Hell is everlasting. True or false?

Matthew 25

41 “Then He will also say to those on the left hand, ‘Depart from Me, you cursed, into the EVERLASTING FIRE prepared for the devil and his angels: 42 for I was hungry and you gave Me no food; I was thirsty and you gave Me no drink; 43 I was a stranger and you did not take Me in, naked and you did not clothe Me, sick and in prison and you did not visit Me.’ 44 “Then they also will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to You?’ 45 Then He will answer them, saying, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.’ 46 And these will go away into EVERLASTING PUNISHMENT, but the righteous into eternal life.”

Revelation 20:10 The devil, who deceived them, was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone where the beast and the false prophet are. AND THEY WILL BE TORMENTED DAY AND NIGHT FOREVER AND EVER.

The above Scripture (bold type) is loud and clear and IRREFUTABLE.

That "Hell is everlasting", but Revelation 20:12-14 does nothing at all to contradict the idea that "Hell is everlasting".

Because the Bible cannot possibly contradict itself, and there is nothing at all in Revelation 20:12-14 to say that "Hell is only temporary".

Update:

For Revelation 20:12-14 doesn't actually say that "Hell is only temporary".

But the idea of "Temporary hell" is no more than a dishonest interpretation of Revelation 20:12-14.

Because they simply can't come to terms with the fact that they are destined to suffer "Everlasting torment in hell", which is why their interpretation of Revelation 20:12-14 is no more than a tactical ploy that is TOTALLY DISHONEST.

Update 2:

Ultimately, there can be no denial and no contradiction of the New Testament, which says that "Hell is most certainly everlasting" (Matthew 25:41, 46 and Revelation 20:10).

    Whom do I contact about Jews and freemasons (aka homosexual devilworshipping Jew-masons) killing 70 million in Soviet Union by gulags, famine, or shooting squads? How can Russian Orthodox get some justice?

    Russian Orthodox Metropolitan Ioann Snychev was poisoned/murdered by Jew Putin (aka Shalomov) because he refused to work for Jews. KGB poisoned Putin; Putin died in 2007; now doubles (who wear latex masks) pretend to be Putin. Medvedev is David Aaronovich Mendel. Jews murdered Tsar Nicolas 2nd's family; Jews bled them for six hours according to ritual.

    Tsar Nicolas' family was sacrificed by Jews (they bled 6 hours); their remains were burnt; their blood drank; ashes from remains were sprinkled onto 50 hard-boiled eggs (dish called scido Amafreikis) [50 egg shells were found outside the place of ritual murder]. Also, decapitated Tsar's head (which was grey ... hair turned grey when he saw his kids being knifed).. Ritualistic murder... (blood libel is same thing as anti-Semitism ... a lie by Jews to flee justice). Jews came up that Tsar's family was shot. Tsar appeared to warn that

    whosoever worships false remains will become possessed by demons (this just happened like a decade ago ... maybe less)… Jews collect heads of leaders because they believe in reincarnation.

    How about Jews coming up with a mocking holiday April 1st because resurrection of Jesus happened on that day? Jews came up with mocking holidays 23 February (Day of Soviet Army) which was capitulation by cowards in Tsar’s army… or March 8 (international Woman’s day) which celebrates lesbian/prostitute Klara Tsetkin and Rosa Luxembourg.

    Three biggest saints in heaven (in this order): Theotokos Virgin Mary, John the Baptist, and Tsar Nicolas 2nd

    Four biggest sinners in hell (in this order from the bottom of hell moving up to our level): Marx, Engels, Lenin, Stalin

    You could joke that Marx is a bigger sinner than Engels because Marx fooked Engels but how is Lenin a bigger sinner than Stalin when Lenin was fooked by Zinoviev (even by Bronstein once)?

    Lenin's brain was the size of walnut. He had syphilis. Was alcoholic. Born from incest degenerate family. Was in insane asylum. Wife Kruspkaya was probably lesbian 'cause what normal woman would stay with him?

    According to Russian Orthodox researcher Grigoriy Klimov, three stages of degeneracy are

    1)sodomy (69, anal, oral, masturbation, pedophilia, incest, necrophilia, beastiality, orgies, hand job, bj, even all non-missionary positions between husband and wife, etc.)

    2)insane asylum

    3)physical deformities in kids (eyes looking at different angles, wolf jaw, rabbit lip, horse foot, different length limbs, etc.)

    all these accompanied by drug/alcohol abuse

    Jews have like six times more degenerates than other nations because they don't have monkhood. Jewish degenerates become politicians (or similar high rank in society). In Germany during Hitler time, it was eight times. Hitler, Stalin (aka Jugashvilli which means son of Jew), Roosevelt, Churchill were all Jewish degenerates. Hitler had many Jewish coworkers as homosexual partners. Stalin was expelled from seminary for sodomy.

    A few centuries ago, angel appeared to Orthodox Christian community and said not to buy from Jews at bazaar because it's sprinkled with blood (something like that)

    Those were facts… and now for some Conspiracy Theory: Elimination of comments on Yahoo Answers means that Project Pogo is completed. Now, Project Zyphr will initiate in winter. They will turn off electricity for a few days to gather dissidents into underground concentration camps. DRONE WITH SCOPOLAMINE will drill a hole in your window and once gassed you will come out to them yourself. AI (Artificial Intelligence) will make phone calls and posts on social media as if it were you doing it (and no one will notice that you’re gone).

