I had a college class called Christian Thought, in which the idea was relayed that God is...perfectly loving...

I can understand what it is to be perfectly holy, but can one even come up with a useful definition of what is meant by being "perfectly loving"?

Would those reprobates experiencing the joy of eternal torment burning in hell agree with this defintion of "perfectly loving"?

Don't know - don't want to find out.

IIRC the prof's position, the argument is that God's holiness cannot be superseded by his love. Because He hates sin His love does not spare sinful reprobates from eternal damnation.
