"First of all "Jesus does not "love" us all"

Actually, He does. But He is also a God of Justice and will punish unrepentant sin.

Scripture says that He is "unwilling that any should perish" (2Pe 3:9), and John 3:16 says Jhn 3:16 says, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."

So he loves everyone at least enough to have gone to the cross for them. He might love some of us more than others. But he sees the potential in each one of us and loves us as individuals regardless of our sin. He "loved us while we were yet sinners"(Rom 5:8).

Nevertheless, if we remain in unrepentant sin. If we never avail ourselves of the pardon made available to us, then He will judge us according to our works. And our evil works will condemn us to the second death.

No Danny, God loves those that are His..

Proverbs 8:17 ESV I love those who love me, and those who seek me diligently find me.

Psalm 5:5, "The boastful shall not stand before Thine eyes; Thou dost hate all who do iniquity," Psalm 11:5, "The Lord tests the righteous and the wicked, and the one who loves violence His soul hates." Lev. 20:23, "Moreover, you shall not follow the customs of the nation which I shall drive out before you, for they did all these things, and therefore I have abhorred them."

Prov. 6:16-19, "There are six things which the Lord hates, yes, seven which are an abomination to Him: 17 Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, 18 A heart that devises wicked plans, feet that run rapidly to evil, 19 A false witness who utters lies, and one who spreads strife among brothers."

Hosea 9:15, "All their evil is at Gilgal; indeed, I came to hate them there! Because of the wickedness of their deeds I will drive them out of My house! I will love them no more; All their princes are rebels."
