Yes I do support the word aion, it is used in Matt. 25:46 to describe punishment and life, same word for both. So both punishment and life are eternal or I've wasted my time. Also look up 2nd Thess. 1:9-10. Aion includes all of time, past, present and future.

New International Version (NIV)
3 For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. 4 They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths. 5 But you, keep your head in all situations, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, discharge all the duties of your ministry.
Paul is telling Timothy that he will encounter those who will seek false doctrine to fit their life style. He is also telling him that they will find teachers who will cater to them, not to be discourage because some will leave the faith.
You need to learn what scriptures are saying.

New International Version (NIV)
2 Peter 2
False Teachers and Their Destruction
1 But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them—bringing swift destruction on themselves. 2 Many will follow their depraved conduct and will bring the way of truth into disrepute. 3 In their greed these teachers will exploit you with fabricated stories. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping.
4 For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them to hell,[a] putting them in chains of darkness[.b] to be held for judgment;

Hmmm, destructive heresies and myths? Hades seems to fit that prophecy quite nicely.
The word Hades is the Greek word for hell and nothing more. Peter never intended to put Greek myths into scriptures.

Lamentations 3:30-32
New International Version (NIV)
30 Let him offer his cheek to one who would strike him,
and let him be filled with disgrace.
31 For no one is cast off
by the Lord forever.
32 Though he brings grief, he will show compassion,
so great is his unfailing love.
Why are you using a book and verses that are about the sorrows of exile, this has nothing to do with hell, it is a statement about earthly punishment not eternal. You sir are a cherry picker of the most desperately unknowledged.
I'm just curious GC. Did the holy ghost teach you all of this?
You know, embrace pagan ideals and holidays, human sacrifice, non-forgiveness, sunday worship (on the pagan sun-god's day?), fear-mongering, etc.....
