So to sum up what I’ve learned about what I’ve agonized over for so many years - whether or not the outer darkness is forever and if religious hypocrites have to live there forever, no, I don’t think so because:
Revelation 21:
The one who overcomes will inherit these things, and I will be his God and he will be My son. 8 But for the cowardly, and unbelieving, and abominable, and murderers, and sexually immoral persons, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, their part will be in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”
And Revelation 22:
Blessed are those who wash their robes, so that they will have the right to the tree of life, and may enter the city by the gates.15 Outside are the dogs, the sorcerers, the sexually immoral persons, the murderers, the idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices lying.
