Sounds like He is is willing to accept(demand ) love given "freely", but not give unconditional love.Here's where you're wrong. He loves those who are sent to Hell. He loves them very much. He hates their sin, and that's why they go to hell: because they won't let go of their sin. It's their choice. Ever heard of "tough love"? "He that spares the rod spoils his son". Just because you punish your child does not mean that you don't love him or her. In fact, a parent that doesn't punish their child when they do wrong does not love their child. A parent that would allow their child to get into trouble is not a parent at all.

YOU-Here's where you're wrong. He loves those who are sent to Hell. He loves them very much. He hates their sin, and that's why they go to hell: because they won't let go of their sin.
Is there a backdoor to hell that I haven't heard of ?
Do you set up a situation where your loved ones can be forever tortured for their trangressions against you?
Where the overwhelming majority of your so-called "children" will spend an eye-blink alive and then an infinate time screaming in agony?
Is God allowing us to be decieved into thinking that hell is forever?
Are we to be condemned for NOT following His lead if we do not banish our children forever, and instead always allow them the oppertunity to restore the relationship ?
Before you or I were born He knew if we were going to be sent to hell with His knowledge and consent - Why bother ?
No matter how much "free will" you think you have, your seat is already reserved for you and there is no action that you can take that can change your ticket.
