Hell
Do bad people who die go to Hell to experience pain and torment?
Eccl.9:5,10: "The living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead , they are conscious of nothing at all..(If they are conscious of nothing at all, obviously they can feel no pain.)
Ps.146:4:"His spirit goes out, he goes back to his ground; in that day his thoughts do perish."
Hell or Hades is simply the grave of mankind, not a place of fiery torment.
Does the Bible indicate that the soul survives the death of the body?
Ezek. 18:4:"The soul* that is sinning-itself will die." (*"Soul," KJ,Dy,NE,Kx;"the man," JB; "the person," TEV.)
"The concept of 'soul,' meaning a purely spiritual, immaterial reality, seperate from the 'body',...does not exist in the Bible."
