My understanding is that the idea of a literal lake of fire or at least eternal torture is an old one in Christianity. At least as old as Augustine. If this is not truly what Jesus taught why is it so common that it is practically cannon? I thought the ideas of "softening" hell is a modern movement/invention to try and make hell more palatable to the modern culture where were the world is somewhat less brutal.
