If you are then if I write some things that you don't agree with I can be assured that you are at least tolerant of other's beliefs and won't get overly upset.
So do you consider yourself a tolerant person when it comes to the Bible?

According to Jesus as recorded in Matthew 13
So just as the tares are gathered up and burned with fire, so shall it be at the end of the age. 41 The Son of Man will send forth His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all stumbling blocks, and those who commit lawlessness, 42 and will throw them into the furnace of fire; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 43 Then the righteous will shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him hear.

Nothing there about the suffering being eternal
Originally posted by @sonshipsonship tries to smear some of his pre-monologue drool on divegeester's face instead of just addressing the OP. No surprise there, then.

Now when evening came, Jesus was reclining at the table with the twelve disciples. 21 As they were eating, He said, “Truly I say to you that one of you will betray Me.” 22 Being deeply grieved, they each one began to say to Him, “Surely not I, Lord?” 23 And He answered, “He who dipped his hand with Me in the bowl is the one who will betray Me. 24 The Son of Man is to go, just as it is written of Him; but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been good for that man if he had not been born.”
Seems to me there is more than simple death for Judas at least. The weeping and gnashing of teeth doesn't seem so pleasant.

You can tolerate different interpretations of the Gospel from Unitarianism.

Does it make sense to you for a person to derive the information about WHAT Jesus saves us from directly from the New Testament's words? Does it make sense to START there ?
" ... and you shall call His name Jesus, for it is He who will save His people from their sins." (Matt. 1:21b)
Why not start here?
Jesus came to save His people (people trusting in Him, His believers; His followers) FROM ... their sins.

Originally posted by @sonshipBut Christians get "saved" even if they continue "sinning". They don't get tossed into 'the lake of fire'. People who are not Christians - people who "do not let Jesus in" (as the OP put it) do get tossed into 'the lake of fire'. They are not "saved" from that punishment/revenge. So the last line of divegeester's OP dialogue stands, clearly.
