I'm not sure about actually being "shown" the "real" Heaven and hell. (I never capitalize hell because it is an evil place in which the devil resides). I think, though, that I have been shown Heaven and hell here on Earth. Heaven is my home, this home of my friends' where I am typing this, Heaven is our little church and the joy of being hugged and kissed and blessed by people on Sundays and Wednesdays. hell is that horrible place where I volunteer at the shelter for battered women and children, the heartbreak and abject misery and pain. hell is also the jails where we bring the Living Water of Christ to inmates who are down so far in their own hell they have created.
I cannot judge another Christian, and I don't know if these folks are telling the truth or not. That is between them and God. I can only speak of my experience with Heaven and hell as it is to me in this temporal existence. If God wishes me to see other things, I will have to wait for Him to show me.
I would try to understand that perhaps these people really believe what they are saying, and maybe pray for them. Then, pray for God to open your eyes to the real truth of the matter.
God bless,
Star
