What Happens When You Go To Hell?

Question

I mean, we won't have out physical bodies, just our souls. Our souls can't feel pain, so how do you get tortured?

Answer 1

We usually spend the weekend by the pool.

Answer 2

Good question; you won't be tortured according to the manuscripts; the lake of fire is called that because the only one who can condemn a living soul to it is God Himself, who is a "consuming fire". So, hence the nickname "lake of fire";
It will be a "turning to ashes from within". A person is blotted out of existance, even the memory of them is erased; as if they never were.
No torture, quick and easy; the lake of fire after that event is covered over and not in use ever again after that. The only thing that is forever and ever is the smoke from it, which rises up forever and ever - a Hebrew saying (idiom).

I know this is not what is normally taught, but then most of whats actually written isn't taught in the churches of today; if I went into any one of the large churches and taught directly from the original manuscripts, I would be thrown out on my ***, and thats the truth.
I think this is mostly because the Word of God would shine the truth on the tripe they teach.
It's no surprize to me that so many people turn away from God; they make him out to be a God who will punish you severely for eating fruit, and then say he loves,loves, loves you.
He sounds like a freakin' schitzo.
But thats not really Him, its the nutcases who are so-called "church leaders".

Answer 3

Hell is a state of mind. If you never experienced it, you are very lucky, or very young. The bible uses metaphorical language. The fire is not to be taken literally, hell-fire are exterme and painful states of people's minds which can, or need not be brought about by material circumstances. "Hell" leads people to suicide or insanity. What worse could there be?

And Souls can feel pain, too. Pain is not limited to the physical body. Were you never hurt in your heart?

Read "Rational Spirituality" available on the Dhaxem website, if you understand it, it will explain all this in a wider context.

"And 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." - Genesis 2:7
A man is a soul.
"The soul that is sinning—it itself will die." - Ezekiel 18:4
We're not immortal. There's nothing in us that survives after death.
"In the sweat of your face you will eat bread until you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken. For dust you are and to dust you will return.” - Genesis 3:19
What was Adam before he was created? Dust. Where did he go after he died? To dust.
Where was Adam before he existed? Nowhere. Where did he go after he ceased to exist? Nowhere. He just decomposed.

The Genesis 2:7 says that Adam became a soul. This means that we don't have inside of us something that survives after we die. If you read carefully you realise that dust+spirit (breath of life, the spark of life)=soul (man)

Hell (Sheol, Hades)=common grave of the humankind; it's a state (not a place for eternal torture)

Heaven/Paradise was on earth and will be on earth. Jehovah God did not change his purpose for the earth and mankind on it after Adam started the human race down the path of sin and death. Had God done so, it would have meant that he was not able to carry out his original purpose. His purpose from the beginning was to have an earth-wide paradise filled with happy, healthy people, and that purpose still stands.

Answer 5

can your soul not feel pain?? torture of the soul in eternal darkness sounds pretty painful

Answer 6

You will have a body fit for hell and you will feel the torments of the flame and the worm.

John 5:29 - And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.


Luke 16:24 - And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.
