Will it hurt?

Question

When I go to hell, will it hurt? If all my nerves are contained within my dead, discarded vessel, how do I feel pain? What's the science, my bible experts?

I love the way you say "when" as if you have NO doubts at this stage :-)
Be interesting to see the answers to this one but I am atheist so don't believe in hell sorry.

Well 29 mins past and no one has explained what happens to your nervous system so that you still feel pain in hell....no surprises there. If they can't explain something they just say "God willed it so".

Your presupposition is that you will not have a body. That is not a teaching of Christianity. Paul and the Apostle's and Nicene Creeds teach a resurrection of the body and a life eternal, whether in heaven or hell. However, Scripture's vivid pictures of lakes of fire, etc., are symbols of God's judgment. The "hell" of hell is not necessarily physical pain (although it might be; I don't know) but most certainly does include woe, regret, and other emotions related to the selfish, prideful, unfilled life. You didn't want God in this world? Then you live without Him in the next. Hell is separation from God. And, by the way, hell is locked from the INSIDE. Think about it.

Answer 3

We need to remember that we not only have a physical body, but we have a spiritual body as well.

Science can't prove the existance of the human spirit, so proving this cannot be done with science.

But if you read the Scriptures, you will find out that people have been "in the spirit" and have been able to see, hear, speak and so on, just as if they had a physical body.

In Hell and the Lake of Fire, Jesus said there would be weeping, and gnashing (gritting) of teeth. So, those who go there will have eyes, tears, teeth, and will feel pain just as if they had a physical body.

If you read the story of the rich man and Lazarus in the book of Luke, a rich man who went to Hell could see Abraham and a beggar named Lazarus, and could speak to Abraham.

He also begged Abraham to have Lazarus bring him some water to cool his tongue, as he was in agony in the fire. Therefore he could see, hear, feel pain and thirst, talk and hear, even in Hell.

Faith begins where things cannot be proven physically.

Answer 4

I'm a muslim, and no bible expert. I'm sure if you go to hell, it will hurt beyond your imagination. Allah is the creator of humankind who create the universe from nothing, so it's very easy for me (and perhaps for you too) to understand that it's very easy for Allah to renew the skin of people being tortured in hell.

Pain is pain, but everlasting pain is too much to imagine.

Answer 5

You have a very negative attitude! Who says you're going to hell? As long as you still have life in you, you have as much chance as anyone of accepting Jesus Christ as Lord. Just because you don't recognise Him today doesn't mean that you won't tomorrow. God bless.

Answer 6

Jump in the gas grill you'll find out how feels. Sorry thats the best I can do Never been to hell so I couldn't tell ya!!

Answer 7

i don't follow the Bible but I believe that there is a Hell that is reserved for the worst of the worst unrepentant folk. and it's probably eternal emotional and mental hurt. my guess. because both heaven and hell do not have physical traits...just emotional and spiritual.

Answer 8

There is no scientific evidence behind it. God has given us a description of it through His prophets and not believing in it won't make it go away. Either it is real or it is not, we will find out on the other side.

Answer 9

Your soul/spirit will hurt.
It is not a physical pain. I believe the separation from God is what will cause pain.

I know you will say that you hate God, don't believe, etc.

I am telling you what I feel is the truth.
I have no proof.
Y'all say we make up lies and quote verses when we don't have a clear-cut answer.
so.................here ya go...an honest answer from a Christian.

Have a good day. Thanks for asking.

Luke 16:22 And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;
Luke 16:23 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
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.
Luke 16:25 But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.
Luke 16:26 And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.
Luke 16:27 Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house:
Luke 16:28 For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.
Luke 16:29 Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.
Luke 16:30 And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent.
Luke 16:31 And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.

being in torments
I am tormented in this flame
and thou art tormented
this place of torment.

Man in Hell has:
eyes, tongue, memory of his lost family

then when your finaly judged:

Revelation 20:14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
Revelation 20:15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

Swimming in flames for all eternity
