Really? Please cite book and verse where eternal damnation is mentioned in the Old Testament. Please note that Sheol is not hell.

Well, that's a matter of opinion.

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.

Where is eternal damnation for the dead mentioned in the NT? Please cite an example.

Sheol does not represent eternal damnation and was a place for righteous and unrighteous alike, like Hades; it doesn't count.
