he was burried and rose again and is coming back.
I said I accept Him as my personal saviour and asked Him to forgive me of my sins and to live in my ā¤ļø heart. In Jesus' name Amen.
I raised my son as a Christian and took him to church with me when he was in diapers. He was baptized on his own and I video taped it. We were so happy.
He is 46 now and still lives a Christian life I am happy to say!
I was baptized in the Pacific ocean when this church I was visiting had a barbeque and baptism that day. I was 26.

There is no "eternity", "heaven" nor "hell", so the question is inherently nonsensical on multiple levels.
Just because you can loosely extend the idea of not seeing an end to something into a concept of there not being an end, that doesn't mean you've conceptualised "eternity". It just means you're not thinking about endings and assuming it has a basis in reality... which it doesn't.
Similarly with "Heaven" and "Hell", you're simply letting your imagination run wild with "good things" or "bad things" respectively, and assuming it is sufficient to simply extend the basic notions towards ends you cannot visualise unto themselves.
For the record, all that awaits us after death is non-existence. Nothingness. You know... the same nothingness we get during non-REM sleep. The absence of experience. It isn't even something to be afraid of, though life is necessarily conditioned to be avoidant of it.Preferably heaven 😅 but that choice isn't up to us. It is up to God and his son Jesus Christ
Heaven of course. Why would I want to go to Hell?
hell... I've been there already :D
what do you think a witch can do in heaven?but minute 3,20-35 seems to contradict minute 2!
? Why would anyone want Hell?
Neither, obviously. Why would anyone want to exist forever? Well, not me. If death isn't the end, and I find myself in either place, I'm going to complain to the manager!
Everlasting life in Thailand in the sun..
Dont fancy fire and brimstone , its an overated concept.
How stupid and short sided. As if this oversimplified binary choice is our only options! ā no way. Those two concepts are human contrivances - not REAL places.
Better to reign in hell than serve in heaven? Not sure Iād reign in hell either tho.
Could I get an Expedia printout of the amenities from both heaven and hell?
Anywhere that exists.
I like the hot weather so i pick hell. Besides all my friends will be there.
Neither. Heaven and hell is a Black Sabbath album under Dio. The concepts of heaven and hell

Anywhere with a buxom babe.
