You need to read the OT better if that's what you think.Really? Please cite book and verse where eternal damnation is mentioned in the Old Testament. Please note that Sheol is not hell.

Your comment in post 70 was I like the Old Testament better, at least when it comes to concept of hell, which is absent.
The concept of hell (punishment) is not absent from the OT. The OT may not contain the vivid descriptions that the NT does, but it's clearly mentioned.

Actually, scriptures (both OT and NT) seems to describe eternal damnation as death or destruction after the final judgement, as opposed to eternal life.
"Many of those who sleep in the dust of the ground will awake, these to everlasting life, but the others to disgrace and everlasting contempt." - Daniel 12:2
But transgressors and sinners will be crushed together, And those who forsake the LORD will come to an end. - Isaiah 1:28
