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.
