Revelation 20:10
And the devil, who deceived them, was thrown into the lake of burning sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet had been thrown. They will be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
I don’t believe churches are literal lamstands.
re: This is about man, not the “devil”. And you quoted Revelation. It is one of my favorite books of the bible, but it is very, VERY symbolic in its language. I never use it as a primary proof of anything, but as supporting other biblical proofs.

Even books that have symbolism in them MUST have some form of literalism in it, otherwise words become meaningless.
So, do the words “tormented forever and ever” mean what it says, or should it be understood symbolically? if so, why?
