Romans 9:22-23
What if God, wanting to show His wrath and to make His power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath, prepared for destruction, and that He might make known the riches of His glory on the vessels of mercy, which He prepared beforehand for glory,

Which human did God create whom he knows is never going to be saved?
What has that to do with loving His children?
Is it not possible for a human parent to love a child he knows is never going to be anything but a worthless thug?

Ah... When God created man, he created them in his image and gave them free will. Whether or not they wish to follow his way or not is entirely their will, but we know that God loves humans because he sent his only son to die for the sins of mankind. This will allow those who wish to repent to go back to his kingdom and hence get saved.

Wanna know a secret? Everyone will be saved eventually! It may take some people thousands of years to get out but Matthew 5:26 Jesus says nobody will come out of hell until they pay the full penalty for their sins.

God has always communicated with humanity on a level they could comprehend and relate to. Through whatever channels were expedient. Often through those who have no real comprehension of the truth they express. God is unconditional love, like sunshine it is always constant. All this stuff of hell and damnation forever must have been to scare those of a certain age to bolster their resolve to seek God. Thanks to the saints who have gone before we do not have to live such austere lives as they did. They have paved an easy path for us to follow. We all have unity with God in unconditional love within our hearts. NONE WILL BE LOST. We will all return to God together, for we are one in unconditional love, just as the colors of the rainbow come from sunlight,so to we all come from God.

It says He loves His children, not those who are not His children. God does not love everyone.
Psalm 5:4 "For You are not a God who takes pleasure in wickedness; No evil dwells with You. 5 The boastful shall not stand before Your eyes; You hate all who do iniquity. 6 You destroy those who speak falsehood; The LORD abhors the man of bloodshed and deceit".

This is one of the huge holes in the Abrahamic theologies, but tends to only undermine those certain forms of theism, not theism in general.

Maybe because He loves His own. Predestination, remember?

God is eternal having neither beginning of days or end of life, a Spirit fire or light called life. The Word begins with thought from conscious awareness I am, acquiring wisdom to reason thought to self with the Word. The Word was with God and the Word was God. This wisdom of thought with words is not any substance or matter but Spirit, the Holy Spirit. God is One, by Himself or alone with His Words the Holy Spirit. This timeless existence of reasoning wanted company and God’s thoughts turn to creating company or sons. Sons to behold, abide with, and communion with. God discovered love, not of the thought, but of the sons He envisioned. God felt this love, the magnificence of it and wanted His sons to love Him. God realized He could not create true love or forced it upon a being, but true love would only manifest in sons of freewill. The wisdom of God also knew it would be necessary to govern sons of freewill by laws that are fair and righteous, to hold them accountable. God was willing to risk rejection and rebellion against the law. Sons of freewill could choose not to love Him but must obey the law. The sons would need a place to abide, explore, and grow. God created the heavens and the earth, His kingdom.
Then, God the Father created all souls with intellect within a spirit body and with freewill. The law/s of this kingdom is unknown, but God is King and this was His dominion. One of God’s sons with freewill named Satan rebelled against God and the law. One third of God’s children followed Satan. God sentenced Satan to perish. The soul that sins shall die. Satan accused his followers of his same sin. Satan has the power or legal right, to accuse one third of the sons of God. God loved His children and could not destroy the one third. Instead, God destroyed that earth age. The earth became waste and empty, and darkness was upon the face of the deep.
The Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. Now in this earth age, sons of freewill placed in flesh bodies, are born innocents through the womb. With no knowledge of events of the rebellion are free to choose to follow God or Satan, a choice of eternal life or eternal death.
Satan and his close followers continued to rebel. God allows Satan and his followers some headway. Using this as the negative part of His plan, this is ultimately positive.
God’s plan forasmuch then, as the children are partakers of flesh and blood. He also Himself in the Son Jesus Christ likewise took part of the same. That through death He might destroy him that had the power of death, that is the devil or Satan. Delivering them whom through fear of death was all their lifetime subject to bondage. Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son and the express image of God’s person, God with us, became legal inheritor of the kingdom. Paid the price for sin, for the life of the flesh is in the blood. God has given it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls. For it is the blood, that makes atonement for the soul. God made Christ to have dominion over the works of His hands and has put all things under Christ’s feet.
