Torment is biblically based. To suggest it would be merely symbolic would only reinforce the suffering & imagery because symbols usually represent the actually reality or point to a higher reality. So Rev 14:10-11 if it’s not literal; then it’s worse than we can conceive. Furthermore, these words have meaning, “their torment”, “for ever & ever”. God is love, that’s His nature. | |

This is something that I've wondered about as well. If fire really burned-up spirit beings, they would not last long. On the other hand, if this was a "spiritual fire" -- whatever that means, spirit beings might experience torment but never annihilation, which we would like to think. We naturally tend to look at everything through a physical lens and are quite oblivious to spiritual realities. | |
