I was came across an Atheist YouTuber and one of his arguments against the existence of G-d is Schellenberg's non-resistant divine hiddenness argument and its three premises.
How would you address this argument and the premises of this argument from a Christian perspective?
The syllogism is as follows (see [SEP entry](https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/divine-hiddenness/#ArguNonrNonb)) :
1. If a perfectly loving God exists, then God would ensure that all capable individuals who are open to a relationship with God are aware of God's existence (non-resistant seekers).
2. There are some non-resistant individuals who are capable of a relationship with God but do not believe in God's existence.
3. Therefore, a perfectly loving God does not exist.
