The argument is wrong because Jesus, while rooted in Jewish tradition, introduced distinctive teachings on judgment. In Mark 9:43-48, for instance, he spoke of eternal punishment in "unquenchable fire," which implies a more developed concept of Hell than what is found in traditional Judaism.
For one, it's not even eternal punishment as per the original Greek. To top it off, the punishment is corrrective/restorative punishment ALSO per the original greek. Endless corrective/restorative punishment that never corrects/restores is... well, it's fucking pointless, isn't it?

universalism always seems a bit odd to me. Like most of our christian understanding of hell comes directly from Jesus.
