I think that you are highlighting a real problem with scripture - the apparently limitless ways in which it can be interpreted. A reason for the existence of literally thousands of denominations and cults.
William Barclay has one of the more optimistic takes on bible based theology that I'm aware of, but his views are (as far as I'm aware) far from popular. I suspect that a major reason that Barclay's views haven't achieved much traction is that they remove much of the fear of eternal damnation or eternal death.
Having said that I'm sure there are still enough threats left in Barclay's interpretation to worry many a believer even with the trump card of fear of eternal damnation or eternal death removed.
