Rhetorical questions are intended to provoke
thought rather than bring forth an answer. It may well be the case that some,
having arrived at the definitive understanding on some matters, believe
that any other understanding is itself a lie/deception. That having been said
then, no further conversation is possible.

No the conversation goes like this Men HATE the concept of a place of
punishment for actual PEOPLE therefore they will do anything to overthrow that
PLACE for the disobedient, refered to in scripture. Some alegorize, some
remodel some avoid the thought altogether.
Why would Jesus use terminology such as repent - perish - destruction?
And just what IYO is this "Punish with everlasting destruction" that He
is going to personaly deliver?
And just what is "the lake of Fire and Brimstone" and why are the Beast
and the False Prohet (who were cast in previously) found still
there, when the Devil is cast into it. If the proper understanding is that it
is figurative of destruction?

'The Scriptural teaching on Hell is clear beyond question. What I, along
with most everyone I know believes concerning this matter is not open to
discussion.' Thereafter you would cite the Scriptures pertaining to Hell,
with the accompanying conviction that any differing interpretation of said
Scriptures would reflect something negative concerning such an
one?

And
Theologians revamp HELL before moving in
Suggested
reading: 1. 'Dare we Hope "That all men be Saved"? with a short
discourse on Hell - Hans Urs Von Balthasar 2. 'Four Views on
Hell' Counterpoints series 3. 'The One Purpose of God' An answer to
the Doctrine of Eternal Punishment' Jan Bonda 4. 'Hell': A Hard
Look at a Hard Question - The Fate of the Unrighteous in New
Testament Thought - David Powys 5. 'Hell Under Fire' - Modern
Scholarship Reinvents Eternal Punishment - Various
All texts,
including sacred texts, are subject to interpretation. This (Hell)
is but one more example.
