[P-Marlowe]

Based on your interpretation how do you know if there is going to be a literal heaven and hell? Why can't these be just symbols of states of mind, i.e. since Jesus said He would be with us always and we are told He is in us, why can't the place He has gone to prepare for us be our hearts and minds? Why does it have to be a physical place since the New Jerusalem or Zion can symbolize the church and Armageddon can symbolize anywhere? Why can't hell, based on your system, just be a symbol of absence from God, i.e. death? Why does it have to be a physical place of eternal torment when eternity might be just a symbol of what's beyond physical life?

Those are darn good points. And darn good questions. You should go to law school or something.
