One other thing, which I forgot to address and that is hell.
One of Platos most famous stories is the one of Atlantis, which according to him was situated west of the Pillars of Heracles (Gibraltar), and consisted of a mighty people of great virtue. This ideal state was destroyed when the people was corrupted.
It was Plato who invented the concept of Hell. In his dialogue Gorgias he speaks of the eternal punishments, a thought later adopted by the Christians.

That Scripture you quoted from Revelation tells us the lake will burn forever, not those who are consigned to the lake of fire. Scripture is clear that only God has immortality and that the body and souls of those who reject God's will be destroyed.
Psalms 44:25-26
25 For our soul has sunk down into the dust;
Our body cleaves to the earth.
26 Rise up, be our help,
And redeem us for the sake of Thy lovingkindness.
NAS
Matthew 10:27-28
28 "And do not fear those who kill the body, but are unable to kill the soul; but rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
NAS
1st Thessalonians 5:23
23 Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you entirely; and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved complete, without blame at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
NAS
The word translated "hell" in Matthew 10:28 is Gehenna, which is where Jerusalem's trash and dead bodies of animals were burned or destroyed. The concepts of hell and an immortal soul are both from Greek philosophy and we know that Origen of Alexandria and Augustine of Hippo both interpreted the Bible by appealing to Neoplatonism and that later Christian scholars appealed to Aristotelian philosophy.
