It seems to me from the creation itself, and from the sacrifices made so far, that a reasonable person would have some cause to believe the love is virtually unconditional, although I am acutely aware that it's not the typical view of organised Christianity.
God never destroyed hell..He created it...And its a place where those who reject God go. Its what the bible says, the bible is God's word. God loves everyone, but he hates sin, and if you are unwilling to give up your sin and accept Christ, he cannot allow you into heaven. Heaven is perfect, a place sin has never touched...Thats all clearly stated in the bible...Its not just my "belief" Its what the bible says, read it for yourself...its what is says....
