Since He will bypass His love for a creature and throw the creature in hell for hurting others?

No. It does seem like there is a high level of punishment involved though. As an atheist, I don't believe in any of it, but since I'm not ruled by the threat of eternal damnation I can see much more clearly as I'm allowed to process what I see and form my own thoughts.
Now, when did hell get changed to the grave? Is that a recent modification?

Hehehe-Sounds like you've been reading the Old Testament...
To StormDevil: I usually don't agree with Fireball...and I'm sure I don't completely now either, but the word 'Hell' in ancient Aramaic was 'Sheol'. Actually, the OT should read 'the grave' but when the NT people wrote their books, instead of just dying and going to 'Sheol' (also Hades), they decided to turn it into a place of torment, a lake of fire...I was taught eternal but since I don't know the exact verse, I won't swear to it. But, in the OT, the ultimate punishment was to die b/c you ceased to exist-could do nothing...Some even now can't accept the possibility of not having an eternal soul.

God is love, what's guy to renowned what divine is. in spite of the reality that many writers conflict to perfect the thank you to outline love and justice, the question has been responded by Christ Jesus and the be attentive to God.

God is holy, and we ALL deserve justice, however mercy and grace gives us what we do not deserve. His love is His greatest attribute why? Because as a Holy God , He could have just sent us all to hell, where we deserve to be- it is our choice if we choose "the greatest gift of all"-life through the shed blood of Christ- or we choose the punishment that we deserve. Your choice!!

the question usualy asked is
would you be let to janna"paradise" as a result of your deeds ?or would it be gods mercy
of course the answer is god will let you in out of his mercy
the mercy is the love of god for you
the deeds are the justice
this is the positive way to look at justice
but suppose that you doing harm to this and that,nasty to your community and your own pple,but you keep al 3ibadat,sawm,salah....
so i m sure you must be very carfull then
because you will wait all " at yawm eddin "you harmed them to take of your marks all what you harmed them
so at the end "la sama7 allah"one would end empty handed or in minus

our understanding of god is arbitary. like this example-- MAN: pastor my house got burnt..PASTOR: that is gods justice . you must have done something bad and thats is gods justice...MAN: but pastor the fire spread and burnt your house too...PASTOR: (stunned) god has his subtle ways.. now tell me each of us specially the ones in power use these words to exert power and make the other person feel miserable by interpreting normal events as gods love or justice. There is no such thing

i think His love will confirm His justice when He bestows mercy upon the worst of sinners.. for He alone knows what is in people's hearts..
the one cannot exist without the other.. as with all other things, they must exist in balance..
and He knows best..

I don't think anyone can honestly answer a question about God's character and how it is manifest in judgement...
As a human the only thing I can say is that God is love, and God is ultimately just.
And it amazes me how we all want to blame God for the consequences of our own choices.

God's love for his creation is what demands his justice. The cancer has to be cut out.
