First of all, obviously this thread isn't about what the Bible says re final destiny.
Secondly, there are many other threads here that discuss what the Bible says re final destiny. And prove universal salvation is the Scriptural truth of the matter.
Thirdly, therefore, i'm not going to respond to off topic remarks, such as yours, in this thread.
YOU--- mentioned--widespread eternal destruction in your post op. final destiny is in your topic.
The OP refers to "early church writings" such as in Clement of Rome, Epistle of Barnabas, Origen.
Likewise the next 4 posts after that, all my posts.
Again, this topic is not for discussing Scripture. There are already - literally dozens - of threads discussing Scripture in relation to final destiny. Why don't you go post in those.
The Lake of Fire is a place of refuge; a safe haven - where humanity will be in his presence.
It's not a torture chamber of eternal damnation, nor one of utter annihilation or destruction.

It's a place of purging or refining, not one of utter destruction.

Actually, he said many would be entering in that way, so you should study what it is to be purged or refined.
And you might consider finding new teachers as well.
