Does This Sound Like God Is Evil?

Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil.
1 Corinthians 13:4-5

But above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection.
Colossians 3:14

Let not mercy and truth forsake you;
Bind them around your neck,
Write them on the tablet of your heart,
And so find favor and high esteem
In the sight of God and man.
Proverbs 3:3-4

And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him.
1 John 4:16

And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
1 Corinthians 13:13

We love Him because He first loved us.
1 John 4:19

And above all things have fervent love for one another, for “love will cover a multitude of sins.”
1 Peter 4:8

Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil. Cling to what is good.
Romans 12:9

Doesn't sound like it to me.

Dear GodSpeed63, these are very good verses. Why this question in first place? Because, sometimes an intentionally harmless question can trigger doubts in people’s mind who really don’t go through the whole message. Why give that chance? And the title God is Evil is a bit uncomfortable and unsettling even if it was for testing the knowledge and understanding.

@ManuelShorey The biblical God characters make the devil look like the most loving character in the biblical fairytale. They are cruel and plain evil.
@Diotrephes While you are entitled to have your own opinion please exclude me from a religious debate, friend. That was not my intention.

My brother, Diotrephes; and others like him need to know the truth, that God is Love. If you know a better way to express it, please share it with me.
@GodSpeed63 I was not trying to be critical, my brother. But, I feel the title can be slightly modified. I get your reason though. So if you feel this will work…how about ‘Love that endures’ for a title.
@ManuelShorey Dear Manuel, I think you would have had to been here for quite a few years to understand why he posed that question. I understand it, because I've been here since 2016 and watched all the trolls constantly claim that God is evil, just to try and get a reaction out of followers of Christ. This was sort of a scripture reminder that God's character is not one that is evil, at all. This tells us why it's so important to read God's Word and get a good understanding of who he is. Of course the biggest proof of God's love, was his sacrifice on the cross to pay for our sins.
Dear @LadyGrace , Thank you for clarifying this. I simply reacted because I felt a little uncomfortable with the title. Then I see a lots of comments (Majority of them in the negative sense), and at one point I felt like I shouldn’t have interacted with this post. It’s not that I am perfect but probably that I am not emotionally matured enough. Sometimes I react impulsively. But I really value your opinion and also value the amount of positivity you spread to my life and inspiring me to fight against my addiction. So, yes, if you believe this kind of posts really make a positive impact then I absolutely agree with you.
@ManuelShorey Friend, you don't have to agree with me just to agree with me. You have a right to your opinion. I just wanted to let you know the background of the situation. You will always see a lot of negative comments mostly on Christian posts and specially this one because a lot of the trolls here who are not Christian have attacked him and I both for years so you will see a lot of those. We don't think anything about them because we're used to them and being cussed out and sometimes they say they wish we would die. Hahaha that's because they don't like Christians, so don't let the negative post affect you. Sometimes some people just like to fight and look for a fight cuz they have nothing more to do with their lives I guess. We try to be kind to these people but they just keep on and on and we're used to that. We still love them but not the way they act.

I'm so glad you wrote. I was going to write to you and ask you how you are doing. I'm very curious to know. I have added some new good things to my life like a lot of exercising. That is really a good thing to do. It helps you both mentally and physically and it makes you feel good, both mentally and physically. Let me know how you're doing, my friend.

@LadyGrace what would you call killing almost the entire population of the earth, men, women, children, babies animals?

Justice for evils of mankind before it killed itself off.
