Is hell eternal?

So you agree with Jesus that the king in the parable is God and servant represents us.

These are on topic questions Eladar, here they are again:

1) What biblical evidence do you have that Jesus wanted to prevent people attaining eternal life?

2) Do you take everything writing in the bible literally?

Hello Eladar...

Why or why not?

No, so it's not really 'hell' by definition.
I would say more a purgatory with the chance of 'coming back' . That would be more in line with a loving god.
It could also be argued that some already live in purgatory in this lifetime here on Earth.

Is this literal?
Rev. 14:11 And the smoke of their torment will rise for ever and ever. There will be no rest day or night for those who worship the beast and its image, or for anyone who receives the mark of its name.”

Also if hell is not eternal does that mean Hitler and Judas will get out sometime?

Is purgatory on earth like the people in prison?

Are you somehow better than them, and if so how do you justify that biblically?

Nope we are all sinners. So do you think Hitler will get out?

Yes we forgive because we were forgiven completely.

What happened to the guy who was forgiven much who doesn't forgive little? He was held accountable for his debts.

He was handed over to torturers until he could repay an unpayable debt.

You saying that doesn't make it part of scripture.
