Yes the Scriptures are plain and the plain explanation is Hell is not eternal and unbelievers aren’t tormented forever. Now that’s not saying that there isn’t any torment in Hell right now for the unbelievers. Of course there is. But as Scripture in Revelation 20 shows us, there is an end to death and Hell and unbelievers. If you have any Scriptural fact to deconstruct my points, I’d love to see them, but to date, I have not seen any, even from my own Pastor.
(By the way, as a Christian, it is your responcibility to present to me, a fellow Christian, Biblical facts that back up your disagreement. If I was a non-believer rejecting Scripture, then yes, wipe your sandals and leave, but that’s not the case.)
I realize this is a hard thing for some people to honestly analyze because good Christian churches and good Christian pastors have been simply passing on what they were told and refuse to look at this doctrine fully and honestly. I think one of the things that prevent pastors from preaching the truth of this is that so many Christians are uneducated on the whole of the Bible and would flee any church that preached this. Hense many pastors just don’t talk about Hell very much or in any detail.
I don’t expect you to admit to me on line that you agree with me, but I highly encourage you to go to the link I posted and read it all the way through. It does a very good and honest job of looking at the topic of Hell.
I presented Scripture to you. Plain, undeniable Scripture. If that isn't Biblical fact to you, what would be? And I'm not really wiping my sandals; I don't hold any animosity or ill will toward you at all. But there's no point in arguing what's in black and white. All we can do is go around and around...yes it is, no it isn't.

With all due respect, your link doesn't trump the Bible, which tells us clearly, and repeatedly, that the torment of the damned is eternal. We should put our faith in the word of God, not the mental gymnastics of fallible human beings.
