I said “eternal fire” and “torment” are his descriptions of hell. Exact words are different depending on the translation, but I don’t see any reason to not believe that hell is eternal. Revelation says that the people who take the mark of the beast will be tortured forever in the presence of Jesus Christ (which paints a pretty demented picture of the Prince of Peace if you ask me). In the English language, which I guarantee is what Chyron reads, the Bible clearly and obviously depicts hell as a torturous place of eternal punishment where the wicked have no rest day or night and the smoke of their torment ascendeth forever and ever. Jesus Christ’s parable of Lazarus and the rich man also depicts hell as a place of eternal torment. I think that the desire of some christians to turn hell into a mere separation from God, or some kind of eternal “time-out”, is really telling of how uncomfortable so many people are with worshiping a God who would do such things to what are essentially his children (given that the Bible says God makes everybody in his image).
