There are Calvinists who believe God does not have any love of any sort for the reprobate...

Again, I challenge you to name ONE Calvinist who says God has no "love of any sort for the reprobate."

This disagreement has come about over semantics. But the result is to divide the Reformed. Not good.

It is reformed systematic theology, when teaching about the attributes of God, that Goodness is the attribute not Love.

It seems as though, MacArthur views Love as the attribute of God and that Goodness flows from Love.

Is that what you see?

To quote the Pastor of the RPC we attended, "There is no one in Hell whom Jesus loved."

And FWIW, I believe if I had the time or inclination to dig around, I could find more than one such quote from some of the dear departed GRPLs.
