there is only one fate for sin, sinfulness and sinners - their destruction.
Sinners are destroyed by HIS wrath OR by HIS grace in changing them from sinners to holy ones by their redemption and sanctification.
Those who can be changed by redemption and sanctification will be; by HIM putting off the judgement day until they are holy, Matt 13:27-30. They are / were never condemned nor under HIS wrath because they had already put their faith in HIM as their LORD and Saviour before they chose to sin: Jn 3:18...
Those who are under HIS wrath for sinning the unforgivable sin of rebuking HIM as a liar and a false GOD thus becoming eternally subject to HIS wrath and condemnation will be destroyed in hell, as condemned already, Jn 3:18.
Thus after the great and terrible judgement day, there will be no more evil, sin nor evil people nor sinners left in HIS heavenly realms, all will have been destroyed one way or another.

Sinners are not destroyed by grace, whoever believes would not perish.
Scripture says we were all a child of wrath by nature.
But God held the blame against us, not Jesus, and Jesus took the bullet.

And Jesus took it.

Exactly.
It sure does - which means that when we chose to be sinners our nature changed to become enslaved to sin so if nature was all we had to go by, then we were subject to wrath
BUT
other verses say that even so, we were never condemned, ie, never under HIS wrath but rather under HIS grace and mercy, HIS promise of our salvation called election.
Sure, we had earned HIS wrath if not elect but as elect we were never under or liable to HIS wrath...
So you don't believe in substitution. Also, Jesus did this in spite of all the pain and suffering he faced from the moment He was arrested until He was on the cross. I didn't say God was angry at Him. What was held against us, which is death for sin and all that comes with that, was instead held against Christ. That is, He bore our sin as the innocent Lamb of God, was crushed by God (As Isaiah 53 says), and willingly (totally willingly) bore it, and could still pray what He prayed. If you cannot figure out why He would, you need to do more soul searching. Think about what Paul wrote to the church about their pride. He said that they should be humble as Christ was humble and humbled Himself in coming to Earth in the first place, to be spited by men, and crucified on a cross for what is basically no reason, outside of God's plan of redemption.
I never said God was angry at Him. Not once. The Bible doesn't say that God hates a person directly, but for what they do does He hate them. Since Jesus didn't do anything evil or wicked, then God didn't hate Him. However, He hates sin. Jesus bore our sin, and as far as the sin is concerned, Jesus faced God's wrath. Again, not at Jesus but at the sin. Read Isaiah 53 again. It says that the Jews look at Christ and see a man stricken by God, punished by God. God, through Isaiah in a "Thus says the Lord" is clear that that is not the case, for it is all about Christ's sacrifice for us. It wasn't punishment. And Jesus faced this all willingly. The faithful servant for a time. Consider Moses at Horeb. The first time He struck the rock symbolized Jesus coming as a servant, the second time when God told Moses to speak to the rock, that is Jesus as King. You don't strike a King, you speak to them. Moses symbolically struck God's Son as king, and God punished him by not allowing him entrance to the promised land. God did a lot that were symbolic prophecies of Jesus and the future. So if you wonder why God got so angry when Moses struck the rock that second time, to the point that his punishment was so great, it was because of this.

This photo describes the truth regarding this issue.
The Gospel is not God hatefully saying:
" Turn to Me or I will send you to Hell."
The gospel is God's Mercy and Grace saying:
"You're already on your way to Hell, turn to Me,
and I will save you."

Mar 9:42-48 WEB 42 “Whoever will cause one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for him if he were thrown into the sea with a millstone hung around his neck. 43 If your hand causes you to stumble, cut it off.

It is better for you to enter into life lame, rather than having your two feet to be cast into Gehenna, into the fire that will never be quenched— 46 ‘where their worm doesn’t die, and the fire is not quenched.’ 47 If your eye causes you to stumble, throw it out. It is better for you to enter into God’s Kingdom with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into the Gehenna of fire, 48 ‘where their worm doesn’t die, and the fire is not quenched.’

Rev 20:11-15 WEB 11 I saw a great white throne and him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. There was found no place for them. 12 I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and they opened books. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged out of the things which were written in the books, according to their works. 13 The sea gave up the dead who were in it. Death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them. They were judged, each one according to his works. 14 Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire. 15 If anyone was not found written in the book of life, he was cast into the lake of fire.
