The very same verse you're referencing has Jesus calling hell "the eternal fire". That's a mighty fine cherry-picker you've got there.
Aren't you worried about directly contradicting the god you claim to worship?
Lek / Parkers Tan
From what I understand the lake of fire burns up the
"devil beast and false prophet"
(Satan/Antichrist/FalseProphet, opposite of Holy Trinity)
so by removing those influences, the souls are saved.
Man is made in the image of god
body/mind/spirit as a microcosm or reflection
of God/Christ/HolySpirit
So that part is pure and eternal, and it's the corruption
that is removed and burned away "cast into the lake of fire"
Disclaimer: Of course, I was told I am going to hell for teaching that all souls can be saved. So only listen to this interpretation if you are okay with whatever consequences result from this interpretation.
That is clearly contrary to what Jesus says in that verse. Now ou may or may not be a Christian, but Lek says he is, and I'd like to hear him justify his overturning of his own lord's words.

Hm. Technically it would seem that a fire being eternal doesn't necessarily mean the people in it will be there forever.
For what it's worth: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_reconciliation
Yeah, the Bible is not very clear on the matter. But I'd imagine that "eternal" applies to the punishment as well as the flames, for the simple reason that if the punishment isn't eternal, the length of time the flames last to the sufferer is irrelevant. If I say the plane flew eight thousand miles, do I need to add that the passengers did as well?
