What does the Lord Say...................
And he mentioned being consumed in an eternal fire (key word, consumed) and to drive the point home that the lost are gone and nothing is left of them he quotes Isaiah 66:24, regarding the fate of the lost. He even further goes on to point out that the righteous go on to eternal life, while the lost do not. They go on to death, to never be resurrected (AKA eternal punishment - not eternal “punishing”).
Jesus was incredibly clear about the whole thing, staying true to the warning in Genesis 3. The wages of sin is DEATH. But still people dogmatically cling to the ECT message and refuse to even discuss any real arguments against it. Hence my use of the word, “dogmatically”.
(key word, consumed)

How about key word ETERNAL. Eternal consumption.
There are many other verses you chose to ignore. You know what they are, include them in your presentation.
The problem is accepting a just, righteous, Holy God and what that means.
