Your post is babble and accusations written in a condescending nature.

It amazes me that you did not figure out when I spoke of Love crushing sin that God is Love and does not change from Love or God would be changed

“For thou lovest all things that are, and hatest none of the things which thou hast made: for thou didst not appoint, or make any thing hating it.”- Wisdom 11:25

“For I am the Lord, and I change not”-Malachi 3:6

I’m really not interested in going round and round with this with you.

On the other hand it could be that the problem doesn’t lie in the unclarity of the post. Also, preaching the law of God is pretty much what got all of the prophets killed. The Israelites found it ... well ...

So, it was the love of God that washed away the millions in the flood? It was the love of God that rained fire and brimstone and so destroyed everyone in Sodom and Gomorrah? It was the love of God that left tens of thousands of dead in Egypt, and then tens of thousands of Israelites dead between Sinai and the Jordan? It was the love of God that destroyed first Samaria in 721 B.C. and then Jerusalem in 586 B.C.? It was the love of God that He inflicted on His own beloved Son on Calvary? It was the love of God that crushed and destroyed Jerusalem in 70 A.D.? Is that what you are saying?

Is it the love of God that those on Christ’s left hand will experience on judgment day? Have you read Matthew 25?

Is it the love of God we read of here? “And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire.” (Revelation 20:15)

“He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the WRATH OF GOD ABIDES ON HIM.” (John 3:36)

Please notice that I didn’t even once have to refer to anything that the much belittled Apostle Paul wrote.

No condescension, just fact. It only sounds like condescension, because it is God speaking to humanity, to Pharisee and tax collector alike.
