is there anywhere in the Bible in which hell is referred to as eternal torture?
Revelation 20:10is there anywhere in the Bible in which hell is reffered to as eternal torture?
Maybe. (even with previous posts).... still maybe. You will have to go back to Hebrew and Greek to find the answer to your question, or someone who knows from the original languages the truth, and not from tradition of heaven and of hell. Tradition often is different than what is in the Bible.is there anywhere in the Bible in which hell is reffered to as eternal torture?
Revelation 20:10
10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
Should read, "where the beast and the false prophet were (cast)..." They were destroyed, thus were.
That would mean that hell is actually eternal life for the unrepentant. The wages of sin is death.

.....except Christ overcame death by His death.I didn't agree.....but checking.....seems you're correct at first look.
The death part looks to be final.

d. His Description of the Horrors of Hell
They were still somewhere on the surface of the Earth; but no living person or beings of light could be seen. Before them was a plain jammed with hordes of spirits who are the most miserable and angriest beings he has ever seen. Many were engaged in hand-to-hand combat with no weapons - trying in vain to hurt and kill those who didn't agree with them. A lot of verbal abuse could be heard between them as their thoughts could be heard by everyone around them the moment they are thought. Ritchie is horrified as he wonders what living in such a realm would be like - a place where you cannot hide from who you really are. These spirits were locked into destructive thought-patterns, rage and uncontrollable lust. Some were trying in vain to get sexual gratification from each other. The wailing coming from the hordes of unsatisfied spirits was tremendous. Other spirits were in despair saying things such as, "I always knew!" and "Didn't I warn you!" Ritchie realizes this place is truly hell. Their obsessive thoughts and emotions extended beyond the physical realm and into the spiritual realm where they cannot be satisfied. Yet there was nothing preventing any of the poor spirits in these realms from leaving. There was no condemnation coming from Jesus either - only compassion for these miserable spirits. Ritchie realizes Jesus hadn't abandoned any of them here. Instead they fled from the light to escape from having the darkness of their heart from being revealed.
Return to Top George Ritchie's Temple of Wisdom and Heavenly City Experience: They then travel to a completely different realm where some kind of enormous university is located. Spirits dressed as monks busily and happily engaged in some form of artistic behavior or research. An enormous library exists here where all the important books of the universe are assembled. Ritchie asks Jesus if this is heaven. These are the spirits of people who grew beyond selfish desires while on Earth; but, like the spirits in hell, these spirits cannot see Jesus either.

I keep tossing the idea around in my head. But I'm still undecided.I guess it is.

This is a good point, though - that we can't be contrasting eternal life with perishing and then state that the unrepentant will ETERNALLY live in order to face torment.That would mean that hell is actually eternal life for the unrepentant. The wages of sin is death.

Not so,The saved do bypass death...as far as God is concerned.
Materially, it all will have to go.
