Annihilatioinism vs. Eternal Suffering

Given his previous (winning) record with religious debates, I know that I have my work cut out for me. My quotes from the Bible will be from the NIV translation. In the following excerpt, I would like to place emphasis on verses 34 and 35Matthew 18:21-35 "The Parable of the Unmerciful Servant 21 Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, “Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother or sister who sins against me? Up to seven times? ”22 Jesus answered, “I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times. 23 “Therefore, the kingdom of heaven is like a king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants. 24 As he began the settlement, a man who owed him ten thousand talents was brought to him. 25 Since he was not able to pay, the master ordered that he and his wife and his children and all that he had be sold to repay the debt. 26 “At this the servant fell on his knees before him. ‘Be patient with me,’ he begged, ‘and I will pay back everything. ’ 27 The servant’s master took pity on him, canceled the debt and let him go. 28 “But when that servant went out, he found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred denarii. He grabbed him and began to choke him. ‘Pay back what you owe me! ’ he demanded. 29 “His fellow servant fell to his knees and begged him, ‘Be patient with me, and I will pay it back. ’ 30 “But he refused. Instead, he went off and had the man thrown into prison until he could pay the debt. 31 When the other servants saw what had happened, they were outraged and went and told their master everything that had happened. 32 “Then the master called the servant in. ‘You wicked servant,’ he said, ‘I canceled all that debt of yours because you begged me to. 33 Shouldn’t you have had mercy on your fellow servant just as I had on you? ’ 34 In anger his master handed him over to the jailers to be tortured, until he should pay back all he owed. 35 “This is how my heavenly Father will treat each of you unless you forgive your brother or sister from your heart. ”A few general observations from this parable ---God compares us and our sin to that of a man who owes money---The man's debt to the King was DEFINITIVE, albeit large. His debt was not infinite, but rather a tangible number (10,000 talents)---Our sin is compared to debt multiple times in the Bible (for example, see the Lord's Prayer, Matthew 6:12) The reason verses 34 and 35 are so important is because they describe what will happen to us if we do not go to heaven. The point of the parable is to emphasize forgiveness, and what will happen to you if you do not forgive your brother (you will go to hell). Verses 34 and 35 present a strong case for a non-eternal hell. My case is this- The man is tortured UNTIL (emphasis on until) he should pay back all he owed. Thus, the man must pay for his sins, and be tortured a definitive amount (remember, he owed 10,000 talents, which is a lot of money, but not an infinite debt). Thus, because the man's debt is finite, then his punishment is finite. Verse 34 strongly suggests that there is an end to this man's torture. I believe that in hell, you must pay for every sin that you have committed. After all, the point of Jesus dying on the cross was to save us from our sins. Just like Colossians 2:13-14 states "When you were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made you alive with Christ. He forgave us all our sins, 14 having canceled the charge of our legal indebtedness, which stood against us and condemned us; he has taken it away, nailing it to the cross. "Once again, our sin is compared to a debt that we must pay. However every debt is not the same. Luke 12:47-48 puts it very plainly: "The servant who knows the master’s will and does not get ready or does not do what the master wants will be beaten with many blows. 48 But the one who does not know and does things deserving punishment will be beaten with few blows. From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked. "It has been established that we all owe a FINITE debt to God, and this verse suggests that that debt varies from person to person. After all, doesn't this logically make sense? Consider this scenario- A man is born deep in the Amazon jungle. He lives and dies a normal life, without ever hearing about Jesus. Thus, according to Luke 12:47-48, he owes a smaller debt to God than someone who, for example, lives and dies in America, hearing about Jesus but never accepting him. Thus, each man's FINITE debt varies from person to person. The Parable of the Unmerciful Servant states that each man shall be beaten UNTIL (insinuates an end to his torture) he pays back all that he owes. Thus, we may conclude that in hell, you pay (are tortured) for every sin that you have committed. After all, our God is just, and doesn't that seem like the fair thing to do? Does it really seem fair for someone who never heard about Jesus to suffer eternally in hell? We are made in God's image and he has instilled his sense of justice in our hearts. I believe that most people will agree that eternal torment does not seem fair when not everyone has heard about Jesus (As I said earlier, Luke 12:47-48 shows that God agrees and his punishment for our sins does in fact vary from person to person). My opponent may try to argue that people will suffer differing degrees of pain eternally (thereby insinuating different "levels" of hell, like in Dante's Inferno). But this cannot be the case, because if the torment is eternal, than the varying degree of it does not matter. Consider these math equation --- 2 x ∞ = ∞ 9 x ∞ = ∞(This equation demonstrates hell from the point of view of Con, someone who believes in eternal torment). The 2 and 9 can be considered as level of sin one has committed, thereby being their "level of torment". The ∞ is the amount of time. The end product is the total amount of pain one must suffer. Thus, both people who sin a lot and little would suffer the same amount in an eternal hell. However, we know this is not the case because of what Luke 12:47-48 tells us. So the correct equation is this-- 2 x 100 = 200 9 x 100 = 900This equation supports annihilationists view. Someone who has sinned little or has never heard of Christ (equation on left) will suffer less total pain than someone than someone who knows of Christ but deliberatley sins (equation on the right), as each will only suffer 100 units of time, not eternally. This equations satisfies every single verse that I have mentioned. It satisfies the necessity for some receiving "many blows" and some receiving "few blows". It satisfies the price we must pay for our sin, as we suffer "UNTIL we have payed back all that we owe. " Most importantly, it satisfies the notion that we serve a just and merciful God. Con, I eagerly await your response.
