I've seen responses to my questions that say God/Jesus are all about unconditional love but then the responder unwittingly throws in a condition like 'you must return that love' or 'you must praise god or be aware of his gift' and how hell can exist with Unconditional Love (!!!). We’re talking about the term, UNCONDITIONAL LOVE, which means NO CONDITIONS. If we had a simple reading comprehension test with a paragraph that talked about God’s Unconditional Love but how he also needs to be believed, obeyed, and/or have his love returned to him, the answer about whether this represents Unconditional Love would be unambiguous. Why, then, isn’t this clear to others?

LOL. ive come to the conclusion a majority of christians dont read their bible enough. ive asked a few questions in the past days, none of them answered by scripture, infact most of the christians that answered either condemned me to hell or called me some name. but you are right, they proclaim unconditional love and then put conditions on it. its contradictory, just like the rest of their belief.

God's love is unconditional...if anyone tells you different they err...if they tell you that salvation has a condition that is a different issue as to obtain salvation one has to accept the atonement of
Christ.

djmantx has it right, love and salvation are two different things. Most parents love their kids unconditionally, but will still ground them if they do something wrong because they're two different things.
