We only know that the "person" that occupied the body left the body and went to God. It doesn't say he was conscious there or not. Again, we can only speculate.
so Jesus was not conscious after death??? But you said he preached to the spirits in prison. And I showed that he descended to the lower parts of the earth. Jesus is the Son of God God the Son. Before he came in the flesh he was God and conscious after the body Died he was also God and conscious. You may want to rethink your idea here, you don't want to say God is not conscious, ever.

Jesus Christ also speaks in all believers. That is conscious and in Spirit. All believers have the Spirit of God in them

this wailing and gnashing of teeth is when they are cast into the furnace of fire. This is after death and nowhere does it say it ends.
Huh? Destroyed forever: Psalms 92:7, Psalms 73:17, Psalms 145:20; Proverbs 13:13; Job 20:7-9; Psalms 52:5 everlasting ruin.

Again the word hell is a mistranslation and we proved that with your misunderstanding of the KJ Bible when it comes to the Greek word for Satan and his messenger called Tartars. You are right God is going to judge/probate the false prophets and teachers that preach heresy of damnation

No the english word "hell" has many meanings and covers all the Greek words.

"HELL, n.
1. The place or state of punishment for the wicked after death. Mat 10. Luke 12.
Sin is hell begun, as religion is heaven anticipated.
2. The place of the dead, or of souls after death; the lower regions, or the grave; called in Hebrew, sheol, and by the Greeks, hades. Psa 16. Jonah 2.
3. The pains of hell, temporal death, or agonies that dying persons feel, or which bring to the brink of the grave. Psa 18.
4. The gates of hell, the power and policy of Satan and his instruments. Mat 16.
5. The infernal powers.
While Saul and hell cross'd his strong fate in vain.
6. The place at a running play to which are carried those who are caught.
7. A place into which a tailor throws his shreds.
8. A dungeon or prison."

God’s fire is spiritual not literal. What is God going to do with natural fire? Perhaps roast hot dogs?

we read of both by and soul cast into hell. Sorry your doctrine fails. What kind of body it is that can suffer forever is not clear in scripture but it will be a real one according to scripture.

I agree with this post, generally thinking. But when did I say God (or Jesus) is not conscious? How about when Jesus slept? God was certainly conscious. Was Jesus?

they will continually be judged and burned forever and condemned and in damnation and destruction as a shame and contempt in the bodies they have. Both body and soul shall be forever and ever day and night in the fire as scripture shows.

the "person" The Son of God who is Jesus Christ, went into God's hands and he preached after his physical death.

no I said God is in every believer but we are not God.

Philippians 2:13
For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure."

"20 Now the
God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, 21 Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is well pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen."(Hebrews 13:20,21 KJV)

The Word hell is not even in the Greek language and has been mistranslated from three Greek words and one Hebrew. So even to use the word hell is a mis-translation and very bias.

No one will suffer forever the wicked will be punished/pruned/chastised agely not forever. That SICK.

The words Sheol, Hades, Tartarus and Gehenna have no root or meaning in the word hell another example of King James Bible mis-translation and bias. The word hell came from an Angle Saxon word meaning to bury. If you go to the UK today and you can hel your potatoes.

She-ol (eol) [[Heb shaal , to dig]] a place in the depths of the earth conceived of as the dwelling of the dead Note: translated in KJV about haft of scriptures as hell, the other haft as grave
Ha-des(hadez) [[Gr Haides ]] 1 Gr. Myth. a) the home of the dead, beneath the earth b) the god of the underworld 2 Bible the state or resting place of the dead: name used in some modern translations of the New Testament
Yes there is a Tar-ta-rus (tart rs) [[ Gr Tartaros ]] Gr. Myth. 1 an infernal abyss below Hades, where Zeus hurls the rebel Titans, later a place of punishment for the demons and devils not people. (mentioned only once in the Bible)
Those who go to Gehenna are not sinners of the world; but are sinners of God’s people. (how precious is this a type of purification outside of God’s holy city. All things that are not of God will be purified by God’s holy judgment.

Jesus was not speaking to the world/pagan people/sinners; he was speaking to the Jews (believers during His time He walked o n this earth); when ever He used this Greek word Gehenna. With the Teutonic pagan word Hell Gehenna is not physical flames, even though Gehenna is the garbage dump outside the city of Jerusalem. Gehenna Judgment is actually spiritual in nature; it is the reaping of what Israel had sown by killing the prophets and their children in the fire to Molech and Baal at Topheth and in the Valley of Ben Hiddom (later called Gehenna). God warned that those who go to Gehenna are not sinners of the world; but are sinners of God’s people. (how precious is this a type of purification outside of God’s holy city. All things that are not of God will be purified by God’s holy judgment. This word is used not for sinner, murders or liars; it is used with the word “BROTHER”.

Gehenna is not physical flames, even though Gehenna is the garbage dump outside the city of Jerusalem. Gehenna Judgment is actually spiritual in nature, it is the reaping of what Isreal had sown by killing the prophets and their children in the fire to Molech and Baal at Topheth and in the Valley of Ben Hiddom (later called Gehenna). God warned that He is the only God, there is no other like Him.

Matthew 5:22

But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell (Gehenna) fire.

Butbefore he went anywhere he went to hell (the grave) and dead as a doornail, stayed there three days just like Jonah did in the belly of the whale (symbolic ofhell, the grave)
How do I know? "The dead are silent in the grave and know nothing". Psalms 31:17

wrong, the body sleeps in the grave the spirit goes to God. Snd Jesus descended to the lower parts of the earth to a place called "paradise" or Abrahams Bosom, where the Ot saints were until he finished the work on the cross. He preached (proclaimed not evangelized) them and took captivity captive and brought them out of there.

yes they were in paradise. Jesus said to the thief who repented that this day he would be with him in paradise. This is the paradise side of hell, or the place of departed spirits. Jesus descended to that part and led captivity captive.

These are basic things in scripture I marvel at how confused some get when listening to heresies all over the net.

I showed you very clearly that the word The KJV uses for al the Greek words is hell. It covers all the meanings. Plain and simple.

the translation is in english. When you translate you take english words that are equivalent and as close to the meaning as we have.

Wow! Have you been decieved. Jesus said unto the thief, "Today, you shall be with me in paradise. NOTICE the comma. If he meant that day then they would both be in the grave for 3 days together.

wrong again

Luke 23:43
And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, Today shalt thou be with mein paradise."(KJV the only bible any should use in english) yes its a 45 hour talk too much for here. You have been deceived by the corrupted versions it seems.
