There is an argument—a very convincing one—that Hell is not eternal for only God is eternal. Dualism like that of the Manichees was considered heresy in the day.

Quibbling.

“Eternal” includes more than our awarenes of time time, but from in time it includes all of the past as well as the present and future. The Lake of Fire is still in the future. When it will be occupied even the “past” while it has been occupied will not include eternal past.

Hell can be both forever and still not be eternal.

Daniel 12:2 niv
Multitudes who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake: some to everlasting life, others to shame and everlasting contempt.

Somehow; I am not convinced.

[Mark17]

Matter 25:18. Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels.
I interpret “everlasting,” to mean everlasting. It will exist eternally. One can spend one hundred trillion eons in the lake of fire, and come no closer to having his sins burned away, than if he had only been there for 5 minutes. People are dying every moment of every day, and (my own guess) possibly 95% of the world’s population will fall like snow ❄️ flakes into the lake of fire. There will be no escape, not now, not ever.
Now, the key is, to avoid the place. This is where we have differences of opinions, on how to accomplish that, but there is no place worse than the lake of fire, so it would behoove people to find out what the Lord says, about avoiding the place. 🔥

It’s not eternal as it was created so has a beginning.

It can have no end, but it still isn’t eternal.
