...tortures forever and ever?
The Bible says He does it Instantly and the results are eternal, they can never come back or have a second chance.
2 Thessalonians 2:8 - And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
I tried to make this question clearer as everyone seemed to misunderstand the last one.

I understand what you are saying,and you are right on. The wicked will be destroyed instantly. Woe to that preachers who teach otherwise. If I thought God tortured the way most people believe,I would hate him. How could you love a God like that?

Why could a human be qualified to bypass judgment on God?? even with God does is the suited to do.. What you element out is the position he destroys their actual bodies. This decrease than talks about the soul. Rev 20:13 And the sea gave up the lifeless that were in it; and absence of existence and hell presented up the lifeless that were in them: and they were judged each guy in accordance to their works. Rev 20:14 And lack of existence and hell were forged into the lake of fireplace. that's the 2d lack of existence. Rev 20:15 And whosoever replaced into no longer found written contained in the e book of existence replaced into forged into the lake of fireplace.

both are unexceptable - torture or consume - both contradict with my notion of God -endless love, affection and forgiveness. I cannot accept the idea of hell - in Kuran it is said clearly that hell exists and you will have no second chance - i hope that it is a symbol for something else -otherwise i hope that my whole soul changes when i die in order to be able to accept such a cruel God

i won't serve any of the gods you mention.
but if left with no choice - rather be consumed instantly instead of landing up with some-one posing silly questions all day - now that will be torture.

I would rather have a god that serves me...i mean, gods are supposed to be loving and powerful right, so why should i have to serve god? parents serve their children, not the other way around.

If you define wicked as totally without morals and destroys lives without a conscience thought I would say yes to #2.

hmmm. I guess I'd rather be punished instantly than punished forever.
Luckily, my G-d doesn't do either. But I'm also jewish, so I cant vouch for christianity and the "NT".

It never really says that "people" will burn and be tortured forever in the lake of fire, it's says that Satan and his angels will be tortured and burned forever. People will be tossed in the lake of fire and receive the second Death.
