Hell and the Commandments "For ever and ever"?
Ps:9:5: Thou hast rebuked the heathen, thou hast destroyed the wicked, thou hast put out their name for ever and ever.
Ps. 111:7,8: The works of his hands are verity and judgment; all his commandments are sure.
They stand fast for ever and ever, and are done in truth and uprightness.
If "For ever and ever" or "Everlasting Punshment" in the Bible when it is talking about Hell actually means to be tortured eternally then why does Psalms 9:5 say that the wicked are destroyed and that God has put out their name for ever and ever?
How can it be both ways?
Also, if those who take the Bible literally and think that "For ever and ever" in regards to Hell means eternal torment that lasts throughout the ceaseless ages of eternity, then why dont they also think the Ten Commandments and specificually the SABBATH would last "For ever and ever" since the Bible says His Commandments will stand fast For ever and ever?
Notice it says "burn up"
Mt:3:12: Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.
Fire never quenched is hell fire:
Mk:9:43: 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
But the Bible just said they would be "burned up"
