John King wrote:
There is different references of God's love, one is towards the Elect of God . . . and the other is towards the lost sinners of the world! You have referenced only the love of the Elect!
But God died (in Christ) for the lost, for the sinner, for those who have lived not believing in God, for the world!
As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Romans 3:10,23
But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
2 Peter 3:8,9
God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Romans 5:8
Christ died for our sins. … He was buried. … He was raised on the third day, according to the Scriptures
1 Corinthians 15:3-4
In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world so that we might live through him. In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
1 John 4:9-11
But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ— by grace you have been saved.
Ephesians 2:4-5

For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
John 3:16,17
If God's love was not directed towards the lost, the evil, the sinners, none would have a chance . . . . but, in God's great love for the lost and the sinner, Jesus died to restore us to a relationship with God! To live by the law is death . . . the law does not save us . . . only God's grace and mercy is sufficient to save us, not by any works of righteousness are we saved! God's love for the lost sinner is what brought Him to send His only Son to die for us all . . . so that none should perish! This is why all have the choice to accept Jesus as Lord or not! This rejection of Christ and God is the justification to send the lost to Gehenna/hell!

Your preaching is falling on deaf ears, John. Jesus was not the son of God, nor was he the Messiah. You are a prisoner of Satan and you cannot understand. You are studying a false, Satanic doctrine. He knows his place is in Hell and he wants to take as many people with him that he can. He also wants to be worshiped as God and thru Jesus he is worshiped as God. In Genesis 3:1 he is called "subtil". This means that he has an intellect and he is clever. You are caught up in his web of lies.
