On what basis should I believe Christ and the saints will reign forever and ever LITERALLY, but the Devil and hosts with lost will not be tormented forever and ever LITERALLY?

On what basis should we believe that Christ will literally "reign forever and ever " (Rev. 11:15) but the Devil and his hosts will not literally be "tormented ... forever and ever " ( Rev. 20:10) ?
Shhhhhhh!.
Just ignore the question Divegeester.
Nobody will notice that you won't address the question.
Are you saying Revelation 11:15 is literal because it conforms to the character of God, but Revelation 20:10 is NOT literal because it does NOT conform to the character of God?
Is that your argument ?
Shhhhh!
It will go away Dive. No one will notice your dodging.
Just wait it out - "business as usual".
@divegeester saidSo dive, what say you about these verses?
Is that a yes or a no?
Crazy days LOL
"15 And if anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire."
God just poking fun, only kidding, or is this as real as it is going to get?
Judgment Before the Great White Throne
11 Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. From his presence earth and sky fled away, and no place was found for them. 12 And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Then another book was opened, which is the book of life. And the dead were judged by what was written in the books, according to what they had done. 13 And the sea gave up the dead who were in it, Death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them, and they were judged, each one of them, according to what they had done. 14 Then Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire. 15 And if anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.

@sonship saidThis is my thread, my challenge. When you response to the OP unequivally, or to the broader question “is the book of Revelation entirely literal, yes or no?” Then I may answer your questions sonship.Are you saying Revelation 11:15 is literal because it conforms to the character of God, but Revelation 20:10 is NOT literal because it does NOT conform to the character of God?

Don't worry about it any longer. I do believe I got my answers from you already, indirectly.
Your emotions rule your method of interpretation of the Bible.

May I just remind readers that this is my thread, it is my original challenge which remains unanswered.
Are there any Christians who would like to take up my challenge?

You claim it wasn't answered and you post an answer given. So no how about
answering my questions to you?
@divegeester saidIf and when I do it will have nothing to do with you, now what does have something
KellyJay are you going to answer sonship’s question out to you on page 22? It’s a great question.
to do with you is answer my questions to you, since I answered your according to
you.
@divegeester saidWe will see if that is true now.
I will answer any question you put to me once you have answered the original question in hand.
This is excellent!
As usual the "Internet Christians" lacking any courage and integrity.
