CMV: The Bible does not support a "burning forever in hell."

This is not an argument of whether the Bible is true or if God and/or hell truly exists. This is about how the Bible does not support a place where people go to when they die and be punished forever. For example, when Lazarus died, Jesus told his disciples that he was asleep. His disciples did not understand so Jesus had to plainly say that Lazarus was dead. (John 11:14). There are other verses that talk about death as a type of sleep and verses that say that the dead know nothing. Finally, the book of Revelations talks about the dead in Christ will rise first and meet Jesus in the air when he comes back. Why would they need to be resurrected if they were chillin in heaven already? The Bible supports a death that is like a deep sleep and that we don't go anywhere (to heaven or to hell) until the second coming of Jesus. So why does so many people believe in this burning forever in hell or even that their loved ones are looking down on them?
