Bible tells the torment is the fire. So, if something is tormented, it means, it burns. Those who are in hell, burn forever. But I have no reason to think they are living or feeling anything while they, or what is remaining of them, burns.
How do you explain Jesus talking about "the rich man and Lazarus" (Luke 16:19-31)? How do you explain Jesus talking about cutting off body parts to avoid a place where the fire is never quenched (Mark 9:43-48) if their is no consciousness of what one is enduring? Why would there be weeping and gnashing of teeth, if there is no consciousness, as found in these verses:
Matthew 13:41-42 41The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will weed out of his kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil. 42They will throw them into the blazing furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth."
Luke 13:27-28 27"But he will reply, 'I don't know you or where you come from. Away from me, all you evildoers!' 28"There will be weeping there, and gnashing of teeth, when you see Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, but you yourselves thrown out."
