There is a long-standing tradition in the Christian faith - and especially in the early Greek church - that all human souls may eventually be reconciled with God (this is called apokatastasis). According to this theory, hell is not eternal, and God's mercy will in the end prevail over even God's judgement. I am aware that various forms of this doctrine emerged in the Middle Ages as well, although the main current of Augustinian theology tended to be against it. Today, it tends - rather dismissively - to be dubbed "Universalism".
Looking at the various enthusiasts for Hell on this site (and some of you are just disturbing), I am reminded that we can only speculate about the world to come, and even that on the basis of pretty flimsy scriptural evidence. But I'll stick my neck out and ask: can we legitimately hope that all souls will be welcomed into the presence of God? And if not, why not?

I would say yes everyone will be saved one day and there are tons of verses in the Bible that says so. This website goes into all the details: http://www.tentmaker.org/articles/Hell_is_Leaving_the_Bible_Forever.html

The soul exist along with the Supersoul, God, and is His part and parcel, like your finger is part of your hand. The Supersoul is eternal as much the soul, and his final destination is to live in association with God. For some souls, of most of the soul, will take millions of life time to go back to God, and for some may take just this life time. There is evolution of the soul, from lower species of life till human form of life. In this form we have opportunity to go home in the kingdom of God. That is last destination of the soul in his long journey in this material worle by transmigrating from different species of life.

I can only tell you what the Bible says about it. God said that He would have it "that none should perish" but it's on a voluntary basis. Either you deny the world and stick by Him or the other way around. Throughout the Bible it is repeated that that those who deny Him or His son will hear on judgment day, "Depart from me. I knew you not." It's not what He wants. It's what you choose.

If you want to know the answers to your questions truly. I would recomend checking out www.lds.org
Things of God are learn line upon line and precept upon precept.
We can learn the truth to what ever God will grant us by faith, pray, scripture study and obediance and promptings of his spirit or the holy spirit.
I testify that there is one true church that holds the holy melchezidic priesthood and God revelates to a modern day prophet. It is our duty to find God and learn of him.
In the name of christ amen

2 Thessalonians 1:6-9 shows that there will be everlasting destruction for those who do not know and those who do not obey the good news about Jesus. So, no, some people will be destroyed.

Why not? It is not scriptural. period
Oh if it were true, you could curse God, commit murder, rape, mayhem, thievery and so on, and still know you will go to Heaven. What the heck kind of theology would that be, one of a madman?
