Simply take a moment to think about the following statement:
"Hello, my name is Jesus. I love you deeply. I have loved you since you were conceived in the womb and I will love you for all eternity. I died for you on the cross because I love you so much. I long to have a loving personal relationship with you. I will answer all of your prayers through my love. But if you do not get down on your knees and worship me, and if you do not EAT MY BODY and DRINK MY BLOOD, then I WILL INCINERATE YOU WITH UNIMAGINABLY TORTUOUS PAIN IN THE FIRES OF HELL FOR ALL ETERNITY BWAH HA HA HA HA HA!"
Yes, this is the central message of Christianity. See John 6:53-54 and Mark 16:16.
Think about this message. We have a being who, according to the Standard Model of God, embodies love. Yet, if you do not get down on your knees and worship him, you will be physically tortured for all eternity. What sort of love is that?
The utter silliness and contradiction of Jesus' core message should make it obvious to you: God is imaginary.

wrong!!!, God loving nature doesn't whom or how you got to this conclusion?, since, HIM(God), send his only begotten Son Jesus, once the perfect most baby ever, born from a Virgin Mother,(Miracle of Birth)? to save you, and me, and others?, Although, there is no harm been done, because burning in hell for Eternity is really nothing considering that none in hell will be able to know a/o remember what time it's all about?, despite of that, sincerely let me ask, is this question because you are in need of attention, a/o because you don't know that much about God sacrifices for Humanity, human-kind, the world and Universe. I'm Concern believed me, and I can help, not cost and not hidden agendas? Attn ; Word's

Let me ask you a question: Do you honestly believe that all those tyrants who killed millions will never be held responsible for their crimes? Do you honestly believe that child abusers and drug dealers and those who oppress the poor, and all the others who bring misery and death to our world, will never be held responsible for their crimes? I hope not.
And would it shock you to discover that no one in the Bible spoke more about judgment and Hell than Jesus? I suspect it would—and yet it's true. He warned that someday God will say to all those who have ignored His laws, "Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels" (Matthew 25:41). God is holy and just, and someday all the evils and injustices of this world will be judged.
But this isn't the whole story! God also is kind and merciful and loving (as you say), and He yearns for us to know Him and be with Him in heaven forever. That is why He sent His only Son into the world. Jesus Christ came for one reason: to save us from our sins. He did this by taking upon Himself the judgment and punishment we deserve.
The Bible says, "God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8). Don't turn your back on Christ, but by faith open your heart to Him and trust Him alone for your salvation.

It doesn't sound very loving, because it isn't true. There is no Hell. It is just another man-made story mostly because of ignorance. Ok, what if the Bible says there is or whatever? Most of the people are aware that the book is not infallible and that it was written by humans.

"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son to die; so that whoever believes in Him WILL NOT perish but have everlasting life."
Yes, God loves all people; but at the same time He is a Heavenly Father who disciplines His children when they do not obey His rules.
He does not send anyone to Hell, who does not want to be there.
We all know His rules and laws, if we disobey; than we deserve to suffer the consequences and be disciplined for that disobedience!
Did your father or mother ever punish you, when you broke their rules or did not obey them? I guess when they punished you, that means they do not love you.
Stop putting God in a 'box', He is outside of our scope of knowledge and intellect.

I take it that the word "love" to you means being a doormat?
If someone molests or harms a child that you love, would it be very "loving" of you to let the guilty person go unpunished? Would the victim think that you "loved" them if you let the criminal who harmed them go free?
We all think that we are innocent, but the people who know us might not agree. Even Al Capone and Adolph Hitler claimed that they were great people, because they simply gave the public what they thought that it wanted.

Its Called justice !!
A person who worship Him throughout his life and do whatever God likes And aviod things which God doesn't like should be treated differently from the person who spend all his life in disobeying God and do everything which is forbidden !!
God does love everyone but He loves Justice as well !!

God doesn't send anyone to Hell,We all send ourselves there if we choose to continue to defy God and rebel against his will.
Besides,why would God want someone or a bunch of people up in Heaven who will defy and rebel against him?
I don't believe that God wants another Lucifer episode going on in his Kingdom.

God doesn't want us to burn forever. that is why you have the choice to worship him and accept his son Jesus Christ as your Savior. then you will be safe and enter into heaven. God wants you in Heaven, your the one who has to buy your your ticket there.

The Lord isn't really being slow about his promise to return, as some people think. No, he is being patient for your sake. He does not want anyone to perish, so he is giving more time for everyone to repent.
2Peter 3:9 (NLT)

He doesn't want you to go to Hell!
He has done everything possible to keep you OUT of HELL....even sending His own Son....to pay for your sins.!
If you go it is because YOU CHOOSE HELL.....
Read the Scripture Pal...and learn something...
" God is not willing that any man perish, but that all come to repentance".
