How do people in Hell survive it? In traditionalist circles, Hell is the full wrath of God, infinitely hot fire and brimstone, and extreme pain, suffering, torture, and it is called eternal death. Now since in traditionalist circles Hell is also physical torture, with actual fire, actual sulfer, physical pain etc, then I do not understand how a physical body can survive this. With a normal human body, if it is burned beyond recognition or tortured for just 50 years, the body... would be destroyed, and the person would probably be dead. If you add in that Hell is the full wrath of God, then if God was using 100% of his might to hurt the people in Hell, it is hard to see how anyone could survive that. There is also all of the NDE's on Hell, which also show things that no one could survive. According to the version of Chrsitianity which believes 1) hell is eternal conscious torment 2) Hell is literal fire and brimstone and 3) Hell is an infinite punishment, and thus infinite in intensity and duration, how do these traditionalist and literalist interpretations of the Bible explain how people aren't dead yet? Note that although the *soul* is immortal and can't be killed, Hell in this view is physical with a physical body, and although the soul cannot be destroyed it is safe to assume that a physical body can be disintegrated, no matter if it is made of an extremely strong material like tungsten or titanium or Depleted Uranium.
