That is very interesting, because we read in Rev 14:10 how the beast is tormented with fire, and there we go 'tormented" βασανισθήσεται
is the same word used to test gold to see how pure it was.... hmm, this is why I enjoy the Greek so much more than plain old English.
And here is another interesting thing Rev.14.10 says that the fire is in the presence of the lamb and the presence of the angels.
In English everything means annihilate, but not so in Koine Greek.
But then of course we do have to deal with the context and the greater consistency of the book to understand the word in context, but we certainly cannot dismiss an idea out of hand without proper investigation.

John 3:3-8 means different things to different people. So even if you got a
"yes" back from HiH, it may or may not be the yes you're looking for depending
upon what you think John 3:3-8 is saying.
For example: some folks interpret the water to be ritual baptism whereas others
believe it pertains to the living water about which Jesus spoke to the woman at
the well.

If it is written to know that God will be all in all then, then He must not be all in all yet. That is, God is not in sin, and He is not in the wicked, tho He is in the saints that've died in Him thus "though they die, they will never die." So when the time has come that God IS all in all, there will be no more those that (I'll use the word 'were' since they will be no more) wicked or sin, blaspheme, etc. Otherwise, He would be all in all except in that part which is conveniently excluded from 'all.' Heaven and Earth will be made 'whole,' which means, healthy, complete, in unity, missing nothing that is good (God).

I certainly agree with your observation that [Scripture] means different things to different people.
The important thing is what did Jesus mean when He used words in His communications? If words have any meaning and worth at all it's surely in that we the receivers of His words are meant to understand them as he intended and NOT what we want them to mean.
