I didn't mean to leave you with the impression the structure where souls went before the death and resurrection of Christ was "destroyed", but merely after Christ good men and believers no longer go to Earth, born again believers now Go to heaven, or the "Kingdom of God".

Never actually ended, but more than likely seldom used.
Remember what has been made cannot be unmade.

I felt like this deserved its own thread. There are seveal discussions on "Is Hell Real" "Is Satan Real" etc...But not really (that I have found on this) -- If this has been placed in the wrong section of the site please help re-direct
*Burning in Hell*
Let's just say for a minute (ahemmm -- here it goes) that Satan IS Real...
And some "will burn in fire for all eternity"
What about this?? -- Ok, the initial reaction to the burning....AHHHHHH, AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, followed by another even bigger AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.....BUT...ever broken your arm?? (or put your example here) The pain sucks...REAL bad, but after a while the pain SLIGHTLY subsides and gets a bit easier to deal with....
So...the "burning for eternity"...after let's say...an hour...The AHHHHHHH, would slowly turn into...Ouch, this sucks...and then after a week...."Man, this burning is ANNOYING more than painful"
OR we could just say that just like being cremated...you wouldnt get passed even more than a few minutes before being nothing but ashes
So is Satan Real....hmmm, maybe. Is hell real....could be.....
But even the "worst of the worst" whether they are people/demons/ whatever....GET TIRED...so there must be a few "breaks" in hell we're I guess we could try to find some ice for the burns...
**ONCE AGAIN, SINCE RESPONSES SEEM TO BE GOING OFF TOPIC** I am asking...even if it IS real...wouldnt we get used to the burning?? Plus, wouldnt there be breaks?...I know it's an odd question, but eventually we would get numb to the burns and used to it....no??
We know the BODY is adaptive because it is DNA restructuring to handle future threats. It is an evolutionary process of protection. not to say that I believe in evolution....per say, I believe in creation but I believe that while we are here as a people our bodies do adapt for future lineage benefits. I don`t, however, believe that the soul (being incorruptible as the bible describes) will be able to adapt to the torchers. Also, I believe the bible refers to incorruptible bodies upon the return of Jesus as well.
