Domenic. I'm in agreement with you. ( just I think the verses you quoted are for the body : But i want to help you out with the soul )->
; I said I was not going to post but wanted to bring attention to this verse. What many don't realize is the Bible speaks in figures of speech when trying to teach some times. But here is a place where it does not use a figure of speech :
Matthew 10:28
King James Version (KJV)
28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
You can see that it clearly says, that God can " destroy " the soul, in hell. So the person does not burn forever as the figure of speech says, but the underling teaching is this, That the lake of fire, or today known as hell, does destroy the soul, it does not cause that soul to suffer. The rich man however when you read about him , is not in hell, but that fire is his own, showing his emotional state , that he is in danger of going to the lake of fire, but hes in heaven, just as Satan is as Revelation 12 sates. because Judgment day did not happen yet. Hope that verse helps some one and that they dont over, read it.