    The remaining people will be chipped. Only marked people will receive food in closed stores. So, when people sign up for food, gov't clerk presses secret button to administer the unforgivable mark of the beast. Hide within 10-15 people group (saints Gabriel Urgebadze and Serafim of Sarov); no documents; no electronics.

    Source(s): According to the Last Prophet (aka incarnated ARCHANGEL URIEL aka saint healer VYACHESLAV KRASHENINNIKOV) if the last descendant rejects mark of the beast, then his/her direct ancestors go to permanent heaven. To reject mark of the beast, one needs to hide within a 10-15 people group without electronics/documents. Documents are from Satan; burn them. Electronics can be used to track you and to show the antichrist (even on old broken unplugged TV set from 1970's); forgive me.

    In fact, the word "hell" shouldn´t be in English Bibles because it causes confusion. But since the damage is already done, and so that it doesn´t get worse, it should only be used in place of Hebrew "sheol" and Greek "hades."

    The words sheol and hades refer to the symbolic abode of the dead, the common grave of mankind: Grave/gravedom. It has to be a symbolic/figurative place, because at death, man goes "back to dust," becomes unconscious and inactive. (Ecclesiastes 3:20, 9:5, 10) Consequently, "everlasting fire" and "everlasting punishment" are not synonyms of HELL. 

    Believers in literal hell-fire face, additionally, the following dilemma: if one kept his physical body after death, there would be a point where, under the power of literal fire, that body would become just a piece of charred material, dead and insensitive to pain. On the other hand, if kept in a spiritual body, fire, an element from our material world, could not inflict any damage to those bodies in the spirit plane.

    Why did Jesus use the imagery/symbolism of "everlasting fire?" Suppose you live in the country and you need to burn your garbage of the week. If there isn´t enough oxygen and wood, your fire won´t last long. It would be a failing, weak fire, not able enough to perform the task of eliminating your trash. You need a long-lasting fire, a fire that will perform the task thoroughly: destroy your waste completely. You don´t want to see that trash back again indoors. You need an "everlasting fire."

    By using an "everlasting fire," you also guarantee that "the punishment" will be "everlasting:" that "trash" can never ever be recovered again. "The penalty" it underwent cannot be reversed. It was, indeed, an everlating punishment. No hope for that garbage to be reassembled "back to life."

    Similarly, "at the revelation of the Lord Jesus from heaven with his powerful angels in a flaming fire,...he brings vengeance on those who do not know God and those who do not obey the good news about our Lord Jesus...

    These very ones will undergo THE JUDICIAL PUNISHMENT of EVERLASTING DESTRUCTION from before the Lord and from the glory of his strength." - 2 Thessalonians 1:7-9. (Caps are mine)

    So Sheol/Hades/Hell refer to the (symbolic) Grave where mankind is "asleep," resting until the Millenium. - John 5:28-29; Revelation 20:4-5, 12-13.

    "Gehenna," "the lake of fire," and "everlasting fire" are all symbols for the "everlating punishment" of "everlasting destruction." According to Revelation 20:14, after the Millenium, death and hell(Grave, Sheol/Hades) will disappear forever, undergoing the punishment of everlasting destruction, the second death:

    New Living Translation

    Then death and the grave were thrown into the lake of fire. This lake of fire is the second death

    Aramaic Bible in Plain English

    And Death and Sheol were cast into The Lake of Fire- this which is the second death

    King James 2000 Bible

    And death and hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.

    GOD'S WORD® Translation

    Death and hell were thrown into the fiery lake. (The fiery lake is the second death.)

    Hell was destroyed, everything that was cast into the lake of fire was destroyed except Satan, all of the fallen angels, the beast, and the false prophet who were both casts into the lake of fire while alive and in their flesh body, they along with the devil and all of the fallen angels will burn in torment forever in the lake of fire. (Revelation 19:20)

    All the human spirits that were cast into the lake of fire were consumed by the fire and ceased to exist, That was God's act of mercy and forgiveness. There is no forgiveness for disobedience angels. 

    And the 2 evil humans, the beast and the false prophet obviously had committed unforgivable sins and was tormented forever along with Satan and fallen angels.

    The fact that they were casts into the lake of fire while still alive in their flesh bodies tells me that human flesh is not consumed by the fire and brimstone of the lake of fire only the human spirit is, so they were tormented inside their body forever. (I did not get that from the Bible it's my own assertion.)

    Eternal torment is a truth.  And nobody has to go to eternal torment.  It is very easy to avoid.  Avoiding eternal torment is by believing in the Lord Jesus Christ.  That simple.  When a person dies, they will be in heaven or hell, and they can't get out of hell if that is where they go.  To go to heaven and not go to hell, believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, without adding any of your works.  Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, who is God and who died on the cross and shed His blood to pay for all our sins, and who resurrected from the dead.  See Romans 4:5 and 1 Corinthians 15:3-4.

    False, there is no “hell”.  Eternal non-existence is everlasting, so choose life.
