The terms "eternal", "everlasting" and "forever and ever" are in the NT concerning torment in fire. Why would God insist that it's "eternal", "everlasting" and "forever and ever" if it will end? To deny the "eternal Hell fire" is totally false hope and can only lead to DIRE consequences.

How do you know God did this? You're told by a church that created Hell that God did this.
Think about what they're asking you to accept about a loving creator.
God created imperfect humans after he chose which ones he'd save from himself and before he created the world where they'd come to fall from his grace in the garden he made for that purpose. Then he created a place of eternal suffering to receive those imperfect humans he'd created to be that way, because they weren't the one's he'd named to save in his Book of eternal life.
Christianity is grounded in Judaism which came first. There is no Hell as Christians believe to exist in Judaism.
"The doctrine of hell is an evil doctrine that originated from pagan mythology, but the Roman Catholic church used it to put fear in to the minds of people only for control. It is documented that many Roman Catholic officials would charge fees for the forgiveness of sins and for the indulgence of certain sins."

I had an occasion to ask a JW about "annihilation" once. IF he was right, then I had no incentive to join his religion. IF Scripture {ETERNAL Torment} Was Correct, Then should not he, the JW, Have EVERY INCENTIVE to FIND The TRUE JESUS?
He went away, but I prayed for him, as he headed for DIRE consequences
Still praying and Hoping all today will find:
God's Simple Will!

If you need to believe in suffering eternal hell fire awaits you if you don't believe in God, so be it.
Islamists believe you're going to Hell for being Christian. You believe they're going to Hell for being members of Islam.
Every religion's believers think every other religions believers are going to regret not being their kind of believer.
But there's only one God.
Humans.
We're funny like that.
