Can God love?

[Drich]

The vast body of christianity envisions jesus as a kind and gentle shepherd.  Frustrated assholes re-envision him as a frustrated asshole.  Persoanlly, I wonder how many distinct personal jesi there actually are in the world...each minor or major difference allowing a believer to drape christ in some part of their own personality...projecting themselves and their own words and opinions into the mouth and person of a god.  This was, ofc, the characters initial purpose..so they;re not really doing anything revolutionary no matter how they go about it or what subject they choose as a pet project - be it the nature of gods love or the method in which he communicated or comported himself.

What you continually fail to understand is all shepherds had two sides. look at the story of david in his duties as a shepherd. he was kind and could not do enough for his flock making sure their every need has been met, yet to the wolf lion or bear david became a monster, he slaughtered them without hesitation or mercy. it matter not what the reason the lion or bear killed (feed cubs) David struck first struck hard and without mercy.
