Jer. 7:31: “They [apostate Judeans] have built the high places of Topheth, which is in the valley of the son of Hinnom, in order to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire, a thing that I had not commanded and that had not come up into my heart.” (If it never came into God’s heart, surely he does not have and use such a thing on a larger scale.)

Illustration: What would you think of a parent who held his child’s hand over a fire to punish the child for wrongdoing? “God is love.” (1 John 4:8) Would he do what no right-minded human parent would do? Certainly not!

In Jeremiah it tells how the pagans were worshipping the devil and throwing their babies alive into the fire to appease him. God was appaled and said they are doing things that never came up into my heart that they would do.
Who knows what all they could have been doing from pedofiles to slave's to torture. But we do know they were wicked because.God told them to go in and destroy every last one of them. Some think that this was so cruel to the children. But John 5:28 says there is to be a resurrection.
Maybe all those children will come back and without the devils influence be raised by God fearing parents in a beautiful new world a paradise. So all we do know is that this worldly wicked system is almost gone and it was for a purpose let go this long. Soon wickedness will be gone.
Those who are wicked will simply be gone, as if they had never been born.

I've thought alot about that, and about god being a Jealous, Vengeful, Hate-filled God-King master.

I've decided that this description is the most evil and wicked tyrant I have ever heard of.

God is all powerful but not depraved and disgusting, I understand that an all powerful being that isn't corrupt may be hard for some to grasp.

God desires that all be saved.
God loves all of his creation and says that it's good.
The evil tyrant king sounds more like a horrible criminal.

Life is good, and its in God's hands, not Satans.

It is ideological authorities who propagate Abrahamic religions to the many of our global culture that concieve of an evil one torturing people in Hell. Based on this lie: that myth is truth, they make threats against the life and or afterlife of anybody who does not submit to their authority and extort tithes and offerings from communities of faithful believers in exchange for lifelong indoctrination in a standard of conduct that these same ideological authorities claim to be representative of the will of a good one in Heaven at war with an evil one cast down to and ruling over Earth.

No. ( i before e, except after c)
At Jeremiah 32: 35, Jehovah condemned the Jews for making their own children pass through the fire (basically a child sacrificed by burning) because even he would not punish his creation by this eternal method.

Jeremiah 32:35 Furthermore, they built the high places of Ba´al that are in the valley of the son of Hin´nom, in order to make their sons and their daughters pass through [the fire] to Mo´lech, a thing that I did not command them, neither did it come up into my heart to do this detestable thing, for the purpose of making Judah sin.

Whereas Jehovah did destroy Sodom and Gomorrah by raining down fire, it seems that to be in harmony with a "God of Love", this destruction must have been instantaneous, not a prolonged suffering of those who had taken a stand against God.

This is like asking a question of will a loving judge sentence someone to prison or to death. We have all broken God's Holy Law. I we break God's Law we deserve God wrath of death and hell. If someone commits murder in your city does he deserve to go to prison?

You talk about a loving God you are right in saying this.

In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. John 4:10

But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.Romans 5:8

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. 17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.
18 “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. John 3:16-18

unlike many people believe (due to Hollywood and it's wonderful spin on things *rolls eyes*) Hell is not a place of little demon devils running around stabbing you with pitchforks where you could be engulfed in flame at any moment...
Hell is much worse than that because it is an eternity without God and His infinite love for you - it is a place where there is no love and as humans we all need love, especially the love of God who created us so perfectly in His image. We go to hell when we decide to go against God's will and not accept His bountiful mercy

hell is the common grave that when we die we go into hell (grave or sheoul) even Jesus when he died went into hell for three days. Jehovah loves us and would never harm us. the devil wants people to think that Jehovah will harm us.

Our spirit has the ability to create another type of spirit, they call a thoughtform. It is not imaginary, but a mass of energy that is made of whatever emotion/energy creates it. The Magnetic center of our World draws these thing to it, and creates other dimensional reaities we call hells. Only those who reject their spirituality, (free will). Or those who are full of fear, anger and violence, like these energies. Stand a good chance of being drawn there.

i don't think anything that's "loving" would create something just to end up torturing it forever... the idea of hell is ridiculous to me.
