And you have been shown scripture that clearly states it is eternal suffering...


That’s the thing: No it doesn’t. When it says someones fate is eternal, it is eternal. When it says one goes to eternal life and the other goes to eternal judgement, in either case, it means the condition is eternal. e.g. not changing.

And look up the word “death”, “die”, “dies”, etc. in the Word of God and notice the scriptures that include that word that are referring to the fate of the lost. And that fate will be eternal.

If I say I am going to “paint a fence blue for all eternity” do I mean I am going to spend eternity painting the fence? Or do I mean that I am going to paint the fence blue and it will “stay blue for all eternity”?
