I disagree. There is a sense in which God loves everyone, in that everyone bears His image and He loves His image. But at the same time, he hates the unregenerate sinner because of his sin nature. I don't think it's contradictory to both love and hate someone.
The way I understood it was that man was made in the image of God, but the fall was a radical fall that effected all of creation. Therefore the image of God that man was made in has basically been wrecked by the fall, when we are finally glorified the image of God is fully restored.
Is this incorrect anyone?
