Some concepts in Revelation are not literal, but metaphors for real things that will come to pass (such as the four horsemen). Some other concepts are very real (such as the AntiChrist and the Mark of the Beast). You can't throw it all into a Cuisinart and expect to make any sense of it that way. You must use discernment.
Your discernment tells you that the teaching of eternal suffering as presented by sonship et al, is incorrect. So we are in alignment.

RJHinds, do you think it is morally acceptable for members of ISIS to burn people alive for what they do or don't believe?
Then I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony of Jesus and because of the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received the mark on their forehead and on their hand; and they came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.
(Revelation 20:4 NASB)

I did respond to your charge that ISIS members burn people alive or something of that sort by informing you ISIS members are beheaders. 😏
Do you think it is immoral for them to burn him alive?
Here is a google list of links to the ISIS video of the event. Perhaps you should watch it and consider what it means to burn someone alive.

ISLAMIC STATE (ISIS) Muslim savages kill captured Jordanian pilot by burning him alive in a cage
If this is true, then it appears to me to be a retaliation for the Jordanian pilot raining fire down on the people of ISIS. So it had nothing to do with him being an innocent Christian deserving of a beheading.
This does not seem moral, but i guess you must also consider that this is also war and terrible things happen in war. We could also ask the question was what the pilot did moral? Again we must consider the fact that this is war.
