Can souls feel like our bodies feel?

This question would primarily be for those of you who believe in some sort of afterlife, whether religious or spiritual. I was driving in my car earlier and started randomly thinking about the Bible and its talk of Hell (and more specifically, burning). I asked myself, "Doesn't all of this talk of flames and suffering imply that we will feel something?"
Some would say "It is a metephor!", however what is it a metephor of if this is the case? Why would so many preachers insist on the "sinners souls" burning in Hell, if this was "just a metephor?"
I find it kind of strange, spiritually speaking, that we would have the same capacity to feel warmth (and likewise cold, I would presume) without physical bodies.
I have a lot of thoughts of this scrambling in my brain, however I will leave my other comments for later.

I read in a book written by a saint that there are vibrations surrounding our body, good or bad as per our deeds done in this birth. When we die, these vibrations surround our soul and go with us to the next life, where there are planes of different vibrations. A good person will feel only comfortable in a plane with good vibrations and be at rest there, repenting for his sins and proceeding higher and higher up in the astral world. A bad person likewise can only feel comfortable in bad vibrations, and though he may be able to travel up, his soul will not be at peace or comfortable till he reaches that plane which has bad vibrations. So, the soul feels the vibrations of our deeds. We learn from this that we must try and do good to people in this world so that when we die, we are sure to be surrounded by good vibrations and find peace in the astral world. I believe it.
