First off, who does Jesus love?

If he loves everyone... why is there a Hell? Does he send people he loves to Hell? That doesn't seem very nice.

"God made his rules to protect us, not to harm us. Hell is only there so that if we don't follow His rules and obey him, we will be disciplined. "
I dunno. Fiery doom seems a little harsh for breaking a rule. I mean, my mom never threw me in a fiery underworld for not cleaning my room. In fact, I think that would be considered illegal, wouldn't it?

God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son.
John 3:16
1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
1:2 He was in the beginning with God.
1:3 All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. (John 1:1-3)
The above texts show that Jesus, the Word, Who is God, loved the world, which means the whole people in the world, without exception.
He died for all , but not all believe Him and accept Him as their personal Saviour. But the answer to the question "Who does Jesus love?" is: He loves everybody in the whole world!
He died for everybody. Everybody is entitled to go to heaven.
But because of His love, He is going to let only those who are willing to obey His rule, to enter heaven. Otherwise heaven will not be heaven. Those who have the tendency to disobey Him, will mess it again, while they won't be happy to live in heaven anyway. So for those who do not want to obey the rules, they will be returned to their origin: dust. But not eternal torment in everlasting, undending fire. They will be consumed, melted, destroyed, and recycled to the elements of nature.
Heaven will only be heaven if you like the way of life there.
In His love and mercy, He will not force you to live miserably forever in an atmosphere you don't like in the first place.

God loves everyone. He created hell because man did not obey to his words in Eden garden. He gave man his image, his divinity, his power and everything. But man disobeyed the words of God. And God also created something called conscience to decide on things. He told "this is right and this is wrong" He also gave an option of going to heaven if you do not sin. Even if you sin, you can go to heaven. Jesus is the way. Accept Jesus as your savior and ask him to forgive your sins and you will go to heaven. See, God has done this because he loves you and everyone. Otherwise God have created only hell and no heaven because man disobeyed him. So, when Jesus is going to become your Savior?

Jesus should love everyone.
Only kids hate someone when they're not accepted and what not.
If Jesus has a big heart, he will love anyone and care for everyone no matter what.
Emotions like anger only comes from hate.
If he's angry for not believing him than he's a hater.
Even God.
I believe they are not. Christians are making conjectures about what God or Jesus thinks. Ultimately, making them look bad.

Death is inevitable. The thief on the cross knew when his would occur, but we can not predict our own. After his death, the crucified criminal went to live in paradise with Jesus. Some of us will also live eternally in God's presence. But others will experience everlasting torment, forever separated from Him.
If we receive Jesus as our Savior, our penalty for sin is paid. We are adopted into God's family, and Heaven is our eternal home. If we reject Jesus, we remain alienated from the Lord and under condemnation for our sin. We are destined to experience eternal judgment. God won't accept any of man's excuses because there is no acceptable defense for unbelief. (Acts 4:12)
Become part of God's family today. Acknowledge your sinfulness, and express your faith in these words:
"God, I have sinned against You. (Romans 3:23) I've followed my own way and refused to give You the right to rule in my life. (Romans 3:10-12) I recognize I am separated from You and cannot rescue myself. I do believe that Jesus Christ is Your Son. I accept the truth of the Scriptures? that His death on the cross paid my sin-debt in full. (1 Corinthians 15:3-4) And I ask You to forgive me of my sins. (1 John 1:9) By faith, I receive You, Lord Jesus, as my personal Savior from this moment on."
If you just spoke those words to God, then, like the thief on the cross, you have received salvation? a gift of God's grace. The heavenly Father welcomes every person who comes to Him through His Son, regardless of background, age, or current situation. Through Jesus, the right to enter paradise is yours!

He doesn't send people to Hell, people's actions and denial of God sends them to Hell. God loves us, like good, caring parents would. If there wasn't Hell, there would not be a reason to listen to Him, just like if there were no punishment for not listening to our parents, we would not listen to them.
God made his rules to protect us, not to harm us. Hell is only there so that if we don't follow His rules and obey him, we will be disciplined.

Jesus' Love for mankind is so great that He willingly took all of the sins of mankind; past, present, and future, into Himself of The Cross. This paid the sin debt of all... the majority of mankind has rejected this psyment and has rejected God... yet, god still loves mankind enough that He keep open The Way to Him. The sin debt is still concidered paid for all... for all who will accept the Sacrifice of Jesus in payment of their debt. And who will com to God in The Way He prescribes.... The Way to God remains open because He loves you... If you will come to Him as He prescribes, before your last conciouse mortal breath, then you will have a place with Him in Heaven for all of eternity... for those who continue to reject God and Jesus' Sacrifice untill their last conciouse mortal breath... God will reject those....and they will be eternaly seperated from God...

JESUS loves everyone!Hell is made originally for the fallen angels(evils).JESUS loves us so much that's why HE paid our sins so we may not taste death or go to hell anymore but have eternal life just by believing in HIM!Believe in HIM and accept HIM as your personal LORD and SAVIOR and you yourself will testify that JESUS loves you and you will have assurance of salvation!

He loves everyone!!!!!!! We are all sinners but by his grace he loves us. He hates sin.
And I'm really getting tired of seeing answers like "there is no God" or whatever!
If you don't believe in Jesus, then DON'T ANSWER THE QUESTION??? Why do you have to be so immature?

I have a question for you so you can better understand God's judgment, for He is JUST! A Just and Good God would not let a sinner go unpunished just like in our justice system we do not let criminals go unpunished, right?
Sin separates man from God- and God could send all of us to hell, we all deserve it! We have all sinned against Him, who created us- and yet He made a way through Jesus Christ, who was sacrificed for the sins of those who believe and repent of sin- they are washed clean and given eternal life- See John 3:15-16
Also Jesus says:
John 3:36
Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God's wrath remains on him."
-If you were to stand before a judge in a court and you had committed a crime, and you could not pay your fine but you asked the judge to just forgive you, would he? NO! You would have to be sentenced to jail. But what if someone came in and walked up to the judge and said "I will pay his fine, because I love him, please set him free, and I will take his punishment" ---how would you feel towards that person?
That is what Jesus did! When you believe in Him, and confess your sin, repent and put your trust in Him, you are forgiven, set free and you are given eternal life in Him- Heaven. Those who refuse to believe and continue in their sin, will get hell- that is how it is, and it is God's justice. Who are we to question God's justice? For we all deserve hell! You should be shouting for JOY that He sent Jesus! Out of His grace and will, he saves us- see Ephesians 2:8
I am so thankful to my Lord and Saviour! And that is why I tell others about this free gift of salvation through Jesus Christ, because I wish hell upon no one---but there is punishment for sin-why should God let us into His kingdom? It is pure and holy, we are not- but through the redemption of Jesus Christ's blood, we are given clean hearts...and when we sin, we are convicted, and want to not sin, we desire to follow Jesus, because He is our Savior and Lord and the fruits of salvation is JOY, and PEACE that is inexpressible- complete Joy comes from Jesus Christ~
