God's communication to us in the scriptures is for men and women who want genuine answers and to live virtuously. When this is the case, a person will accept personal responsibility for the outcome of his life. He will put forth an effort to gain sufficient knowledge to decide to his satisfaction what knowledge is reliable and what he will reject.

Regarding the faulty belief in "eternal hell:" by leaving obscure passages on the shelf and checking many clear verses on the subject, a genuine searcher can gain an accurate understanding and the peace and fulfillment that comes with finding answers of truth. The book of Acts records the Christian efforts of believers of the first century in great detail and is a source of many clear scriptures. Even a cursory reading or digital search of Acts reveals that Paul and other trusted believers never mentioned "going to hell and experiencing eternal suffering and torment" in their many adventures in reaching people with God's Word (although those words were in their vocabulary). Upon realizing this truth, we change our beliefs accordingly because we have allowed God's Word to speak for itself.
In our desire to read clear Bible passages, we look to Acts and see that Paul did mention various outcomes for those who did not believe. As an example:
Acts 13:46 “Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first have been spoken to you: but seeing ye put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles.”
Many clear verses reveal that those who refuse to believe will miss out on everlasting life. This knowledge is reliable and confirmed by God's Word and is what we can tell others as we reach out to our fellow man.
