Jesus leads us to life
Go a head and hide behind the "sheol" explanation it changes nothing in reality. The bible teaches about hell, if there is no hell then, it realy defeats and invalidates Jesus's sacrifice on the cross.
I have never thought "Hell" was actually why Jesus died.
Some people live in so much emotional pain they kill themselves.
People desire good things, peace, love and happiness, yet find broken lives, pain and suffering, going from one disaster to another.
So Jesus came to open the door to life, the door being the cross.
It is why if you regard society as functional and ok, that if it was made eternal it would just carry on fine, Hell is punishment and destruction for sin, which does not lead to death, but is just fun without real consequences. But this is the illusion the world tells itself, to cope.
The lake of fire is the final resolution to failure, destruction, whether in eternal torment or isolation or something else.
So to save us from the world, which is dying and destroying the very life it has, suffering without relief, Jesus came. It is the world that is the problem not Hell.
So in this discussion one has to pitch in what is the world and what is Jesus saving us from.
