It takes only a bit of study to figure this out... Notice the word used in the Bible to physically burn something is a different word than to burn with passion... If unmarried people were to "burn" in hell there there was a word for physical burning this was Katakaio. Puroo was a word used for a burning of passion. Here are all the scriptures containting words translated "burn" in the NT.
Mt 3:12
Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up [Katakaio] the chaff with unquenchable fire.
Mt 13:30
Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn [Katakaio] them: but gather the wheat into my barn.
Lu 1:9
According to the custom of the priest's office, his lot was to burn incense [Thumiao] when he went into the temple of the Lord.
Lu 3:17
Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and will gather the wheat into his garner; but the chaff he will burn [Katakaio] with fire unquenchable.
Lu 24:32
And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn [Kaio] within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures?
1Co 7:9
But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn [Puroo].
2Co 11:29
Who is weak, and I am not weak ? who is offended, and I burn [Puroo] not?
Eph 6:16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery [Puroo] darts of the wicked.
Re 1:15 And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned [Puroo] in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.
Re 3:18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried [Puroo] in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.
Comment :The word tried is the same as the word "purged" [Puroo] and, masturbation, is also a burning or purging of emotions.
3:12
Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire [Puroo] shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat ?
Comment: The heavens being on puroo is like saying energy was burning...
Re 17:16
And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn [Katakaio] her with fire .
Comment: The beast shall eat her flesh and "burn" [Katakaio] her with fire. Why didn't God use the word "puroo" instead?
