God isn't just love.

Yes He is. Everything you mention flows from His infinite love for His creation.

As far as God not being able to see sin, that's false. Jesus became sin; He was as the scapegoat that the Jews loaded their sins on and sent out into the desert.

God hates sin, but He has conquered it. Through love. Everything about God always gets back to love.

Man, are you going to be surprised when you see the expression on His face the second time he comes around.

God is also judgemment.

It's not. Even Jesus felt God turn His face away. Why would Jesus have cried out such a thing? Are you calling Jesus a liar?

My God, my God, why have you forsaken me.

Also see Rev 21:6 - 8

He said to me, "It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To him who is thirsty I will give to drink without cost from the spring of the water of life. He who overcomes will inherit all this, and I will be his God and he will be my son. But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolators and all liars - their place will be in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death."

Which is why John 3:16 and following verses so eloquently state that God so loved the world that He gave His only Son that whoever believes in Him (note the operative word: believes) shall not perish but have eternal life. God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world but to save the world through Him. Whoever believes in Him (note that word believes again) is not condemned (again note that this is not all inclusive, it is conditional...) but whoever does not believe (interesting how Jesus keeps saying that what you believe or don't believe is important...) stands comdemned (care to parse that word??? Maybe Jesus meant something else???) already because he has not believed (there's that pesky word again...) in the name of God's one and only Son...

So where do you stand? After all, John 14:6 is an exclusive statement...

Conquered it?

Your post suggests God has merely learned to live with it.
