Apparently, you are one of those that pick and choose which scripture you wanna believe... and then claim the ones you don't like or lies that got put in their by mistake...
Here, let me give you some Bible references on this subject so you can know hell IS real according to Jesus... that you obviously have a problem believing to be truthful:
"And if your hand or your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it from you; it is better for you to enter life crippled or lame, than having two hands or two feet, to be cast into the eternal fire," (Matt. 18:8)
"And these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life" (Matt. 25:46). In this verse, the same word "eternal" is used to describe the punishment of the wicked as well as the eternal life of the believer. The punishment is endless as is the eternal life of the believer.
"And these will pay the penalty of eternal destruction, away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power," (2 Thess. 1:9).
"Just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities around them, since they in the same way as these indulged in gross immorality and went after strange flesh, are exhibited as an example, in undergoing the punishment of eternal fire" (Jude 7).
These men are those who are hidden reefs in your love feasts when they feast with you without fear, caring for themselves; clouds without water, carried along by winds; autumn trees without fruit, twice dead, uprooted; wild waves of the sea, casting up their own shame like foam; wandering stars, for whom the black darkness has been reserved forever," (Jude12-13).
Matt. 3:12 says, "And His winnowing fork is in His hand, and He will thoroughly clear His threshing floor; and He will gather His wheat into the barn, but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire." (See also Luke 3:17)
The following citations are from Greek dictionaries and Lexicons. They show that the word "unquenchable," which is asbestos in the Greek, (which occurs only in Matt. 3:12, Luke 3:17, and Mark 9:43) means unquenchable, without end.
"unquenchable, inextinguishable"
"not quenched"
"pertaining to a fire that cannot be put out" - "unquenchable."
"unquenched, unquenchable"
"that cannot be put out"
"inextinguishable"
Daniel 12:2
Many of those whose bodies lie dead and buried will rise up. some to everlasting life and some to shame and everlasting contempt
And of course there's the Rich Man and Lazarus Luke 16:19-31... Jesus said this was the account of a certain rich man, and a certain poor man so this is a real account where Jesus says the rich man is in hell, and he is tormented.
Matthew 5:22
But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.
Matthew 23:33
Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?
Matthew 25:41
Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:
This is pretty well the smoking gun right here... if God is going to put those in hell asleep and they cease to exist, then why is Jesus saying they will experience the same everlasting fire satan and his devils will experience? Certainly, satan and his devils aren't going to be put to sleep and Jesus is saying those that are going there with him will be in "everlasting fire" meaning they gonna be burning forever and ever.
Mark 9:43
And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched
Mark 9:45
And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched
Revelation 20:14
And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
Also, the Bible warns of the eternity and permanency of hell!
everlasting fire Matthew18:8, 25:41
everlasting punishment Matthew 25:46
everlasting chains Jude 1:6
eternal damnation Mark 3:29
eternal judgment Hebrews 6:2
eternal fire Jude 1:7
unquenchable fire Matthew 3:12
the fire that never shall be quenched Mark 9:43, 44, 45, 46, 48
fire unquenchable Luke 3:17
mist of darkness is reserved for ever 2 Peter 2:17
the blackness of darkness for ever Jude 1:13
The lake of fire is said to be the second death in two verses. Rev 21:14, 21:8. But the lake of fire is not synonymous with death. Three beings are thrown into the lake of fire but they do not die, they are tormented day and night for ever and ever. At least one of those beings is a person, the false prophet.
Rev 20:10
And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
Rev 20:15 and 21:8 show that many people will be thrown into the lake of fire. But Rev never says that anyone dies (cease to exist as some try to teach) in the lake of fire and it says nothing about changing man's sinful nature.
Rev 20:15
And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
Rev 21:8
But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
