This is the first verse you cited. It has nothing to do with what you are asserting.
That's the problem with finding sources who interpret the Bible to what they want it to mean. It usually has nothing to do with what is actually written.
Moreover, and I've seen this over and over as soon as a theist tells an atheist to provide passages in the Bible the conversation is pretty much done.
Ahem
Hell is not eternal.
Doom is eternal.
That's not the whole verse. Here's the whole thing:
It says about how the destruction will be complete-- "not a root or a branch will be left to them"
Honestly I completely agree here, there's so many things that are very clearly stated ("remember the Sabbath day and keep it Holy", "it's easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than a rich person to enter the kingdom of God", there are other examples that's just what I could think of off the top of my head) but people are like "well actually it might mean <something where you're like huh? Where'd that come from?>" or "nah I think imma just not read that bit"
I've seen this too sometimes, it's kinda sad that people don't know how to argue for their beliefs
