If you ask me, reincarnation would be Hell (figuratively not literally).
My actual take on “Hell” is this: We have an internal soul, fully conscious apart from the body. The body is our transportation here. We are given this to do the work of God, being His hands and feet. It is through this body we experience pleasure and happiness. These are chemical and neurological responses. Without a brain and body, we have no ability to feel anything. At the resurrection and rebuilding of the new earth, those who served God with this vessel, will get a new one, Adam 2.0. Those who served their flesh, will not get a new body. They will never be able to feel anything, I believe that’s what the “unclean spirits” are that possessed people in the Bible were. They are disembodied souls, of an abomination (maybe the Nephalim) trapped in nothingness, hoping to possess a vessel in order to receive sensation once again. When our vessels are in a certain state, our souls are weakened and permit access.
This is where we differ. I believe that we are a soul, a living soul and when we die we are a dead soul with no feeling, sight, memory or as Solomon explained. If his explanation was not correct and others in the bible God would not have allowed the entry in his Book that is for learning,
2 Timothy 3:16-17 King James Version (KJV)
16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
And the Bible also says that 'Interpretation belongs to God'. No matter how good the secular scholars think they are, they often get it wrong, however, if they are sincere and pray to the Heavenly Father through his only begotten son God will show the way. That's what I think.
When God created man there was no need for a soul as man was to live forever on a paradise earth. The angels are not immortal, Jesus was not given immortality until he rose to the Heavenly Realm after his murder by the Jews. ANd because God is a legal God he cannot take immortality form those who have been given the wonderful blessing, but they are not given an immortal soul they are given a spiritual condition, as was the man, Jesus when he entered the Heavens the second time.
Has God Almighty got a soul? This separate existence that is supposed to exist in our bodies.
