I wouldn't say that! God always has hope for those people who don't believe!

God's love is not unconditional, it is principled.
Either we opt to live within those principles, or without them.

The choice of life or death is ours to make. Choosing the path of the True God has No disadvantages, but many think it does, because of all the lies that have been told as though from the Bible. However, lies do not change facts, & the fact remains that we each have a serious decision to make regarding our futures.
As to hell ... All it is, is the cessation or absence of life.
One of the many LIEs concocted against God, is that he tortures the dead. However, the dead "are concious of nothing at all"!
What Really Is Hell?
- Life After Death?
- Unending Torment or Common Grave?
- Hellfire--All-Consuming?

Hell is not a place just a separation from God (the hell in the bible is a metaphor for the pain the soul feels in disharmony and separation from God) , so an unbeliever who wants to be separated from GOd would want to be there..

God loves everyone that's why he gave you freedom of choice, you decide if you are going to heaven or hell.He left 10 easy steps to follow just 10 and most people can't do that, however he left you an out to repent your sins in the name of Jesus and still go to Heaven. Doesn't sound like to much to ask, but then all Adam and Eve had to do is not eat from the forbidden fruit.

"I willingly believe that the damned are, in one sense, successful, rebels to the end; that the doors of hell are locked on the inside.
All that are in Hell, choose it. Without that self-choice there could be no Hell. No soul that seriously and constantly desires joy will ever miss it. Those who seek find. To those who knock it is opened. And yourself, in a dark hour, may will [a grumbling] mood, embrace it. Ye can repent and come out of it again. But there may come a day when you can do that no longer. Then there will be no you left to criticize the mood..."

God won't throw unbelievers in Hell. God has told you that you are dying and on your way to hell. BUT, He has provided a way out through the death of His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ. If you accept His, free gift, you will not go to hell. If you refuse His gift, you are condemning yourself to hell.

Because God finally gives these people what they want; he finally stops interfering in their lives by trying to make them happy, and just leaves them alone.
People who don't like God or his commands wouldn't be very happy in Heaven either. The people who don't like God have to have somewhere to go to separate them from the people who want to become pure so that they don't corrupt or otherwise ruin Heaven.
Why is Hell so bad? Because God refused to interfere in Hell by sending any type of comfort or beauty. God refused to interfere or intervene.

Because God loves unbelievers He offers them a lifetime of opportunity to accept Him and love Him back. If they obstinately choose to reject God and shut Him out of their lives in spite of His continuous reaching out to them, then what choice does God have other than to provide a place for them where they can continue to live as they have chosen to live, in total separation from Him? Would it be loving of God to force such people, who reject and hate Him, to spend eternity in the intimate presence of the very One they have chosen to hate and reject??

It is an attention getter to make the ignorant aware that He means business and will give them a little time to be purified with pain in order to open their eyes.

You have a choice to make. It's yours and only yours. Only after you make the choice to reject Him and not to accept Him do you end up going to Hell when your life on earth ends. Choose life. He does love you!
