Yes, but a better way of saying it is “something must mean everlasting.

Thing is, there are many places in the bible where it is translated to English phrases such as “everlasting” eternal, forever and ever, and such, when the event was only for a predefined time, and then often a very short time.

Go here:http://rethinkinghell.com/explore/

click on the “scriptures” tab. You can then click on the Traditionalism, Conditionalism and Universalism tabs to see a list of “proof texts” for each one. You can then click on each proof text for the text, an explanation and sometimes a refutation.

This is not like the “pre- vs post-trib” type arguments. This stuff is pretty well discussed in the bible.
