I think Jesus was loving and as the son of God doesn't support it.

God's fire is a refining fire, and cleanses away all pollutants.
Satan has a counterfeit for everything of God's. His fire
torments and is right here in the world today! The best way
to tell, if it is of Satan or of God, is by asking yourself if it meets all of the attributes of the "wisdom that is from above"
which are found in James 3:17-18. If it is PURE,
PEACEABLE, GENTLE, EASILY INTREATED, FULL OF
MERCY & GOOD FRUITS, WITHOUT PARTIALITY &
HYPOCRISY, then it is of God. Being tormented in flame
for eternity doesn't meet any of these attributes, but rather
is a very good description of Satan's character.
Luke 9:54-55, "...LORD, wilt thou that we command FIRE
to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as
Elias did? But he turned, and REBUKED THEM, and said,
YE KNOW NOT WHAT MANNER OF SPIRIT YE ARE OF.
For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but
to save them".
Jesus is the body (visible image) of the invisible Spirit of
God, and as God, this doesn't describe His character.

God is not like that. He is not saddistic. He is not a tyrant. John 3:16 says, "For God so LOVED the world that He gave His only son that whoever believes in Him WILL NOT PERISH (go to hell), but have everlasting life.(Go to Heaven)"
He loves every single person and He gives them the choice to be with Him in Heaven, or they can go to hell. It may sound harsh, but He gives you a CHOICE. Jesus is loving, you're right about that. Now here's where I get a little confused with your wording. From what I gather, you're saying that Jesus doesn't agree with God's ways. Well, it's pretty confusing, but Jesus is the Son of God, and He is God. So he can't really disagree with Himself. That's the whole reason He came down to earth as a man and died on the cross. He showed everyone His love so that everyone would be able to go to Heaven and they would know His love.
People don't have to go to hell. That's their choice. All they have to do is let God take away their sins and they don't have to go to hell. It's just like you can choose to obey the laws of our land, or you can choose to break the laws and suffer the consequences by going to jail or even be put to death.
I hope I've answered your question.

No. Hell was created for Satan and the demons. Man sends hisown self there . God is loving and not willing that any should perish and that is why He sent His only begotten Son to pay our sin penalty so that we don't have to go to hell. If you reject His gift, it's your fault, not His. God is not saddistic. He's loving.
Nothing in nature ceases to exist it only changes form. We have been created to be eternal beings.Jesus Christ died and rose again and He said in ( Revelation 1:18- John 6:57 - John 14:2)"I am He that liveth, and was dead: and behold I am alive forevermore...Because I live ye shall live also...I go to prepare a place for you" (heaven)
Revelation 20:15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. In Ezekiel 33:11 God says" I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked"Joseph stiles once said" Fix your eyes upon the very vilest sinner upon earth. Through death, this instant pass him up to heaven-with all his lust, and lies, and hate,and devilish heart-can he be happy there?Our immoral nature requires a place called hell. The effects of our sins are everlasting and so is the punishment for them.There is life after death and the question is, where will you spend yours?

The bible at jeremiah 35:32 teaches that God feels that burning people is a detestable thing in his eyes. Would you punish your child for a whole year if he broke a glass a year ago? The biblle says God is love 1 john 4:8 So a God of love wouldnt punish someone forever Hellfire is not a BIBLE teaching

Does God permitting human beings to be blessed for eternity in Heaven or in the international for that actuality make God vulnerable? Why do you think in divine and eternal advantages and reject divine and eternal accounting? If God is so effectual might he no longer have the potential to end the injustice of in the international ? yet he looks on as human beings go through, yet facilitates the main vile criminal to pass to heaven via fact he/she repented on the final 2d. God makes devil appear as if the solid guy. What if that Vile criminal got here to Be a Jehovah's witness on the very final minute? He may be delivered to paradise as your faith Teaches. God makes devil appear as if the solid guy. Your good judgment is vulnerable and hypocritical, kiddo, and can be fairly became decrease back at you

I don't think it means being sadistically tortured over & over.
I think of it this way:
think of an old fashioned trash incinerator, the fire is always burning, you throw in your trash and it gets burned up. Gone forever. The fire keeps burning, but the trash is gone in a second. No coming back. that's how I see hell, the fire is burning constantly but the trash (sinners) are burned up quickly and gone. Permanently. It's the punishMENT that is "forever" not the punishING.

It would seem to be an unreasonable punishment for zero time as a sinner. In other word as time approaches infinity or eternity, the time we live approaches 0% or nothing.
