One who has sinned on earth consistently and deliberately can return to God, and to goodness, but through a course of training and discipline that is more terrible than any hell fire you have ever conceived of.
The burning of flames was a purely material interpretation, suited to the development of man at the time that the teaching was put into words―to a spirit-life, the burning of remorse is unutterably greater and more terrible than any suffering of the body such as being burned.
