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.

God loves HIS children. The question is whether we are all His children. Our actions do not send us to Hell. Lord, we would all go there. The Bible says we are either in the Lamb’s Book of Life or we are not.

I have no idea who is going to Hell. But we know that some people are going there.

I would say that we become children of God when we enter into relationship with Him. The issue being that the unbeliever needs to know that he is separated from God and that only God can restore that relationship.

Loving somebody and sending them to hell.....

Paradise 1.0 turned out to be incompatible with human nature. I doubt that any paradise that did not have to be earned in some measure could be any better. In the parable of the Prodigal Son, Jesus explains that salvation will be available to those who can truly repent of their sins and ask forgiveness, but that's not necessarily as easy as it sounds.
