Sometimes, people misunderstand GOD's intentions for the saved and the damned.
Does GOD want everyone to be saved, or does He want to send some to Hell?
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 3:9
The LORD hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil. - Proverbs 16:4
These two verses do not contradict each other.
GOD does want everyone to be saved, but He created Hell specifically for the purpose of torturing the damned. He has to have someone to put in Hell, or else Hell would be a big waste!
I am glad to have gotten that settled once and for all.
