I like the message I’ve seen around on shirts etc. “Friends don’t let friends go to hell.”
One of the most profound words is in John 3:17: “For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.”
One of the saddest verses in scripture is: “In those days there was no king in Israel; every man did that which is right in his own eyes.” (Judges 21:25)
And to all: “By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the LORD men depart from evil.” (Proverbs 16:6)
As some have pointed out; you can rightly divide the word of truth, and you can wrongly divde the word of truth: In Timothy 2;15, we read: “Study to shew thyself approved unto God,(an AUG degree)a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly diving the word of truth.”

I like the Old Testament better, at least when it comes to concept of hell, which is absent.

In the OT, once you expired, whether it was through god's numerous genocides, plagues, or triggered natural disasters, he was done with you; there was no punishment for the dead.

If such a place actually existed, mankind should rightfully lobby for its abolition.
