Just because they would not confess "I do love evil" does not make it so.
Most people consider themselves to be good persons, yet when they are taken though the law they soon realize that ALL have sinned and come short of the Glory of God and that there is none that is righteous. Only God is GOOD Jesus said
Which makes Bro Strange's post all the more interesting. In that sense (your post), who doesn't "love evil", after all? Will there be nobody in Heaven?
OK, of course those who are saved will be in Heaven, sure. But do the "saved" somehow stop "loving evil", while the "lost" (whether by choice or simply by never hearing the gospel) somehow "love evil"? That would be the implication of Brother Strange's post, it seems.
I thought that I answered the question. The lost go to hell.
All who are lost are evil. Men love darkness rather than light because their deeds are evil. All who love the light will go to the light and will walk in it.
Sorry that I did not make that plain.
What about those trinitarians that believe they have obeyed and are walking in all the light that they know? Are they evil? I know we are a born in sin and shaped in iniquity, but there are and have been millions of folks who read the scriptures and followed them according the all the understanding that they can muster.

I voted not sure only because you didn't give a better choice. Actually I am sure that God will not fail in what He came to do, and that is to be the Savior of all men.
"This is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance (and for this we labor and strive), that we have put our hope in the living God, who is the Savior of all men, and especially of those who believe. Command and teach these things." (1 Tim. 4:9-11). "

God is the Savior of all men. Meaning all nations of men as opposed to the prevailing Jewish doctrine that only they would be saved. Rather absurd to think he meant all men that ever lived will be saved when Yeshua said "few there be that find it" speaking of the way to life.
The wording on the poll I don't believe is exactly what Timmy intended to say. If one is lost after final judgement, there is only one answer as to where they will spend eternity........unless you are a JW.

You mean I should have had only one choice, not two?
I see. So the closest answer for you would perhaps be "The lake of fire. Eternal torment. Burning forever!!!", but not necessarily torture forever? How would spending eternity in a lake of fire not be torture or torment?
No, the closest answer would be "The Lake of Fire" period. Revelation is a book of symbols. What fire is a symbol of I can't say

Yes, the children of the devil love evil and the children of God love good.
