(Don't even try to say He won't do that; that we will send ourselves to hell. That is utterly absurd, and it isn't even in the Bible!)

God is holy and God is love. Every judgment He makes is righteous. There will be no injustice in His casting the wicked into the lake of fire. If a human being was doing it, it would be evil. Our Holy God can and will do it, and it will not be a contradiction to either His holiness or His love for humanity. He is not willing that any should perish but that all would come to repentance. But many will perish.
