Your view of Hell is not that important; just study the scriptures and pray to God for an understanding of the truth. What matters most is whether you believe the Gospel or not, and whether or not you rest in the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ.None the less, there are hints to 'universalism' in Scripture.
And i personally hope EVERY human will be saved, albeit THROUGH the Fire perhaps.
Let's not forget that there are many false teachers to blame, not necessarily the mislead.
John 3:16
God loved THE WORLD so much, not just believers.
But the condition is belief in Christ though, in the same verse.
You see, i hardly know any believers, i practically only know unbelievers (in real life).
And why was Israel not allowed to cheer about the Egyptians deaths?
"They are my children too" God said.
I love the people in my community.
But they're blind(ed), like i used to be.
So i'm a conditionalist, but i hope for universalism to be true.
Except obviously for those who really don't want to once they see.
I don't know...
But i believe God is good and loving and just.
It seems to me that 'not getting it' in our puny 80 years on the timeline doesn't justify being destroyed.
But i could be wrong.
I have tried, when i found myself believing in the 'traditional' view, to see the Love of God, but i couldn't see it anymore.
I hated God for it.
A puny 80 years on the timeline and 'not getting it' just doesn't justify an eternal life in torture, forever, endlessly.
It would be pointless too.
And so, hating God for that would mean i would end up being tortured forever too, you see.
So you can imagine the struggle i have had with the 'traditional' fallacy.
I think people fail to realise what it would mean, to have a place somewhere where people you have known and loved (like God commanded !) but who didn't hear the Word, being tortured for ever, eternally, without an end or outcome, without a purpose, while the saved are in a good place with God, praising Him.
Think about it.
