You claimed that an understanding of a god was possible by reading a particular book. That part, I agree with. You implied that this understanding would include the concept of a "god of love." That part, I don't agree with. The more I've read of that book, the less love I see.
I would like to know which parts *of the book* convince you that this is a god of love, and how you decided to ignore the parts that mention his wrath, jealousy, hatred, and tendency to inflict armies and plagues on people who get in his way.

Eph. 2:11-16 all people whether Jews or Gentiles have to be saved by grace through faith. And when they are, they become one body with Jesus Christ the Cornerstone. There is no other salvation whatsoever. We become the Spiritual Israel of God. We are not the Israel after the flesh
