yes the bible does say the ungodly will be DESTROYED, that is a lot different to roasting forever and ever and ever. and at the end of the day those unGodly ones will have made their own choice to not be around to lap up the blessings that the true God is providing. is this the verse you mean.2 peter 3;13
Jehovah is not slow respecting his promise, as some people consider slowness, but he is patient with YOU because he does not desire any to be destroyed but desires all to attain to repentance. .................... when Jehovahs day comes, people will have decided what side of the fence they are on .

In Bible times the most thorough means of destruction in use was fire. (Jos 6:24; De 13:16) so, Jesus at times used the term "fire" in an illustrative way to denote the complete destruction of the wicked. (Mt 13:40-42, 49, 50; compare Isa 66:24; Mt 25:41.)
On one occasion Jesus warned his disciples against letting their hand, foot, or eye stumble them so that they would be pitched into Gehenna. Then he went on to say: "Everyone must be salted with fire." He must have meant that "everyone" who did what he had just warned against would be salted with the "fire" of Gehenna, or eternal destruction.—Mr 9:43-49;
