First off, we have several Churches(Particularly Fundamentalist Churches) that only allow use of the King James Version.  Why is the KJV the only approved bible?  Because they have translated Gehenna, Hades/Sheol and Tartarus as Hell, and have translated their word Aion as Eternal, Everlasting.  So why cant other translations be used? Because many of those translations dont translate the bible as the KJV does, and therefore could refute their doctrine. 

The second point is, many people try to prove eternal torment by such documentaries by people who claimed to have went to hell, such as Bill Weise and Mary Baxter.  Its pretty clear Bill Weises imagery came from Dantes Divine Comedy, and Mary Baxter had some psychological problems.  Others try to prove that Eternal Torment is real based on this doctor Maurice Rawlings who supposedly witnessed many of his patients go to Hell, who were originally atheist.  Funny how they dont mention all the heavenly NDE's that outnumber all the Hellish NDE's. 

If the original Hebrew/Greek Scriptures dont teach Eternal Hell, then the doctrine has absolutely no ground, and can only be supported by non-bible sources, and cults made up of brainwashed people.
