Betcha my hell is hotter than your hell! Mine says that the wicked

that

they are tortured throughout eternity

It is written:

Rev.20
[10] And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire
and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be
tormented day and night for ever and ever.

Actually, this passage only says that the devil shall be tormented.

[15] And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast
into the lake of fire.

And this verse doesn't say what happens to them in the lake of fire

Franklin: Terrell, pardon? The smoke of their torment shall ascend before
G-d forever. Sounds kind'a like it is well described as perpetual with no
end, unless we want to say G-d will merely remember the smoke of their
torment forever and take a cop out of what is written by adding our own
reasoning. Also, in Rev. it is said that Hell will be cast into the lake
of
fire, and "all whose names are not written in the book of life". Read what
Jesus said about Hell in the parable of the rich man and Lazarus. Even if
a
person were to be burned up and are consumed in the lake of fire, he or
she
had better hope Jesus comes soon and the New Jerusalem or else they will
spend a lot of days in torment in the flames.
