Matthew 25:41 .... Then He will say to those on His left, 'Depart from Me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.
Matthew 25:46 .... And these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.
Matthew 23:33 .... You serpents, you brood of vipers, how are you to escape being sentenced to hell?
The red is from Jesus.
Give eternal punishment whatever name you wish it is real and those who reject Jesus will find the truth there.

So which is it? Darkness or fire ??
It is darkness whether it's fire or real darkness, being separated from God is darkness. My personal opinion is darkness, the eternal fire is the only way man could understand that the punishment he chooses is so horrible.
