"The Chicago Manual of Style and the AP Stylebook both have these words as lowercase. And if you're deeply religious, well sorry, 
but one of the few Liturgical style guides I have seen also has it as lowercase. The only time you would capitalize Heaven and 
Hell is if these were distinct places, say in a work of fiction."

Possibly worth adding entries for that version and also 神は自ら助くる者を助く, which is in GG5.

I ran into this as 天は自ら助くものを助く (i.e two 助く, not 助くる + 助く). might be an error, but a fairly common one.
