God is not exercising love towards an individual when casting them into hell. Neither would an individual be tormented in heaven regardless of their salvific status.

The reason I asked the question is because while God is love, the Bible never says God is loving in all His ways. It does, however, teach that He is righteous in all His ways. God is not required to exercise love at all times.

Don't know why so many people can't answer a question without mentioning Calvinism or Arminianism.
God so loved the world.......... while all were sinners.

What makes you think that sinners would be comfortable in heaven? Many sinners can't stand the word of God or His presence right now. There will come a time when sinners call on the mountains and rocks to hide them from the wrath of the Lamb. (Revelation 6:6)

Right. Your own verse makes my point. Hell is so terrible, nothing is worse.

And even if God loving the cosmos means every single person throughout history, it doesn't negate that God is not compelled to act in love towards all at all times. God is righteous in all His ways. The Bible does not say He is loving in all His ways.

God is love by nature. People reject God's love. There are consequences.
So answer the question, does God love them in hell ? Yes or No Isnt God still love when He puts them in Hell ? Or does He quit loving them ? How about the devil and his angels He prepared the Lake of fire for Matt 25:41 since God is Love, does He love them ?
 
Is there a set packet of questions that Calvinists receive when they complete the Calvinist training course, ten years and the same questions by different people over and over again.
Does God Love them in hell suffering for their sins ? Does He Love the devil and his angels since He prepared the lake of fire for them ? Remember Gods Love !

I think Calvinists need to accept that the Bile is silent on some things rather than create a god who fits in with their faulty soteriology.
 
Perhaps a little self awareness would help you.

But... Whose side are you REALLY on?

God is not a god of maliciousness.

Self awareness would kill you.

Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man would come after me,
let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

Taking up your cross would mean facing in yourself what must die in order for Christ to take over the vacant space for his own residence... only by means of sound doctrine.

If that inner smugness of yours could be dissolved, you would soon realize that you are a snarky resentful person.
You resent those who choose correctly.

What comes from between your "Two Lips" reveals this.
It becomes apparent to another once someone becomes used to you.

Who is this sneaky guy?

They are not suffering for their sins.

They suffer for their evil rejection of God.
He Himself is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours
but also for the sins of the whole world. 1 John 2:2​

Jesus atoned for every man's sins.

It is EVIL - not sins - that sends them to Hell.
To join Satan who is the father of such an evil.

Stop being ignorant of what the Word tells us.

He Himself is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours
but also for the sins of the whole world. 1 John 2:2​

......
 
The word "Allah" means "god" in Arabic.
Calvinism/Reformed/doctrines of grace/whatever label you want has a "god" too, which is similar to "Allah": both have a narcissistic false-god (little g) and there's not much difference between the two other than minor details added to the particular tastes of each. Both religions have their own man-made gods.

And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. Romans 1:23

If you think it is correct to exalt righteousness above love, you are wrong.

Righteousness without love was the mode of the Pharisees.


1 John 4:8

Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.


1 Corinthians 13:13

And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

I did no such thing. I merely pointed out that the Bible records that God is righteous in all His ways, but doesn't say He is loving in all His ways.

Do you believe God is acting in love towards someone He casts into hell?

A person goes to hell because they have designed their soul to be compatible with hell and incompatible with heaven.

It would be unloving to force a damned soul into heaven, where it would not fit in with peace, goodness, self-control, and joy.
 
They are not suffering for their sins.
Does God love them while He confines them into everlasting fire and torment ? What about the same for the devil and his angels ? Does God Love them as they are punished in everlasting fire ? Yes or no

You understand neither the magnificence of heaven or the devastation of hell if you believe this.

When what we believe butts up against what is true, the outcome should be the adjustment of our beliefs and not the adjustment of truth. If heaven were worse to the heathen than hell, why not make a place like heaven for them to suffer in?

Yes, God’s love and mercy endures forever.

But if someone by free will decides to remain in darkness, and rejects God, He must lovingly allow them to be separate from Him. He does not stop loving them.

God hates sin, but Jesus died for the sins of humanity, so even sin cannot keep people from heaven, if they repent and hate sin, trusting in the Savior from sin.
