So I've been told many times God loves everyone but does he love even those he sends to Hell for eternity? Also those who are hellbound on Earth if they pray to him does he answer their prayers and help them in this life out of love or just ignore them completely?

There is already a thread out the covering the question. God loves everybody. It's the people who don't love him back. Also the world "eternity" is wrongly translated. In the original it means more something like "an inestimable timespan". A timespan we humans simply can't imagine. But it doesn't really mean "forever" as in "without an end".

God doesn't send anyone to hell, people send theirselves to hell by rejecting Him as God/Lord. God has done everything He can to keep you out of hell, even sacrificed His only begotten Son Jesus Christ. God is the only good one in this whole situation, quit listening to those who try and make Him the meanie. why call anyone Good, there is only one good that's the Father. By our creator's standard we all deserved hell But He gave us Grace and Mercy on Calvary, by shedding the precious Blood, without the shedding of Blood there is no remission. He made a law, for the wages of sin is death, He saw that all would need a redeemer, and He allowed His Son the Be that redeemer, The Way, back to the Father. that all could come to His Love, but the Gift Of God is eternal life Through Jesus Christ. so He loves, we believe, He pardons. to say that God by letting the unrighteous go to a place made for satan and His demons, is not love, is to not believe in the Gospel, for He has provided a way that all might have life. it is not the love of God that sends people to hell , but rather our lack of love toward God, that send us to Hell. see alot of people quote John 3:16 but fail to give the full text of that verse by quoting 17 and 18.

Joh 3:16For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.Joh 3:17For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.Joh 3:18He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

De 30:19I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:

#1 God sends no one to hell. He sent Jesus so we would not have to be sent to hell. We choose hell by rejecting Christ.
#2 Yes God does love those who end up in hell.

Hell is a place (the ONLY place!) separate from God, so if you reject Him, you choose hell, by free will.

Peace be to you
Good posts on this thread sofar ill just add some word;

ezek;
Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one according to his ways, saith the Lord GOD. Repent, and turn yourselves from all your transgressions; so iniquity shall not be your ruin.Cast away from you all your transgressions, whereby ye have transgressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit: for why will ye die, O house of Israel?For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord GOD: wherefore turn yourselves, and live ye.

Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?


God calls us away from evil,give us Today are daily bread,Forgive us are sins
Love a friend in God

God is crying very hard cause he wants no one to go to hell. Lets work harder to try to get them to know God.

Sorry, but contrary to the statements about "God not sending anybody to hell , they send themselves there".. the description of the final judgement in Revelations as well as Jesus's parables ares quite clear that God does send people to hell. Therefore those remarks are unscriptural.

Ok but, if people choose mot to be saved. They are in fact choosing hell. As that is the only alternitive.

Because of their rejection of His love, so all they had to do to stay out of Hell was believe that God loved them
Joh 3:16For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.Joh 3:17For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.Joh 3:18He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
