No. God told the first humans, Adam and Eve, that their punishment for disobedience would be death, not eternal punishment. Eternal punishment is not a Biblical teaching. Romans 6:23 says that the "wages sin pays is death." Again, death not eternal torment. The opposite of life (our reward) is death.
The idea that God has given some fiery place of torment to Satan for him to rule over is blasphemous. It suggests that God and Satan have some kind of partnership. God has nothing to do with Satan. Eventually, he will suffer the same judgment as all unrighteous humans - he will simply no longer exist.

The blogbaba doesn't even know what "justice" is most of the time issues are to convoluted. But like "right" or "wrong" he recognizes it when he sees it. God will judge people, and what the blobgaba thinks is of no concern. The blogbaba will at least be able to dodge the statement, "I never knew you" if I meet Him face to face.
I love writing in third person, cracks me up.
"Punishment" is such a negative word, even if I thought I deserved it, I wouldn't admit it. Let God define eternal stuff, a man (or woman) does what they are able. Hopefully they don't offend God with their actions. If they do offend God, our opinion won't hold a lot of weight anyway if he decides to punish them.

If I reject God and His plan of salvation and willingly continue to sin and not seek forgiveness from the Lord and those I have sinned against, then yes I deserve eternal punishment. We all fall short of the Glory of God, but with His gift of salvation we can have eternal life if we so choose to accept Him

I've been married 3 times. It seemed like eternal punishment.

you're playing the "loving God" card again, aren't you....
Hell exists for one reason and one reason alone. God cannot stand sin, nor does He allow it in His presence. So logically, He has to keep sin as far away as possible from His abode, Heaven. Because sin brings about separation from God, it also brings about separation from God's goodness (for lack of a better term). If you're not in the place of goodness, you're in the place of evil, as no gray area exists. So if you're not in the good, happy, comforting place, you're in the vile, despised, torturing place.
and yeah, eternal punishment is fine. though I won't be subject to it.

Nothing deserves unending punishment. Even if I were committing some evil act from birth to death, that is a finite amount of time, so a just punishment would also be finite, even if it was a vast length of time.

Your name reminds me of somebody I miss very much!
Hope she is Still Alive.
She was agonna take a Brass to Bush last Time I talked to her!
After Adam Sinned, his Spirit got messed up (the Sin he Commited messed it up).
It (the messed up Spirit) keeps us out of GOD's Presence.
That messed up Spirit damns us to Hell if we Don't get that thing Recreated (Saved, Born-Again).
Jesus is the Only One Who can Recreate it for ya.
Ditto and hope this helps.......................
