That's just one of the contradictions. Another being that Yahweh was a god of war, then a God of Love.
Not so. No contradiction here at all.
A man who loved his family.... provided for them, taught them and nurtured them could be seen as a man of love.
That same man could act and be seen as a man of war if someone was harming his family. So, he is both a man of love and a man of war.
Simple, yet you cannot see that in a God context.
All humans are supposed to be 'Gods children' - human parents do not kill their wayward children unless they themselves are killers. Plus you ignore verses which say God is good to all; ''But I tell you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you''
You can't have it both ways. Cherry picking does not resolve the contraction.
