Jesus suffering vs eternal suffering of temporary sinners

If your reading/assumption  is correct Why doesn't Jesus say "and you shall go away to be punished forever?" why does he focus on the method of punishment rather than the application? Why is the method of punishment always the focus on each and every example ot how you will be punished or the duration???

Does that much spin make you dizzy? The verses I quoted speak about "everlasting punishment" and "unquenchable fire" and they are referencing the fate of people, not Satan or angels. It explicitly contrasts everlasting punishment with eternal life in heaven. The text is quite clear that Jesus is an immoral thug who revels in the idea of his enemies being tortured and that's been the common reading for Centuries; Dante didn't make his stuff up out of nothing. That many modern Christians choose to find ways to convince themselves that it says something less harsh is to their credit but it is still an attempt to spin vile dogma into something more palatable.

Quote:The method focuses on the fact that once the decision has been made there is no turning back.

It's just too bad that you can't get yourself all the way to something that would be actually moral and not just not quite as evil.

The only good thing is that there isn't a shred of evidence that any of this is more than the deranged fantasies of a primitive nd often barbaric society.
