Kinda makes you wonder if He wants you to prove Him wrong?

no dude God is love and Just, you just dont understand the difference in foreknowledge vs predestination.....
in His foreknowledge he knows who will accept him and who will reject him but he didn't predetermine this he simply predetermined that all who follow him would be conformed to the image of His Son and because he is just and true he must give all a chance in life even though he knows they wont take it he still must offer a chance

According to Leibnitz God had an infinity of possible worlds he could have created. Being God he chose the world that would maximise good and that included some evil and some pretty nasty people.
In other words such things were necessary for the overall good.
A person qualifying for hell might say "Why me? God made me like this I couldnt do otherwise why do I get the blame?"
For the sake of argument lets call him George.
Leibnitz would say that George was responsible for his situation because he had free will.
George would reply "Thats nonsense - of all the possible Georges God could have made he chose me the one that would invade Iraq "
Leibnitz would say that of the infinite number of universes possible in which all the possible Georges had free will, he God chose the universe that contained this evil George because this universe would produce the most good.
Therefore George is responsible and can be sent to hell without a moments further thought. (were God to operate like this)

The fact that God knows that someone is going to hell or to heaven does not make that persone goes to that desteney. God knows what happaend, what is happening and what is going to happen, but he left the decision for you to decide where to go. If you want to go to heaven then ask me how.

His knowledge is infinite, he knows who will reject him even before they are born. You choose, and you can do so at any time in your life, accept or reject. Maybe he creates the ones who will go to hell for an example for the ones who go to heaven.

Humans procreate, out of free will. God still has a plan of salvation he offers everyone as sin will not abide in his presence and so those that chose to deny salvation will pay the wage of it. He won't force it on you, you've got to accept his gift by believing in him as savior, but again, humans are the ones procreating out of free will.
