God is Love, seems to be setting a low bar for Love? Right?

    God is Love, seems to be setting a low bar for Love? Right?

    Should, Yahweh is Love, be read as, Yahweh is Hate?

    God is as dualistic as the universe is.

    Yin and Yang compliment each other but one side is perceived as dominant in our subjective views.

    Most Christians think Yahweh to be good, but many in both the believer and non-believer camps disagree.

    Reality also disagrees.

    I see more hate in Yahweh than love.

    Do you?

    Regards

    Yahweh is a God of Love for His creation. https://reasonsforjesus.com/roman-historian-thallus-mentions-darkness-during-jesus-crucifixion/

    God is beyond love and hate, those are little human constructs. God is beyond even the universe, nothing applies to Him.

    How do you talk to God? For me it's a one-way conversation.

    You would need to ask Him but He isn't talking to you apparently.

    God is very hateful, vengeful and jealous.

    it says so in the Bible.

    or to reject the idea that the God of the Bible, is the TRUE God.

    i dont believe in a God that has human emotions and flaws.

    so you must know about the Council of Jerusalem, where certain rules for Christian behavior were established:

    -cannot ingest blood, meat containing blood.

    -idolatry forbidden.

    -cannot eat meat of an animal that was inhumanely killed.

    -fornication (sex outside of marriage) is forbidden.

    Yahweh is just another word for God.
    But it doesn't matter, because there is no god. :)

    Were those rules established by God or humans?
