Why does all sin require eternal punishment?

Is eternal punishment in Hell fair?

No. Eternal punishment in Hell is not fair. But it is just. There is an important difference between the two words: fair and just. Or at least, there has been an important difference between them for English speakers until about the last few decades or so. The traditional meaning of “fair” is “treating people equally.”
