How does he display that love while they are in hell?

Why are you asking us? You know many of you non believers just love to find the flaws of God. Keep trying!
You have many flaws that God knows about.. He is waiting for you to see them.
If one goes to hell, tell us why God would love them now? God has given all mankind time enough to come back to Him. It is man's ego that refuses to acknowledge God.
Stop blaming God! Start putting the blame where it rightfully belongs.. on each individual.

The bible says you don't die an eternal hell if he sends someone to hell at the resurrection they get totally burnt up in the fire. No one is in heaven or hell now the dead are in a state of sleep waiting for the resurrection just look at (John 3:13) and
(Malachi 4) malachi 4:3 says Then you will trample down the wicked, they will be ashes under the soles of your feet on the day when I do these things, says the Lord almighty

He loved them enough to not violate their free choice in going there. Now you might understand the depth of God's pain - that yes He still loves them but He can't help them because they did not allow Him to help them. He displays His love by allowing them to make that eternal choice. You see, the choice is ETERNAL and once sealed at death, God will not violate YOUR ETERNAL CHOICE. He cannot change what you choose - that would not be love or justice and it would not be an ETERNAL CHOICE if you could just say - oh I don't like it here, I've changed my mind, then it wouldn't be eternal. This choice is a one shot deal.
(I'm not yelling, I just don't have the ability to underline for emphasis).

He displays His love by giving us free will. In that, there has to be the choice of evil as well as good. He loves us, He told us which path He wanted us to choose, He gave us the free gift of salvation through His Son, He offers us tons of Grace, but in our pride and stubborness, a lot of us have chosen the bad path. He does still love us, but in that love, He has given us the choice. If you choose not to accept all His gifts, then in the end, you get what you wanted, no God.

His love is offered freely to all. He's too compassionate to force Himself on anyone. We are all free to accept Him or reject Him.
You've got one thing turned around. God doesn't cast anyone down to hell. Hell is just a place where God isn't. We go there by our own choice.

John 3:16
for god so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son jesus christ...
thats enough explanation that god loves everyone
any dad/mom will not be willing to see his/her son die for other people (especially bad people) but god did to save everyone (alive that time or still going to be born)
they say that "evil guys die last and good guys die first" i guess its because god still gives them time to repent from their sins and start all over again as good guys this time.. its only up to the person whether he realizes this before his time comes to end.

That love of God is displayed in allowing that individual the eternal destination of their choice. Since their is one alternative to this eternal destiny -faith in Jesus Christ- then we all have the choice to avoid this destiny. If we choose to reject life then we obviously want the only other alternative available. "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord". There is no reason for anyone to spend eternity in the Lake of fire because everyone has a choice to make. "Choose this day whom you will serve; as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord".

In the O.T. God rebuked the children many times for disobedience. Just know that God will be fair, honest, and straightword about what He will do when we die !!!
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

He still loves them but cannot do anything about it. God does not rule hell, and once you go there it is too late. God has been after you your whole life and if you deny Him, then it is your fault. Why should He come after you after you die when you had your life to accept Him?

By not forcing His presence on them for all eternity. People will go to hell for rejecting God's plan of salvation; His son. Do you take the time to read some of the answers on this forum? There are many who hate God and want nothing to do with Him.
