"How long will it take the Lake of Fire to extinguish a soul?"

If God keeps it in existence for all eternity then it couldn't, which is shown from Scripture:

Mt 25: 41, 46; Dan 12:22; 2 Thess 1:7-9 etc.

I should mention that there is no Daniel 12:22.

However, we both agree that the fate is eternal. In a previous post I also mentioned that the lake of fire is almost certainly something other than a literal “lake of fire”. I also, in a previous post mentioned that I don’t believe “eternal” means what we with our limited understanding of time think it means. But the clear point of all scripture regarding both the saved and the unsaved is that after the great white throne judgement, their fates are sealed. One to eternal life and the other to eternal death, destruction, perish, etc. Only one side of that equation uses any word to even suggest the presence of “life” in their eternal condition.
