God judges. HE does.

God hates. HE hates sin.

God does not sin. HE is faithful and true.

These attributes of God (judge, hater of sin, sinless) are definitional. I can't imagine you are unaware of this.

HE faced all tempations and did not sin. HE is qualified to be the sacrifice without blemish for our sins. HE desires us as sons for all eternity. HE has done this. HE simply wants you to accept HIS priceless gift.

("It" wants you to spend all eternity with "it" in the lake of fire, separated from God. God is giving you the opportunity to decide who you will trust.)

Perhaps according to your set of beliefs. Not everyone agrees with you.

God hates. HE hates sin.

Again, not everyone ascribes a gender to The Ineffable.

L God does not sin. HE is faithful and true.

Same thing.

I'm quite aware of what some Christians opine are the attributes of god. Not everyone agrees with them, or finds you what you have described to be valid.

HE faced all tempations and did not sin. HE is qualified to be the sacrifice without blemish for our sins. HE desires us as sons for all eternity. HE has done this. HE simply wants you to accept HIS priceless gift.

No, the bible attributes these things to its central figure, and this is held to be true only by those who subscribe to your reading of it.

("It" wants you to spend all eternity with "it" in the lake of fire, separated from God. God is giving you the opportunity to decide who you will trust.)

To worship god out of a fear of hell is to be a slave to hell.

I'm not one of those.
