Death of Evil Man's Soul in the Hell
Christ Jesus taught two significant teachings: One lives in an afterlife after physical death and one must love the God and his neighbors. But which is more important.
Even if one knows that his soul can survive death of his body and live in an afterlife, he might not love the God and his neighbors. Such a man would not mind living in the hell. Therefore, Christ Jesus warned that the God could kill the soul of such a man in the hell.
To know that the one's soul can live in an afterlife after death in this world does not necessarily mean that one loves the God and his neighbors, loving good and hating evil. Even an evil man would be happy to know that he can live an evil life in an afterlife after death in this world. It is not only God's angles and holy spirits that would meat souls of men in an afterlife or the spirit world, but Satan and evil spirits also live in the spirit world and the hell.
So, Christ Jesus declared that the God could even kill evil spirits in the hell. For an evil man, it would be the second death after his death in this world. Indeed, it is reasonable that the God would ultimately destroy Satan and all the other evil spirits in the hell. Finally, Satan and all the other evil spirits should completely go extinct and come to naught.
However, it is great good news for poor people that men can live in an after life and ultimately in Heaven after death in this world. No mater how poor they are and how much they are suffering in this world, their souls will enter into the spirt world and finally will be accepted in Heaven where there is no poverty and suffering. This is the core of messages of Christ Jesus.
Both poor men and rich men would enter into an afterlife, but the former go to Heaven to enjoy eternal life while the latter go to the hell to be finally destroyed by the God and come to naught. So, rich men have to face death twice when they die in this world and when their souls are destroyed to come to naught in the hell.
This is the core of teachings of Christ Jesus. Every church, including the Vatican, should make it clear to the public and the world. There is life after death, and poor men can go into Heaven, but rich men fall down to the hell and finally get destroyed by the God.
The notion that there is the spirit world and there are spirits and ghosts does not necessarily improve men. The notion that some men, if not saints, could exercise miracles or execute supernatural power in, say, spoon bending does not enhance humanity. Communications, if possible, between spirits and men do not necessarily upgrade men's quality of life but bring about confusion. What's worse, Satan and evil spirits would interfere with men's communications with spirits, which is dangerous. So, it is interesting that Christ Jesus gave to Swedenborg such an ability to make communication with souls in the spirit world in the 18th century when the modern science started to develop and the modern spiritualism started to flourish.
Nonetheless, it is important for churches to declare that men's souls would survive physical death in this world. Poor men should be relieved from the fear of death, since they will be greatly consoled with hope of their entering into Heaven after physical death.
So, there is no such a thing as death of one's soul except death of evil man's soul in the hell.

Mark 6, King James Version
3 Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him.
4 But Jesus, said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house.
5 And he could there do no mighty work, save that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk, and healed them.
6 And he marvelled because of their unbelief. And he went round about the villages, teaching.
