That is one of the fascinating things about belief. People are free to believe whatever they want to - regardless of what anyone else believes. You are free to believe whatever you choose to - as am I.
The idea that God is less than Love does not make sense to me. Just as saying that Jesus was a condemner and an attacker does not ring true for me.
God is MORE than Love. He is Love, but He is also Holy. Perhaps you think that God's Love means that He will not condemn man's sin, but if that is the case then there is no reason for Jesus to have died for our sins. If there was no reason for Jesus to have died for our sins, then He would not be God's son, because there would be no reason for God to send His son to us. If Jesus was not God's son, then there is no reason to pay any attention to His teaching, because he was clearly a lunatic -- claiming to be one with the Father, claiming He would rise from the dead, etc.
But Love is not the pitying, excusing, weak emotion that says, "aw. . . sure, go ahead. I love you anyway." That, as C.S. Lewis said, has cheated many a statesman out of his honor and many a woman out of her virginity.
The problem (for us) with God being Love is that he is also Good - all the Good that there is. And sin cannot exist in the presence of Absolute Good - it shrivels up and burns away. In other words, God does not really condemn the sinner - the sinner and his sin condemn themselves, because they cannot exist in God's presence.
Jesus most certainly condemned the unrepentant sinners - not just the cleansing of the Temple, but the multiple fierce and uncompromising condemnations of the Pharisees and Sadducees "you brood of vipers! who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?", and the Seven Woes in Matthew . . .
And you can't put that down to a bad translation, unfortunately. It's there in the original Greek, plain as print.
