We'll have to agree to disagree. I believe God's absolute nature is what it says over and over in the Bible, that He is holy. You believe that God is love. You ignore several scriptures which state "I AM holy," yet cling to 1 John 4:8 where it says "God is love."
BTW, nowhere in scripture does God say "I am love," but it is written, "I am holy."

Nope. You don't get it. lol
Saying, "I am holy", is like saying, "I am loving." It speaks of an attribute. Now, if God said, "I am holiness", then it would be like saying, "I am love." Love is loving. Holiness is holy. Thus, the Word states that God is holy... but it doesn't say that the very essence of God's substance is "holiness". It states that the very essence of God's substance is love. God IS love.
