It seems that there is a tendency to focus on love alone, judge God based on a human understanding of love and disregard every other aspect of God’s being and character. God is love alone and by definition God would be far greater than our conceptual and perfect in his being. It appears to me that you judge God as you would a mere mortal.


No, the attributes of love are well described in the bible. They are not mine. I make no assumptions. It is stated that God is Love. I quoted the relevant verses, so it has nothing to do with me or whatever I may or may not believe


With all due respect, to define God by one aspect of his nature and character is disingenuous at best. God is not define only by the aspect of love.

I have no doubt that you would not want to be defined by only one aspect of your character and nature. No one would want that because we realize that we are complex and not monolithic. Why would we disservice the idea of God by defining God as monolithic


Take it up with the bible. It is the bible that describes love and tells us that God is love. It has nothing to do with me. I do nothing more than quote and point to the contradictions.
