Okay, as Christians, we are taught about a Lake of Fire, but where is your scriptural basis for this. I see more in the Bible that talks about how we are to live our lives as examples of Christ.
What scriptures do you have to back up your beliefs that nonbelievers will go to hell? (John 3:16 doesn't count in this case since it doesn't talk about hell).
Thanks in advance for taking the time to research and answer.

Bt 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.
Jesus talked more about hell than anyone else. Jesus said, "I am He that lives and was dead; and behold I am alive for evermore, Aman, and have the keys of hell and of death."

Revelaltion 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.

First thing first in 2 Peter 3:9 God "IS NOT" willing that ANYONE should perish, however on Hell, Our God in Heb.12:29 is a consuming fire to where ever sin is found, In Mal.4:1-3 sinners are turned into ashes, in Matt.25:46 Jesus the second member of The Godhead Himself talks about everlasting punishment [NOT EVERLASTING PUNISHING] in Rev. 20:10 talks about the destruction of the wicked note the punishment is eternal [the death Rev 20:6] not punishment as for that lake of fire try the verses in 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.
20:11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
20:12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is [the book] of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
20:13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
20:14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
20:15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

Actually, I don't beleive that "HELL" being the fire and brimstone that so many believe, but I do believe it to be a separtion from God, say, that instead of being allowed to enter the kingdom you are doomed to stay on the outskirts of the golden city, what kinda hell is that! Actually I am not so sure that the concept of hell is to be taken literally at all.

Mark 3;28&29Verily I say unto you,All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men,and blasphemies wherewith soever they shall blaspheme:
But he that shall blaspheme aginst the Holy Gost hath never forgiveness,but is in danger of eternal damnation
Matthew 23;33 Ye serpents,ye generation of vipers,how can ye escape the damnation of hell?
Matthew5;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.
I have come to beleave through my years of study, that hell fire is the burning of lonelyness the burning that we go through when we are longing. It is very deep and not easy to explain. But if you could imagine what it might be like in the complete absence of God, that would be hell and would burn through the very soul of a man.

So if your eye--even if it is your best eye![6][your best eye, literally, "your right eye."] --causes you to lust, gouge it out and throw it away. Better for part of you to be destroyed than for all of you to be cast into hell matthew 5 also And be not afraid of them that kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. ( matthew 10.28) also
4 For if God spared not angels when they sinned, but cast them down to hell, and committed them to pits of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;2 peter 2 v 4 and revelations 20 v 13-17 speaks about anyone who,s name is not in the lambs book of life is cast into hell
