Can your soul feel physical pain?

Home More advice Science

Humans sense physical pain through the nerve system of their body. Many religious people believe that they possess a soul that can operate without the body, especially after their body has died.

Some claim that your soul might go to hell in order to be subjected to torture.

Science seems ill-equipped to explain matters of the soul in relation to physical pain, so I will direct my question to religious wisdom:

In the unfortunate event of eternal and infernal torture of the soul, how can it feel physical pain? Will it be provided with special supernatural nerves?
