[This] is a superb essay, but I think you've included too many inconsequential references in the Heaven section, thereby inflating its volume, and then conclude that Heaven is more emphasized based on a count. The references to Hell are direct and compelling; most of the cited references to Heaven could refer to earthly reward or a Heaven of angels with unclear availability to man.--aschlafly 16:03, 14 December 2008 (EST)

Most of the listed references to Heaven are unclear, even upon further reflection. The "Kingdom of God" has an earthly form, for example, and one reference is how difficult it is to get to Heaven!

I wonder which translation you used. I'm going to compare KJV to NIV in references to Hell.--aschlafly 18:10, 14 December 2008 (EST)

I used the New English Bible.--CPalmer 07:01, 15 December 2008 (EST)

May I contribute?

Excellent work,
I am interested in this subject, and would like to do more research and add to your findings. (Possibly the Gospel of John). Would it be ok if I contribute to the essay? --Tim (CPAdmin1)^{talk Vote in my NEW polls} 18:55, 14 December 2008 (EST)

That should be fine. I just found that the KJV references Hell 54 times; the NIV only 14!--aschlafly 19:49, 14 December 2008 (EST)

I was asking the author of the essay. I don't want to interfere with his project if he would prefer to do it himself. --Tim (CPAdmin1)^{talk Vote in my NEW polls} 20:07, 14 December 2008 (EST)
