However the bible says Hell is forever, and Satan will be given 'eternal life' to be punished in Hell fire forever.
So there's no literal "realm of eternal torment"? I wish God had cleared that up, could've prevented a lot of stress.
eternal for man.. no.
If you could be bothered to read your bible like for instance everything/Anything Jesus ever said about hell you'd see that in Every single instance He said it was the place where the soul will be destroyed. Over and over again. "Fear not the one who can destroy the body, but fear the one who can destroy the body and soul in Hell." God is clear.
that said, 100, 1000, 10,000, a million or even a billion years, is still not an eternity...
The destruction of the soul (I personally feel) will depend on how 'evil' that soul was in life. For instance I think a aldof Hitler will be in Hell a lot longer than some poor d-bag atheist who did not want to give up porn and weed, and came up with all sorts of 'loop holes/reason' he thought a 'good God' would not send him to hell. Even so, destruction comes in the way of waves of brutal panic and torment till the thin threads that hold a mind together simple get consumed/being eaten by hell fire. again if this were second years or eons it still does not count as an eternity.
