I'm going to play Christian's advocate and say that "everlasting fire" describes Hell but all who are thrown in immediately perish (which would follow, I suppose). The flames don't burn out but those thrown in do.
That's why I quoted Luke 16. Jesus is quite explicit about Hell being a place of torture.
Its always good to have a DeistPaladin on your side to help.
