Dan,
Unconditional love means that someone loves you regardless of everything. Regardless of any sin, any fault, anything at all.
Let's take an example. Dr. Albert Schweitzer. by all accounts he was a great man, and a great humanitarian. He built hospitals for the poor, and dedicated his life to helping others. He was also a Jew.
Is it unconditional love to torture him for all of eternity, because he was born into a jewish family and was taught those beliefs were the correct ones?
If he lived a good life of love and compassion, but committed a fatal(according to Christianity) sin of not calling his god by the name of Jesus, is it unconditional love to torture him for all of time?
It seems to me, there are conditions to that love.
Now, I am not saying those conditions are a good or bad thing. That is not for me to decide(except as it relates to my life). I am just saying that it is conditional.
