But you admire Jacob? They’re both from the same book - either you believe one or none - you can’t pick and choose.
I can pick in choose who in the Bible to most model my life on. Samson, for example, is considered a hero, but it doesn't mean I have to shave my head for my wife. Nu.
I'm Jewish. There is no Hell -- nor any firmly set view of the after life -- in Judaism. Hell is only a Christian concept, perhaps borrowed from Greek mythology.
God doesn’t owe you anything. You are the one who has transgressed his law. You owe him everything.
Maybe I have transgressed and maybe I haven't. However, as parents have responsibilities towards their children, so does God towards His.

I would suggest you re-read your Old Testament again, then.
Your disbelief of hell does not change its’ reality, and the fact that you will face God as a sinner on your last day. All your clever rationalizations won’t save you, only Christ can. But only if you are trusting in Him as your savior.
At this point, I can say no more than what I’ve already said. I pray that you will turn from your ways and seek salvation through Christ.
