The reason the Bible speaks of people being “thrown” into hell is that no one will willingly go there, once they see what it really is. No one standing on the shore of the lake of fire jumps in. They do not choose it, and they will not want it. They have chosen sin. They have wanted sin. They do not want the punishment. When they come to the shore of this fiery lake, they must be thrown in.
I agree with Piper.We cannot mitigate hell by assuming that people who reject God really understand how horrible hell really is. I have a question. Would people in hell repent of their sins if given a chance? I doubt it. I'm sure that they would leave hell given a chance, but are they willing to submit to God and worship him? Most likely not. That is why the are in hell.
