It doesn’t mean He doesn’t love them.

He loves them while they are roasting eternally in pain and chagrin?

(Luke 16:20-31)

If it doesn't mean that God doesn't love them, what in deed does the consignment to Hell and eventually the Lake of Fire mean?

In taking our place in His Passion, Jesus found out what it is like to suffer the full fury of the Mighty God against sin in a person, His righteous wrath, by experiencing Hell and the Lake of Fire as our substitute, and He will never forget it. His purchased possessions will never have to know, will they?

It means God is JUST.

It doesn't mean that He doesn't love them.

God doesn't send people to hell based on how He feels about them. They go to hell because they reject God's provision of salvation in Jesus Christ.

And the lake of fire was created for Satan and his followers, not for mankind, although men end up there.

If God didn't love sinners, then He would not have gone to such great lengths to provide the means to come back into right relationship with Him, because while we were yet sinners (the ones whom you claim God hates) God demonstrated His love for us by dying for us.

If God hates sinners, then where did the love that He has for us that enabled Jesus to die on the cross for us, come from?

If God hates sinners, why did the Holy Spirit inspire Peter to write this?

2 Peter 3:9

The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance.
