It's good to put in yourself in position of another, and ask what you think is the right thing to do with regards to yourself, and apply it to others.
If you were evil, would it be the right thing to have compassion yourself and hope you are forgiven and reformed or eternally tortured?
I believe it's the former.
Therefore I believe it's right to wish others compassion and they not be eternally tortured but forgiven and reformed.
Therefore I believe if there is a Creator that shares morality of humanity, it would be wrong of him to eternally torture humans for being evil.
How about this reasoning. It was largely invented by Dante Allegeri based upon horror stories of his time. To me that is much simpler and gets to the point of the invention of the whole thing and the prurient imaginations the came up with the ideas.

Everlasting, forever, unending...ect is there another definition.
When there is no time those words have no meaning. Care to try again?

Because the sin is against God and He is eternal, only God can remove sin. If a sin is not removed it is eternal.
So why did this god of yours create sin in the first place? All that exists is through your god so you claim. It created sin. And on the six day, why did it declare sin was good?
