Quote:The New Testament does talk about the resurrection of both the righteous and wicked dead at Judgement day. Although apart from sects such as the Seventh Day Adventists also preach that before Judgement day, souls will be given both provisional rewards and judgements depending on if they are wicked or righteous. Your question is apt for at least the 'provisional' stage before the day of judgement.
I will give you a full answer tomorrow but no.
a) Adventism is not a sect
b) Many people have believed in soul sleep
c) The ressurection of the righteous is throughout the whole NT.
d) More and more scholars are believing in the resurrection. A great commentary called, 'The New Persepctive on Paul.' Is changing how we understand the NT and getting rid of out theological baggage.
Quote:If the soul is indestructible (and therefore immortal) how can it feel pain in Hell?
I have never believed in eternal hell, so I cant really say how one does feel pain in hell.
Its ok to have doubt, just dont let that doubt become the answers.

Your mind works very simply: you are either trying to find out what are God's laws in order to follow them; or you are trying to outsmart Him. -Martin H. Fischer
