Hello resurrection33
I know it's hard at times to reconcile God's love with God's justice. We should not place one over the other. Jesus told us
Matthew 13:41-42, 49-50 “The Son of Man will send his angels, and they will gather out of his kingdom all causes of sin and all law-breakers, and throw them into the fiery furnace. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. So it will be at the end of the age. The angels will come out and separate the evil from the righteous and throw them into the fiery furnace. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Why the warning, if all will have repented by the time of their deaths ? Also note a majority of folks will die never knowing of a need or have a desire to repent due to our natural proclivity to sin . With all due respect your not making sense brother .
When we look at all of scripture.

If he is chastening you, sure (Heb 12:6). Could be he's let go of you and you're headed for hell (Heb 10:26).

Yeppers.
You've got that backwards. All are headed for hell if they do not receive Jesus as their Savior. No one goes to hell for their sin. They go to hell for their failure to trust in God's provision for their sin.
Are you a Calvinist?
If you are, read Haggai. Calvinists are indifferent and inactive--a waste of skin.

Nope, not even a micro second for those who are the redeemed of Christ. At the GWT only those who are judged and standing before the throne are cast into the lake of fire from which there is no escape. The redeemed of God are the witnesses viewing from behind the GWT. The great cloud of witnesses the heavenly host giving glory to God.
You are far from what the bible has to say on the matter.
Pr 16:25 There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.
What more can I say ?

John 3:16-21 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
19And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God."
john 1:1-4 "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2The same was in the beginning with God. 3All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4In him was life; and the life was the light of men. 5And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
john 8:51"Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death.
john 8:26-28 ""I have many things to say and to judge of you: but he that sent me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I have heard of him. 27They understood not that he spake to them of the Father. 28Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things.
John 4:24-26 "God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. 25The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things.26Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he.
John 6:63 "It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
john 12:48-50 "He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day. 49For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak. 50And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.
Revelation 19:11-13 "And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. 12His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. 13And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God."

Ok not quite following you internet here . Are you in agreement with the op and his following posts in this thread ?
Reading through them gives the strong sense everyone is saved or will come to repentance at the time of death .
The words of Jesus are to get us to repent and hell is somthing we go through at the time we sin not apart of final judgment.
