But God could simply utterly destroy them if He chose to... what would be the purpose of keeping them alive but suffering eternally?
God would be aware of the suffering of those tormented souls for ever, it can't be what he wants....
So why do things that way, what would it serve to prolong that suffering for ever... Apart from the suffering of billions of humans, God himself would be being somewhat masochistic surely?
Why have that continuance of suffering/evil for ever? It seems a strange foundation for a new Jerusalem.

You are to provide "better" relief. Such a relief however is not without justification in terms of Law. There are no other names, besides Jesus, can do a justification by Law. So Jesus needs to be crucified the second time in order to provide such a justification.

It is however said that God is the God of living but not the God of the dead. It means God won't do anything for the dead as He's not their God. So the dead must ask their own god who is the devil to do anything for their relief.

Either you are with God or you are not. If not, the evilest and the most powerful will rule. That's the true meaning of hell disregarding where it is.

That part is true.

Agreed. not a very good point to it - so the Bible says instead that God will "destroy both body and soul in hell fire" Matt 10:28 instead of "keep body and soul alive for eternity in hell fire".

"28 And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell."
