Your parents still loved you when they put you in time out, it's the same principle.

Nowhere is the Bible does it say that God sends people to hell...except in Revelation where at the very last...he casts those who would be against Him into the lake of fire along with Satan. Even then however, the decision to go to hell is the individuals...as he or she is always given a choice beforehand.
To use an earthly example...Would it be my fault if a drunk driver got a ticket after I told him that he would get a ticket if he drove drunk? It is his choice is it not?

You've got things backwards. All man deserves hell. There is none good no not one. God in his mercy made a way for some to be saved . Jesus said , I will rob the strong mans house(the devil)
All those who seek him, none shall be turned away. Most people do not seek God and many follow false Gods.
Our nature is evil. Without being under the . blood of the Christ , there is no salvation. Jesus said by my stripes you will be healed.
God loves the sinner but hates the sin. all we have to do is ask for forgiveness,confess with our mouth, repent and become a new creature (convert) allowing the Holy spirit to enter us as we hide the word of God in our hearts.
When we realize that Jesus suffered on the cross for us to have eternal life, we love him, because he first loved us.
Jesus said , if you love me , obey my commandments. Find him in the Bible pages and embrace him in your heart. Hell will have no hold on you.

God doesn't send people to hell. We are all condemned to hell b/c of our sin that we are born with. God cannot allow any sin into heaven, but He loved us enough to make a way for us. He did this by sending His son to be the pefect sacrifice. Jesus defeated death on that cross and praise be to Him that a sinner such as I now has a hope of redemption. All we have to do is believe in Him and follow Him. Some people think this is hard, but if He died so that you could live, wouldn't you want to follow Him? His ways are perfect and lead to a joy filled, blessed life. I hope you find this.

God the father is our judge...we must stand before him and make an account for how we've lived our life. We were given free will. Our actions and choices will determine our course. However those who follow the Messiah (Jesus), have him as an intercessor to take up for us on Judgment Day. He mourns for those who are sent to hell...it is not something to look forward to, or rejoice over!! You need to look at the Bible for what it is, and quit listening to the media and extremists (claiming to be Christians), that are condemning people.
It doesn't make sense to you because you've yet to open your eyes!

Love does not always equal approval, or a like for how you are acting. As a parent I love my son no matter what, but if he does wrong I punish him.
Would I send him to hell? No, but then I am not God and can not speak for Him.

I take it that it bothers you to think about people burning in hell. The one thing God wants us to do is love. Love Him and all people. We don't have to like people and the things they do, but we must love them to be close to God. You have a great love in your heart, since you feel this way. But just ask yourself,..... Is my love greater than Gods love? Let me assure you that it isn't. Therefore there is no eternal hell........Psalm 30:5 For His anger is but for a moment, His favor is for life;weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.

You misunderstand the word " Hypocrite" You shouldn't have used that word to help make your point.
God loves everyone, and that's why he is willing to forgive everyone of their sins.
We as Human being cannot obviously say God will send bad people to hell, because we've never seen him do that. So assumption can always go where it tends to go...
If the Lord tells you that he is against homosexuality, then you shouldn't have done something he doesn't like. That's one reason you may disqualify for eternal life.
If the Lord says you must not steal, you shouldn't have done so, for you will hurt our emotional and eternal father above.
Obviously, the Lord does not want people who constantly disgrace him in Heaven.
I would like to tell you that you need to behave yourself and stop disgracing God.

In the minds of the people who believe the whole perfect love/heaven and hell thing, it must be okay for God to be a hypocrite, perhaps because God doesn't have to answer to anyone.
In my mind, loving people and sentencing them to eternal suffering are totally incompatible tendencies. Any attempt to combine them makes no sense to me.
