Another response from the same source,worth a chuckle. Perhaps the proper questions should be asked.
1. "Will God forgive the sinner?" 2. "Will God forgive the wicked" 3. "Does God ever change his mind" 4. "Is God able to repent"
If the answer is yes, does God do these things out of hatred for the sinner, or out of love for the sinner?
I doubt anyone will seriously address these questions. My response ; LOL Exactly which sins or mistakes do you think God should repent of ?

Does God love those condemned to hell? No. I just wanted to add my answer; it looks like the question has been treated by others already.

The hatred and damnation of the wicked displays God's ineffable holiness and justice.
Amen to that!

At the other extreme, there are those who go too far and posit that God shows no benevolence to the wicked whatsoever, aka: hyper-Calvinism.
I agree.

Depends if one is a 4 or 5 point Calvinist (some would say there is no such thing as a 4 point Calvinist, an argument for another thread!).
4 pointers would say God loved all, died for all (i.e. no limited atonement). And thus those who go to hell would be loved. 5 pointers would say God loved and died for only the elect (limited atonement). Thus those who go to hell are not loved.
A bit black and white/simplistic, but hopefully reasonably clear. I don't believe there is such a thing as a 4 point Calvinist.
