If only our souls go to heaven or hell, how can we feel pain?

Question

Since pain is a feeling that originates in the brain, how can we be expected to believe that we could ever be hurt if we went to hell, since our souls are not the source of pain?

Answer 1

Definition: In the Bible, “soul” is translated from the Hebrew ne´phesh and the Greek psy·khe´. Bible usage shows the soul to be a person or an animal or the life that a person or an animal enjoys. To many persons, however, “soul” means the immaterial or spirit part of a human being that survives the death of the physical body. Others understand it to be the principle of life. But these latter views are not Bible teachings.

Gen. 2:7: “Jehovah God proceeded to form the man out of dust from the ground and to blow into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man came to be a living soul.” (Notice that this does not say that man was given a soul but that he became a soul, a living person.

1 Cor. 15:45: “It is even so written: ‘The first man Adam became a living soul.’ The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.....1 Pet. 3:20: “In Noah’s days . . . a few people, that is, eight souls, were carried safely through the water..........Gen. 1:20, 21, 24, 25: “God went on to say: ‘Let the waters swarm forth a swarm of living souls* . Ezek. 18:4: “Look! All the souls—to me they belong. As the soul of the father so likewise the soul of the son—to me they belong. The soul* that is sinning—it itself will die.” (*Hebrew reads “the ne´phesh

Read eclesiastes 9;5-10 The living are conscious that they will die, but as for the dead they are not conscious of nothing at all....therfore if they are not conscious how can they feel pain.

Ps. 146:4: “His spirit [Hebrew, from ru´ach] goes out, he goes back to his ground; in that day his thoughts do perish.

Hell or hades or sheol in hebrew mean the grave, the place to where we all go after death.

Job 14:13, Dy: “[Job prayed:] Who will grant me this, that thou mayst protect me in hell,* and hide me till thy wrath pass, and appoint me a time when thou wilt remember me?” (God himself said that Job was “a man blameless and upright, fearing God and turning aside from bad.” why would job who was already in immense pain pray to go to hell which was far worse? what he was praying for was to die then his suffering would end.

Hell is a false teaching and is not biblical
