No one is given immortality - the spirit is already eternal, and cannot be destroyed, anymore than God, who is a spirit, could be destroyed.
Scripture plainly states that the body and soul is destroyed in hell - conspicuously missing is it saying the spirit is destroyed.
Scripture clearly says the damned are conscious and in torment for eternity.
And FYI the earth is not totally burned up and destroyed- one fourth of the earth is burned up.
Just as the earth was destroyed by water, per scripture, but is the same planet, the earth will be cleansed by fire, then restored to edenic condition, but is the same planet.
Read Zechariah 14 and you will see that after Jesus returns and destroys the armies of the nations that are attacking Jerusalem, the people left alive from those nations, will come into Jerusalem each year to worship God, who establishes His home there for eternity.
Therefore the world can’t have been completely burned up and destroyed when Jesus returns in verse 5 of Zechariah 14.
Also if you buy into annihilationism, you also no doubt believe that hell is the grave,which can be completely be disproved by scripture
Scripture plainly states that the body and soul is destroyed in hell - conspicuously missing is it saying the spirit is destroyed.
SPIRIT
Judges 15:19; Ecclesiastes 12:7;
Luke 10:21
In the Old Testament, the Hebrew word ruach occurs 377 times and is translated "wind ... .. breath," or "spirit" (Genesis 8: 1), "life principle" (Genesis 6:17; Genesis 7:22), "courage" (Joshua 2:11), "vitality" or "strength" (Judges 15:19), "disposition" (Isaiah 54:6), and "moral character" (Ezekiel 11:19).
The "spirit" or "breath" of a person is identical with the "spirit" or "breath" of animals (Ecclesiastes 3:19). This "spirit" or "breath" of a person returns to God at the time of death, and the body returns to the dust where it came from (Job 34:14; Ecclesiastes 12:7). It is also translated "Spirit of God" (Isaiah 63:10). In the New Testament the Greek word pneuma is similarly translated as "spirit" or "to breathe." It is also translated as ,"mood," "attitude," or "state of feeling" (Romans 8:15; 1 Corinthians 4:21; 2 Timothy 1:7; 1 John 4:6). Like ruach, it is sometimes translated "Spirit of God" (1 Corinthians. 2:11, 14; Ephesians 4:30; Hebrews. 2:4; 1 Peter 1:12; 2 Peter 1:21).
Neither in the Old Testament nor the New Testament does ruach or pneuma refer to an intelligent entity capable of existence apart from the body.
Scripture clearly says the damned are conscious and in torment for eternity.
Then He makes them (the unsaved) immortal in a burning "hell" for eternity? Who is this monstrous god being put forth by some? Where is this "burning hell" located? How happy are those in heaven going to be knowing some of their friends and/or family are burning (being tortured for eternity)? What or who keeps this fire burning for eternity? God? Are they dead or are they alive? Must be alive. So God keeps them alive so they can be tortured for eternity? Good Grief! No.
2 Peter 3:7
By the same word the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire, being kept for the day of judgment and
destruction of the ungodly.
And then this promise is given:
But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you,
not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.
So the wicked will perish and we see that this fire is so consuming that it also destroys the elements.
But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar;
the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything done in it will be laid bare
But then after everything is destroyed in this way, God creates a new Heavens and Earth where righteousness and the righteous dwell.
Since everything
will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to live holy and godly lives as you look forward to the day of God and speed its coming.
That day will bring about the destruction of the heavens by fire, and the elements will melt in the heat. But in keeping with his promise
we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, where righteousness dwells.
But then some argue that the human soul cannot be destroyed because he made man as an eternal creature. Thus his soul cannot be destroyed and this fire and will instead, perpetually burn and the soul of a wicked man will suffer the flame for all eternity. But scripture teaches differently to this idea of eternal suffering in Hell. Besides contradicting what we just read about the destruction of the ungodly in the above verses, it is clear from this verse that everything is destroyed and a new creation comes into being. However, even more condemning for the ‘eternal soul’ view is the following scripture. It clearly shows that God in his mercy spared man the fate of living forever because of his sin.
And the Lord God said, “The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil.
He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever.” So the Lord God banished him from the Garden of Eden to work the ground from which he had been taken. After he drove the man out, he placed on the east side of the Garden of Eden cherubim and a flaming sword flashing back and forth to guard the way to the tree of life.
Clearly God the merciful stopped man from eating the tree of life after he sinned, thus sparing him from living forever. Besides merciful act by God, surely you can see that God is able to destroy a man’s soul and that he will indeed do this very thing. This is all written. We either accept it or doubt the scriptures that clearly show this.
Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of
the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell.
&
The soul that sinneth, it shall die.
Do you believe now, that God can and will destroy the wicked forever? Do you believe that he spared the wicked from existing for all eternity? You should believe that if you believe the scriptures.
And FYI the earth is not totally burned up and destroyed- one fourth of the earth is burned up.
See above.

The NEW Jerusalem descends from heaven ... it's not about the earthly Jerusalem of today on earth.
Revelation 21:2
Berean Study Bible
I saw the holy city,
the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
The war is between God and Satan ... and final judgement is He destroys all the wicked, satan and his minions for eternity .... sin totally eradicated for eternity.
Like in the days of Noah ..... Noah and a few were saved .... the rest destroyed by the flood.
2 Peter 3:7 E
But by the same word the heavens and earth that now exist
are stored up for fire, being kept until the day of judgment and
destruction of the ungodly.
2 Peter 3:12
Waiting for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which
the heavens will be set on fire and dissolved, and the heavenly bodies will melt as they burn!
