    You still don't provide any evidence that sending sinners to hell is not an act of love by God.
    All that God does is loving. When he raised up the Assyrians and Babylonians to conquer Israel and Judah, it was done out of love. When he justly condemns sinners, it is done out of love.
    The fact that you cannot comprehend that as love is irrelevant other than it just means your brain is to small to comprehend it.

    Hold on a minute, you said this.............

    The burden of proof is on you to provide evidence for that one.

    God is love. Therefore when God ordains people be judged as guilty and sent to hell, he is acting in love.

    If you can't accept that truth that's too bad and quite sad.

    Somewhere in the archives is a thread on this matter. It explored the concept that God cannot hate, but that hate was an attribute of God loving less.

    God's attributes cannot be extinguished. "God is love...". There is no deminishment into hate. God is not split in His personality, and does not have multiple personalities.

    The concept of the attribute that God is love seems lost in some who so desire to hate.

    The love of God and the capacity of that love is not that of humankind, for within our limited scope it obliges that He must hate, something, for we certainly do do. But hate is not part of the disclosed character of God given in the Scriptures.

    Rather, the matter is of hate expressed by God is that of something or someone loved indeterminately less. It is a matter of comparable value within the spectrum of God's love, but that which does have value - if only for example sake. That is pictured in the statement about Esau. It is that of comparison, not an expression of a characteristic of God.

    There is no part of the creation that Is beyond God's love.
