Would an omnipotent God need to create a hell?
Main Entry:
1 often capitalized : almighty 1
2 : having virtually unlimited authority or influence <an omnipotent ruler>
A loving God, with unlimited influence, at judgment time, would have no trouble influencing a soul to believe and repent.
That would make the following quote true.
2 Peter 3:9 KJ
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
If God is somehow not able to change the attitude or ideas of the soul, the reason for punishment, then to send it to eternal torture or death would serve no purpose and that would mean that punishment would be immoral and no moral God would ever do so.

For those who believe in everlasting punishment or death for souls, I would ask.
What does an omnipotent God need with a hell?
God would cure all afflicted and never lose what could only be perfect as everything has emanated from a perfect God. If the Christian God exists that is.
Deuteronomy 32:4
He is the Rock, his work is perfect:
