"If anyone does not love the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be accursed." How do you square this with love your enemies?


Paul said the following.  My question is how is this loving your enemies?  I'll give you my take in a second.

1 Corinthians 16:22(NKJV)
If anyone does not love the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be accursed. O Lord, come!

I don't see any problem here.  I believe we should follow God's example.  God wants our enemies to accept Jesus and have eternal life.  That is loving His enemies.  God doesn't want it so bad that He becomes an unjust God and gives those people eternal life without them believing in Jesus.  In other words God finds them accursed as well when they don't believe.  Want proof?  They have chosen to go to hell and God will honor their choice.  But right up until the end He is wishing that they would change their mind. 

So while God loves His enemies, he continues to treat them as enemies as long as they choose to remain his enemy.
