Hi LoveofTruth,
If you are referencing the statements from the Gospel of Mark, concerning "their fire never being quenched", Yeshua is therein expounding from the Prophet Isaiah:
Isaiah 66:22-24 KJV Restored Name
66:22 For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith YHWH, so shall your seed and your name remain.
66:23 And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one Sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith YHWH.
66:24 And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcases of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh.

If you look at it in the Septuagint with comparison to the Greek found in Mark you will see that, (although Mark 9:44 & 46 are disputed) Mark 9:48 is definitely a quote from Isaiah 66:24. Likewise, in the Isaiah passage from the Greek Septuagint, one might take special note that the "carcasses of men" in Isaiah 66:24 are not "full bodies of carcasses", but rather
body parts, like hands, feet, an evil eye that offends you, and so on and so on. In addition the word which is rendered "spectacle" in the Brenton Translation is also used for visions, (horasis-horasin as in Acts 2:17). It is not only prophetic language but allegorical and parabolic in nature, (as usual with the prophets).
I quote Mark 9:48 in place of Mark 9:44 & 46 simply because it is not disputed:
Mark 9:48 KJV
48. Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
Mark 9:48 W/H 1881
48 ὅπου ὁ σκώληξ αὐτῶν οὐ τελευτᾷ καὶ τὸ πῦρ οὐ σβέννυται·
Esaias 66:24 LXX-Septuagint (Brenton Translation)
24 And they shall go forth, and see the carcasses of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, and their fire shall not be quenched; and they shall be a spectacle to all flesh.

Esaias 66:24 LXX-Septuagint
24 καὶ ἐξελεύσονται καὶ ὄψονται τὰ κῶλα τῶν ἀνθρώπων τῶν παραβεβηκότων ἐν ἐμοί· ὁ γὰρ σκώληξ αὐτῶν οὐ τελευτήσει, καὶ τὸ πῦρ αὐτῶν οὐ σβεσθήσεται, καὶ ἔσονται εἰς ὅρασιν πάσῃ σαρκί.

"κῶλα" (kola) in the above is GSN#2966 "kolon" which is any limb of the body:
Original Strong's Ref. #2966
Romanized kolon
Pronounced ko'-lon
from the base of GSN2849; a limb of the body (as if lopped):
KJV--carcase.
And not only a limb but a limb as if lopped or chopped off!
Therefore what the Master teaches in the Mark 9 passage is in accordance with and expounds the Isaiah passage and, in fact, expounds to us the will of the Father, which is to cut off evil from ourselves and "mortify the deeds of the body" as Paul also says, (Romans 8:13 KJV) and again, mortify your own "members" which are upon your own "earth", (Colossians 3:5) because every man has his "Land" which he or she is set in charge over while the House Master is likened as to be "away in a far journey", (Mark 13:34-37) and we are no more our own when we enter into Yeshua faithfulness, and the eyes of our heavenly Father are upon His Land night and day from the beginning of the year unto the end of the year.
Therefore, in this allegorical light, one may properly understand the reasoning behind the statement concerning salt and fire at the end of the passage in Mark:
Mark 9:43-50 KJV
43. And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:
44. Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
45. And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:
46. Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
47. And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire:
48. Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
49. For every one shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt.
50. Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his saltness, wherewith will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have peace one with another.
Your presenting of your own body as a living sacrifice, which is your reasonable service, (Romans 12:1) means that since the teachings in Mark 9:43-50 and its companion passages are not literal body part cutting, hacking, and chopping off, (lol) therefore also your "members" of your "household" will not literally die, and therefore their worm shall not die, (for Yakob also is called a worm in Isaiah 41:14) and the "fire" thereof shall likewise not be quenched; for every one shall be salted with fire, (an immersion) and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt, (a preservative). And when the Master of the House comes he will bring with him those former "unruly members" of your household which you have been forced "to put to sleep", (otherwise why immerse for the dead, as Paul says, if those "members" of your household do not rise? verily they shall awaken before you and you will not precede them). Then shall Messiah quicken your mortal body, if you have done as he says, and those members will finally serve the Master properly under your rule or shepherding, in your dominion-kingdom, when the Master returns and rewards you for your deeds and good works, (1 Thessalonians 4:1-18). It is all allegory and parable and has nothing to do with teaching eternal conscious torment of literal human beings and their literal physical body parts. Perhaps when you go up to Yerushalaim of Above, and then return from your trip, then you will "see" the carcasses of those members of your household which have transgressed against the Father, (and oh what a terrible vision it may end up to be).
