The question for debate is does hell exist? If so, what does the Bible teach hell is?

What about the lake of fire and brimstone?

And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever. (Revelation 20:10)

It is symbolic of complete destruction, non-existence. "Torment" was used to show that the devil and his minions would not be able to do anything, as if they were jailed. That signifies their total obliteration. The Scripture says that they would be "jailed" forever, to never be able to carry out any of their plans, a poetic way of saying they will absolutely die.

If that is your interpretation, would you agree that Sodom and Gomorrha still on fire today?

Jud 1:7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire
