Since we are quoting Jesus lets see what he did say Popeyesays, because that's not entirely accurate.
Mt 13:40 "Therefore as the tares are gathered and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of this age.
41 "The Son of Man will send out His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all things that offend, and those who practice lawlessness,
42 "and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
Verse 50 of Matthew 13 also says the same thing again.
Since you quoted a verse from what Jesus was saying in Matthew 25, I too will quote the passage from which your verse was taken.
Mt 25:30 'And cast the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.'
31 ¶ "When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory.
32 "All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats.
33 "And He will set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on the left.
34 "Then the King will say to those on His right hand, 'Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:....
Mt 25:41 "Then He will also say to those on the left hand, 'Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels:
42 'for I was hungry and you gave Me no food; I was thirsty and you gave Me no drink;
43 'I was a stranger and you did not take Me in, naked and you did not clothe Me, sick and in prison and you did not visit Me.'
44 "Then they also will answer Him, saying, 'Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to You?'
45 "Then He will answer them, saying, 'Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.'
46 "And these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life."
Anyone reading the passage can easily tell that Jesus is referring to the consequences of ignoring himself. The weeping and gnashing of teeth is obviously
the everlasting fire and everlasting punishment. This complements exactly Matthew 13:40-42.
Still think there is no hellfire? Check out what else Jesus said:
Mt 5:22 "But I say to you that whoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment. And whoever says to his brother, 'Raca!' shall be in danger of the council. But whoever says, 'You fool!' shall be in danger of hell fire.
Mt 18:9 "And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes, to be cast into hell fire.
Jesus' own words...ignore them if you want but this is what he said. This also is what he said:
Mark 9:43 "If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life maimed, rather than having two hands, to go to hell, into the fire that shall never be quenched--
44 "where 'Their worm does not die, And the fire is not quenched.'
45 "And if your foot causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life lame, rather than having two feet, to be cast into hell, into the fire that shall never be quenched--
46 "where 'Their worm does not die, And the fire is not quenched.'
47 "And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye, rather than having two eyes, to be cast into hell fire--
48 "where 'Their worm does not die, And the fire is not quenched.'
49 "For everyone will be seasoned with fire, ...
Anyone seriously reading the Bible as God's word cannot come away from reading Jesus' own words and conclude there is no such thing as a place as hell. Three time in this passage alone Jesus warns the people about the seriousness of sin, that it will cause them to go to hell and then he proceeds to define hell as 'the fire that shall never be quenched'.
No one who treasures the Bible as God's word can conclude any different than what Jesus is teaching the people here. He would not deceive the people by lying to them as he would be doing if such a place as hell did not exist.
The way i look at it - you can either take Jesus' words or you can put your own words in his mouth - i know whose words i would rather trust.
I think the problem people who say there is no hell have, is that they cannot reconcile the characteristic of Love that we read about God having, with this fierce punishment. To them these two are opposites and cannot exist together. Sadly they miss out on truly knowing who God is - because it's a type of 'hippy' view of God (for want of a better word) that they have. God is love, peace, kind etc - Yes, he is all those things. But that is not all he is, he is Holy, pure, absolutely mind blowing in awesomeness, he is a Just God, he is a stern God, he is unmovable. When you understand God from this perspective sin takes on a completely different face, because you see the seriousness of it.
Sin is rebellion against God - it goes against all he stands for. I mean can you imagine standing infront of God, with his power and glory so intense before you, and you lying to him, stealing, swearing, gossiping, fighting etc Put all your sin in there - when you sin you are doing it against him. I cringe thinking about it.
The punishment fits the crime, God is Just, therefore it's eternal separation from God because we are stained from sin. The place where we are separated to is the place where God is not, and that is hell.
But hell was created for the devil and his angels - it was never meant for us, but we rebelled, all have sinned, therefore as the devil rebelled against God, so we will go to hell. The story doesn't end there - God in his mercy and love for us provided the only way out - there is simply no other way. Now the only person that will send you to hell is yourself - because the ball is in our court to make the decision whether to bear our own sins or to let Jesus bear them for us, and so accept and believe in what he did on the cross. God doesn't send you to hell, you send yourself there because you force God's hand - he has no option but punish you for your sins if you choose to bear them yourself. Did you think God enjoys sending people to hell?
Eze 33:11 "Say to them: 'As I live,' says the Lord GOD, 'I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn from his way and live. Turn, turn from your evil ways! For why should you die, O house of Israel?'
