I think that is a very good question.  And I certainly cannot "answer" it.  But here are some thoughts in response:

If - the question itself is based on a previous reply, does God actually send people to hell?  I know people will answer this in radically different ways, and many - if not most - will use the Bible to arrive at those responses.  But three quick pieces jump to mind as important thoughts on that BIG IF.  

In Hosea 11 God "remembers" that God is not mortal but God, and that God can decide to forgo retributive justice for mercy and redemptive love.  So God, prepared to "reign hell" in a way, stops God's self from doing so out of divine mercy.  

Similarly when Jesus greets "doubting" Thomas post-resurrection Jesus tells us (through the foil of Thomas) that he would like that we would have believed without needing to see, but that won't stop God from getting redemptive faith by any means necessary - even if it means needing to touch wounds, or descending into Hell itself.

Thirdly that Psalm 139 builds on that thought, blend in a bit of 1 Peter 3 if you read it that way, and you get the idea that perhaps hell isn't any more final judgement than a mid-term grade in school.  The Psalmist says, that regardless of ascending into heavens or lying in Sheol, God is there.  So maybe we need to rethinking what exactly hell is anyway.  It doesn't seem to me that hell is any more able to limit God's forgiveness than retributive justice is, and that the constant abiding story is that no depth can separate us from love - not even the depths of hell.  

Is it true that there are other stories that can demonstrate non-forgiveness in God? Yes.  This is part of the challenge of Christian faith - ambiguity abides and flourishes.  

But if the Cross and Resurrection stand at the center of our faith and the self-revelation of God than the story through which all other Christian rhetoric, story, and truth needs to be viewed is one of a God who descended and emptied God's self of divine separateness, descended to the point of humiliating death on behalf of the world, descended into Hell on behalf of healing and wholeness for all. And then rose again in a testimony of abundant life.  

God invites us to do as God has done for us, not a command of something God was unwilling to model in God's own life, but to share in that overflowing life that is wrapped up in humility, love, forgiveness, healing, and blessing of the brokenness that abounds but is nevertheless not the end of the story.  

And I could be absolutely and completely off track... but I do not believe so - whether I have seen it or not.  Love to you my anonymous friend.
