Isn't God of the Bible a hypocrite?

He expects us to forgive those who have harmed us but He will burn the people in hell who just don't believe in Him? That's ridiculous and shows how wicked He is.
I don’t believe all who do not believe will burn. The overwhelming great majority simply die and get buried and are never heard from again.
If someone in covenant with God asks for forgiveness of a sin, He is faithful to forgive. If someone sins against another, he ought also be faithful to forgive.
We are indeed to forgive those that hurt us, but where are we told to forgive those who hate and hurt others ?
I can't forgive the Russians attacking Ukraine.
I can't forgive those who steal the children of SE Asia.
God judges righteously !
We need to forgive because we don't know who at the end is a brother in Heaven. Vengeance however belongs to God as God knows who is who.
the bible clearly teaches that God is our creator and that he has established rules/laws that govern how we relate to him and to others.

Those laws spell out very simple that there is a penalty for noncompliance and a blessing for compliance.
That the ignorant pay no attention to these rules etc is not God's fault, so how this poster blames God for the consequence of hating God shows how little he understands the Bible.

Everyone love John3:16, but deliberately ignore verse 18 which spells out that those who do not believe in Jesus are already condemned.
He sends nobody to hell, hell is prepared for Satan and his angels, spiritual beings, not us. Anybody who ends up in hell goes there VOLUNTARILY because they worship Satan and his angels as their own god.
Do you believe Jesus is a liar? Do you believe the message He proclaimed was not His own but from the one who sent Him?
Here is God's love for all who will accept it, but not everyone will turn back to Him, thus paying the consequences for their actions. It's not that God hates everyone, but that He would that none should perish

John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
John 3:17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
John 3:18 He 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.
John 3:19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
John 3:20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
John 3:21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.


2Pe 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
2Pe 3:10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
2Pe 3:11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
2Pe 3:12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
2Pe 3:13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
Which is exactly why you don't call God a Loving God but a Merciful God.

Be advised all, this is a rehash of other threads which were almost exactly the same and written by the same author. It's a broken record at this point, so this thread will be locked down, as will similar threads if they are posted in the future. This is a Christian site, and we do not allow incessant denigration of the Most High God.

Blessings in Christ, and thanks to all who gave positive responses.
