Well it's sad you people consider Jesus Christ to be a liar.... these other scriptures need to be interpreted from Jesus's
point of view meaning perish is not ceasing to exist but instead is to be separated from the Lord for all eternity.
Matthew 25:46
And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.
People will remain awake and fully conscience as they are punished for eternity just like satan and his demons
Doesn't say that though so why claim it?
Matthew 25:46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.
G2851 - κόλασις kólasis, kol'-as-is; from ; penal infliction:—punishment, torment.

1) correction, punishment, penalty
The lexicon there says the word punishment in this verse means "correction, punishment, penalty" not firery
torment. As I have been saying, the kind of "correction, punishment, penalty" inflicted is unnamed in this verse but is given many places elsewhere as both death and destruction.
The righteous are not sinless but they repent and love God and believe upon Christ and that is counted righteous and though all are wicked in some sense, it is only those who love unrighteousness, who do not love God, who don't repent and don't follow Christ that shall be destroyed.
Matthew 7:13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate,
and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
Matthew 7:14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and
few there be that find it.
The way to destruction is wide and the majority will be destroyed. Only a minority will find the way to life.
Rev 20:10 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.
Technically only the Devil is said to be tormented day and night for ever but we can't assume “day and night forever and ever” is literal based on other scriptures that use the same type of language non-literally:
Isa 34:8 For it is the day of the LORD'S vengeance, and the year of recompences for the controversy of Zion.
Isa 34:9 And the streams thereof shall be turned into pitch, and the dust thereof into
brimstone, and the land thereof shall become burning pitch.
Isa 34:10
It shall not be quenched night nor day; the smoke thereof shall go up for ever: from generation to generation it shall lie waste; none shall pass through it for ever and ever.
Isaiah uses the same language concerning Edom and Edom is not still burning and people do pass through that area yet the verse says none shall pass through that area forever and ever. This is an intentional exaggeration and should be understood in that way just as Rev 20:10 should be.
Another example where "forever" does not mean forever:
Exo 21:6 Then his master shall bring him unto the judges; he shall also bring him to the door, or unto the door post; and his master shall bore his ear through with an aul; and he shall
serve him for ever.
Not literally forever of course. It simply means "a long time", ie: the rest of his life, an intentional exaggeration.
Jude 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.
Sodom and Gomorrha are not still burning therefore this eternal fire does not imply the target burns eternally but that this fire
exists eternally whether it has something to burn or not and since God is a consuming fire it makes sense that it is eternal because God is eternal.
Phm 1:14 But without thy mind would I do nothing; that thy benefit should not be as it were of necessity, but willingly.
Phm 1:15 For perhaps he therefore departed for a season, that thou shouldest receive him
for ever;
Of course this is impossible for mortal people to do which renders this as a figure of speech rather than literally "for ever".
Heb_2:14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he
might destroy him that had the power of death, that is,
the devil;
Even the devil will be destroyed.
Eze 28:18 Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee,
it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee.
Eze 28:19 All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and
never shalt thou be any more.
He will be devoured by fire, turned to ashes and shall never exist anymore. That's Annihilation.
"Ye shall surely not die."
Satan said that sin would not lead to death and he lied. Now we have a doctrine that also teaches that a life of sin will not lead to eternal death.
