God's vision of unconditional love : Believe in me then you will end up in my heaven, if not, then you will end up in Satan's hell.
My vision of unconditional love : You can spend heaven with me if you want. If not, then I will create another just as nice heaven for you without me. I know when i am too much, but that's no reason for me to hurt you or even judge you.
How can we educate God a little on this, because He doesn't seem to get what unconditional love means? Unconditional love shouldn't have all sorts of conditions, is that really so hard to understand for an All-knowing Creature ?

Well said. But maybe it's not God. Maybe the problem is Man putting words in his mouth.

Unconditional love means never threatening. There is no such thing as hell. The next life even on the lowest levels are closeness with God. Our actions in this life only determine how close but "hell" is being further than closer as a result of concious action which you are aware of in the next life. Its like your "report card" once you're done in this life and like "man I knew I should have studied for that final in Forgiveness" because you could have done better. Plus God is the creator of your understanding of even the word conditions let alone what it means, he is beyond our understanding and ever beyond our capacity to educate, to any degree whatsoever.

God is the creator of unconditional love, so who are YOU to say that God needs to be educated on unconditional love.
God is perfect and glorious and honorable, and that's what makes heaven heaven.
Because even though we don't deserve it we get to be in the prescence of His glory.
Just because a person goes to hell does NOT mean God does not love them.
God is just and fair, and if you sin you deserve to go to hell.
That is why Jesus died, to take the punishment we DESERVE.
Oh and hell is punishment for Satan, Satan does not rule hell.
God does not want people to go to hell, but they have a choice, free will, and He will not force someone to choose Him.
(If God forced people to love Him, it wouldn't really be love.)

Actually, He does have unconditional love for us. He has created other nice, beautiful Heavens for those of us who do not go to live in His Kingdom with Him. The three Kingdoms of Heaven are:
The Celestial Kingdom (where God's throne is)
The Terrestrial Kingdom
The Telestial Kingdom
Then there's also Perdition.
Where you go depends on your works and your faith and acceptance of God and Jesus.

Well, these are some interesting thoughts, but I'd like to add that the only fabulous thing that heaven has going for it is God. It's just a place (it might be beautiful, and most likely is) but the whole point in heaven is to be with Him.

what about judges here,,do you think they have unconditional love for the ones who commit crimes,,no they have to pass judgement on them,,they did wrong..well, God is like that you have turned from Him so He has to pass judgement on you,,He doesnt want to but because of you being rebellious He has to or He would be a lair...He said in the bible to turn from your evil ways and He will save you..Now If you dont listen He has no other choice..Have you ever ask your father if they liked discipling you?? I would say,they said No they hated it but it was for your own good..God is like that He dont want you to go down the wrong path but you will not listen to Him,,therefore making His hands tied..He does love you dearly but the question is do you love Him...

You don't need to wise God up about this because that's the way God is already.
You need to wise up the religions because they are the ones making up the conditions, not God.
Religion is just a lie about God.

You cant teach God. He is our creator and knows everything. It is not him that cannot grasp unconditional love. It is us. WE cannot grasp that he would give his only son in order to free us from evil. You cannot teach the teacher.

Ignore the miserable old git. After the Somali famine and the Rwandan genocide (and plenty more I've seen) I figured out that if he does exist, I don't want anything to do with him. Let him do his thing, whatever that is.
