I’m better than Jesus.

You just won’t learn that much by reading the book. Try Doctrine and Covenants, the Book of Abraham, or this passage I read from today that is in Histories of the Church, Volume 6, 408-409.

Any insight? 2. 21:45 {Did Jesus’ Deity Die?} Did Jesus' deity die on the cross, and if not, then how could He be an atoning sacrifice for sin? If it died, then how could He b...

It's HARD to think of my loved ones in hell.

This is hard for me, too. I don't offer my answer with a calloused heart or without considering how difficult it really is. But, I hope that in my own limited attempt to offer help, you will find some wisdom and hopefulness. My answer will probably fall short, but I am really just saying "wait" because the full revelation of the glory and goodness of God will answer this for you in due time.
