Jesus just knew that that is the way it would be. Jesus loves everyone. It is evil that God dislikes.
Yet it is the sinner and not the sin that ends in hell, --- so it seems that you have Jesus sending those he says he loved to death, --- while he, if he was the loving God you claim he is, would cure instead of kill. Right?

He came, and showed us the way. He is a righteous God and must punish sin. You would cast your own child, for certain reasons, if he didn't stop. Are you claiming to be more loving than Jesus?
Loving, I cannot guess because Jesus both loved and hated and so do I.
You call Jesus righteous and we Gnostic Christians have tied righteousness to equality and our Universalist ideology. As your God is not a Universalist, Yahweh has a heaven and hell, Gnostic Christians only recognize a heaven, so we would have to define that word.
What is more important to me is the morality that your Jesus showed and that is not good.
All you need do is look at his no divorce policy and his substitutionary punishment policy to see just how immoral those are.
You wrote, "You would cast your own child, for certain reasons, if he didn't stop."
Yes I would, but I would not punish my good son for what my bad son did. Would you punish the good son or the evil one?
Now compare your answer to the immoral substitutionary punishment that your religion forces you to accept.
