But isn't he the one that states we are all God's children and that you hate the actions not the man

Not really. Some are the adopted children of God.
Eph 1:5 MSG (5) Long, long ago he decided to adopt us into his family through Jesus Christ. (What pleasure he took in planning this!)
I think there is enough Biblical proof that God loves His creation but doesn't love everyone with a blanket kind of love. I think it would be myopic to tell an unbeliever "God loves you and will send you to Hell". Those are two opposing ideas. Jam 4:4 Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? Therefore whoever desires to be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.

I thought the God I worshiped loved all his children. As far as sinners are concerned, I think he tells the sinners, "if you do these things and don't repent, you're gonna get in the biggest trouble you can imagine"

Loving somebody and sending them to hell..... I thought that our actions sent us to hell and that he was leading us away from hell. I thought that we send ourselves to hell and that he gives us the opportunity to turn around and beg for his grace that he gave us for free.

I'm not very well versed in the Bible, all I can say is that if you're comfortable telling everybody here who is and isn't going to hell..or who God loves or doesn't love, then go for it.

I'm too worried about my sorry excuse for a Christian, me.
