This is an interesting thread, honestly the way I found the Highway was on my search for Objections to God's Sovereignty by A.W. Pink (a great read) and by the way, thanks for having great resources

I have never really gave this subject much thought until someone told me "God can have a love, hate relationship. You know kind of like your mama-in-law" although very crude I did get his point. His argument was God loves every man because we are all created by Him and in His image but also hates him because of the corruptness of his whole being. The opinion posed to me, after he walked off, was there is nothing in a sinner but sin so there is nothing there to love, therefore He only loves people who are in Christ and legally sinless

Being as I am still "on the fence" any references or writings concerning this matter are welcome
