I like the message I’ve seen around on shirts etc. “Friends don’t let friends go to hell.”

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.

You need to read the OT better if that's what you think.

I still learning to love the O.T. and the N.T. equally, since both focus on God’s provision for His Son to provide redemption. “And Abraham said, My son will provide Himself a lamb.....” (Gen. 22:8a)
Then in John 1:29, “The next day John seeth Jesus unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God which taketh away the sin of the world.”
And in O.T. book of Isaiah 9:14 “Therefore the LORD Himself shall give you a sign; Behold a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel(God with us)”.
We know in the N.T. “A voice from heaven spoke, and said, “This is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased, Hear Him.”
