A flood of false doctrine has lately broken in upon us all.. Men are beginning to tell us “that God is too merciful to punish souls for ever…that all mankind, however wicked and ungodly…will sooner or later be saved.” We are to embrace what is called “kinder theology,” and treat Hell as a pagan fable… This question lies at the very foundation of the whole Gospel. The moral attributes of God, His justice, His holiness, His purity, are all involved in it. The Scripture has spoken plainly and fully on the subject of Hell… If words mean anything, there is such a place as Hell. If texts are to be interpreted fairly, there are those who will be cast into it… The same Bible which teaches that God in mercy and compassion sent Christ to die for sinners, does also teach that God hates sin, and must from His very nature punish all who cleave to sin or refuse the salvation He has provided.

Sheol, Hades, Hell... is a real realm friend.

You are correct and I've been to my personal 'hell' and back.
I know it's a realm; I'm wondering 'in what form' ?

Can people be saved -though both active faith and works, and walking the road less traveled, or by some other deeds...I hope so.

Does God or the divine, only save vs human- yes that I do believe.

Only the Lord has the power to save or make soldiers out of the once 'unwashed'; while the self can only save the self.
God Bless
