To be eternally, consciously tortured, you need to have eternal life. Is eternal life biblical for sinners? If non believers have eternal life in hell, and believers eternal life in heaven, then eternal life is assured, it would only be where that is the question.
So with that in mind, try and make sense of these verses.
John 3:16""For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life."
John 3:36""He who believes in the Son has eternal life; but he who does not obey the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him."
John 4:14""...but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him shall never thirst; but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life."
John 5:24""Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life."
John 6:40""For this is the will of My Father, that everyone who beholds the Son and believes in Him will have eternal life, and I Myself will raise him up on the last day."
John 6:47""Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes has eternal life."
John 6:54""He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day."
John 10:28""and I give eternal life to them, and they will never perish; and no one will snatch them out of My hand."
Rom 5:21""so that, as sin reigned in death, even so grace would reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."
Rom 6:23""For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."
Titus 3:7""so that being justified by His grace we would be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life."
1 John 3:15""Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer; and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him."
Hebrews 10:26-27""If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left, but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire that will consume the enemies of God."
Psalms 9:5""You have rebuked the nations and destroyed the wicked; you have blotted out their name for ever and ever."
Matthew 10:28""Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell."
THe doctrine of eternal torture is not biblical. You will only find a couple of verses from Revelations that appear to support this doctrine, and Revelations is infamous for being difficult to understand.
