The NT has various versions as to what happens after death.
Mark mentions ‘to go to hell [Gehenna], to the unquenchable fire’.
Matthew has Jesus speak of destroying ‘both soul and body in hell’ [Gehenna] ─ which would seem to mean death is the end ─ and of ‘the eternal fire’ and ‘the outer...
God is the Judge, of course. There is a judgment, that is true. And yes, the natural death is once, after that is the judgment. We can go into that. Because, of course, at first sight, the Bible does say that we are to be in fear of the one that destroys both body AND soul in Gehenna. (or hell...
I'd like to add just as Adam became a living soul until Adam died.
God breathed the breath of life into lifeless Adam - Genesis 2:7 - than Adam came to life.
So, Adam went from non-life, to life, and returned back to non-life.
A person can Not return to a place he never was before, so Adam...
I am not going into detail now about what comprises a soul in the biblical sense. However, yes -- Matthew10:28 says,
"And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell."
So then, according to this, the SOUL...
There is no point. I simply wanted to offer you an alternative interpretation. You said you looked at it, but I'm not sure you read it and considered it.
My understanding of the verse relates to fearing God, which, according to the Bible, is the beginning of wisdom (Proverbs 9:10) and...
Actually it was an honest question, the man enjoyed frequenting bars because that was his reputation around town, and no I don't think it was a rude question and I know he was not kidding in return. He claimed to be "saved." We all have opinions.

P.S. you did not offer your understanding of Matthew10:28 but pointed to something else in a link, but that is ok. If you want to you can put it in your own words. If not, that's obviously your choice.
As it has already been mentioned by someone else, you asked a rude question, and you received a rude answer.
Please correct me if I'm mistaken, but based on your answer, I can only assume that your entire theology concerning hell hinges on a single verse, Matthew10:28. Is this correct? If I...
Jesus brought out that God can destroy body and soul in Gehenna. Some translations say hell there. But the point is that if the body and soul is destroyed, what's left? Nothing. No feeling, no consciousness.
Matthew10:28. "And be not in fear by reason of them that are killing the body,—And the...
I never believed in hell as put forth by some before I studied the Bible or became an atheist. In other words, I thought it was not true and a concoction of men. Now I am not an atheist but it has taken me time to read, study and understand the Bible. And now I know the truth about hell. Matthew...
Thank you. As with many things, it depends on one's view of the matter. Some sum it up one way, while others sum it up differently. It's good to try to look at it carefully. Some things are clear to me and not necessarily agreed upon by everyone. (Obviously.) One of the scriptures I have in mind...
The Bible also claims that "for God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life" (John 3:16). I think this verse might be convincing if it weren't for: "Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the...
According to the Bible, Jesus said, "Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell" (Matt. 10:28). If you're interested, this article is an interpretation regarding the topic of Jesus and hell: "What...
Blood in the Bible is representative of Soul and Spirit combined...
Soul = Genome/DNA Information
Spirit = Energy/Mind/Character
Thus, the 'Life' (Spirit + Soul combined) is in the Blood...
Leviticus 17:11
"For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar...
I believe that Body, Soul and Spirit are definitely three separate entities. Body and Soul can be seen separated here...
Matthew10:28
"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."
My concern...
there were early christian groups that believe in such a duality .. YHWH was a demiurge .. it is not hard to see where they got such ideas from .. The God of Jesus is much the polar opposite of that YHWH fellow..
In my opinion, the God of the Bible is analogous to Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.
The biblical God as Dr. Jekyll (calm, civilized, and wise):
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." John 3:16
The biblical...
