Well what did He say? For God so loved the world. Seems man is all over this world and He gave His only son that who so ever believes will not die but have ever lasting life. Christ didn't come to condemn the world but to save it. Aagin the "world" lets keep going

1st Tim "For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. " All is all and that is all all means.

Lets just look at one of many in the OT "Do I take any pleasure in the death of the wicked,” says the Lord GOD, “rather than that he should turn [away] from his [malevolent] acts and live? "

Seems to me He really loves this world that He left heaven became His creation....who since man was made who loves you like Him..who would in your worst moments still take all that on Himself and die for you.

I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine.
I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

Re "God may get no pleasure in the destruction of those refusing His Son, but where does it say He loves the lost?":
You just answered your own question. (no pleasure = love)

Yes, every good gift is from God, but what God intends for good can be perverted or used for evil, including faith.
Make no mistake: your "disbelief"/opinion involves your intellect/logic.

And re your ???: See 1 John, especially 2:3-9 & 5:1-5, in which love is used as a synonym for saving faith.

Yes God would have all to be saved.. But in the end not everyone will be saved because God must be Just in all His doings and thus He must be justified in saving all whom He ends up saving..

To use an analogy.. It's like a young man who loves a young woman and wants to marry her and have a life long relationship with her, but she has absolutely no desire or feelings for him.. No matter how much He loves her, no matter how much he desires her, no matter how much he does for her, no relationship is going to happen because she just does not want one with him.. It takes two to tango..

The LORD is perfect in Love and loves us all but we must reciprocate that love to have an eternal relationship with God. God has bent over backwards and suffered death on the cross to make a Way for all to be saved but the tragic reality is that millions of people have rejected the gift of salvation and so no matter how much The LORD desires for them to be saved they will all end up in the eternal lake of fire..

His Holy Spirit can lead them to living waters but in the end they must drink it..
