Christianity is my source.

True the Bible doesn't say this, but Christianity long ago chose its own
traditionally held beliefs over the Bible.

Their use of the Bible to justify this belief (repent or go to hell) may
not be completely unwarranted, as Jesus did say that if you don't follow
him, you will suffer eternal death (elsewhere defined as the lake of
fire, where the suffering never ends)
