You are right, the word "hell" does not really appear in the Bible, but the Bible
describes a hell. The word "hell" is just a term for a description in the Bible.
Jesus, for example, describes hell as a place where the worm(soul) does not die and the fire does not go out.
Mark 9:47-48
And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hellfire:
48 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
In Revelation 1:18 Jesus also distinguishes between death and hell.
I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore,Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.
The devil will come to a place where he will be tormented forever.
Revelation 20:10
And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
It is also said that the people who join the devil will come to a place where they will be tormented forever.
Revelation 14:10
And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,
10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:
11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.
There is not only eternal hell, but also pre-hell. A pre-hell where the wicked will dwell until judgment, where they will also be tormented.
Jesus clearly mentions this in Luke 16:23.
There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:
20 And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores,
21 And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.
22 And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;
23 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
24 And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.
25 But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.
26 And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.
27 Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house:
28 For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.
29 Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.
30 And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent.
31 And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.
Peter also mentions the pre-hell, the angels who went to the earth and had sexual intercourse with the human women(Genesis 6:1-4) were brought to pre-hell where they must also stay until the day of judgment.
2 Peter 2:4
For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment.
You believe that the body itself is the soul. And you believe that man has no spirit. But both are wrong because the Bible teaches and distinguishes body, soul and spirit.
1 Thessalonians 5:23
Now the God of Peace Himself, and you may have kept your soul and soul blameless at the coming of Jesus.
Hebrews 4:12
For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.
James 2:26
For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
And because you believe that the body itself is the soul, you claim that the person has no consciousness after his death. But as already mentioned above, the soul is not the body and the man therefore still has a consciousness because the soul is still alive. The souls are in the realm of the dead. John saw the souls and he also saw how the souls spoke to God.
Revelation 6:9
When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the witness they had borne.
10 They cried out with a loud voice, “O Sovereign Lord, holy and true, how long before you will judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?
”
Jesus also distinguished between soul and body. Man is able to kill a man's body but not his soul. .
Luke 12:4
And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.
5 But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.
