Question for Christians: If you don't have an eternal soul until you accept Jesus as your only Lord & Savior, what goes to hell forever?

None of these posts really answer my question. They're just quotes that don't really have any proper context or explanation.
According to the Bible.
John 3:16
New International Version (NIV)
16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
So if you do not have eternal life prior to that, how can you spend eternal life in Hell if you did not have it before?
If you did have it before, why does John 3:16 say that you only get eternal life after believing in the only Son?
Can anyone answer this question without posting a huge long quote?
Quoting: SaveTheLivingEntities Like I tried to say before (maybe my user id changed), nobody spends eternal life in hell because this is not eternal life, but eternal death (and eternal perishing). Eternal life can only be spent in heaven. Try to understand this way: if christians have "eternal life", why does their body die? It would be a similar apparent contradiction. Furthening my answer: how can souls spend eternity in hell if they die? They'll be ressurrected (their bodies) before the white throne judgement, they'll be ressurected with indestructible bodies, judged and then sent to an eternal death (to perish eternally) separated from God. This is very sad, and we can't comprehend how much sad and suffering this is, but this is what explains your doubt, i think.
