How will this conflict ever be solved? Part of my problem with theism is the very trouble of defining God in the way we have just witnessed.
We solve this problem by turning to the bible.
Again incase you missed it the first time, in John 3:16 their is a condition mentioned in the Love God offers.
We also find in psalms 5 and proverbs 6 a list of 'evil doers.' That God hates. There is even a short list of people who the bible mentions by name.
Without a doubt their is indeed a 'Christian doctrine' that says God loves everyone without condition. "God hates the sin loves the sinner." This is an empty Christian platitude, ( not found anywhere in the bible) it directly contradicts what is actually written in the bible concerning God's feelings towards some of us.
Psalms 7:
11 God is a just judge,
And God is angry with the wicked every day.
12 If he does not turn back,
He will sharpen His sword;
He bends His bow and makes it ready.
13 He also prepares for Himself instruments of death;
He makes His arrows into fiery shafts.
