Paul asks rhetorically, "What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid. For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion." Romans 9:14-15.
As for the verses you cite to suggest that I am violating God's "love" command, those verses are directed to the community of believers in Christ. What applies to believers does not apply to those who believe and promote a false gospel and serve the god of this world. That's why I said before that you are not my brother. Jesus told the Pharisees, "ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep." The tares and the wheat look alike until they produce fruit and are ready for harvest. The tares turn black and their fruit is poison; the wheat turns golden brown and its fruit is life sustaining. You and most people who identify as Christians are tares sown by Satan. Most people can't see the difference between the the wheat and tares because they look so much alike. It's been my experience that the tares hate the truth and openly resist it and they attack those who hold the truth in God's written word. This is how I know that you and your like-minded fellows on this site are tares full of hatred for the truth of Scripture and those who promote the gospel of grace.
I look in Proverbs for wisdom.

As the partridge sitteth on eggs, and hatcheth them not; so he that getteth riches, and not by right, shall leave them in the midst of his days, and at his end shall be a fool.

Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; suddenly shall he be broken without remedy.

16 These six things doth the LORD HATE: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,
19 A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.
Proverbs 8:13 - The fear of the LORD is to HATE evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.
Proverbs 11:2 - When pride cometh, then cometh shame: but with the lowly is wisdom.
Proverbs 16:5 - Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the LORD: though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished.
Proverbs 16:18 - Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.

Romans 12:16 - Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.
Galatians 6:3 - For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself.
Philippians 2:3 - Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.
James 4:6 - But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.
1 John 2:16 - For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the PRIDE of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. (Satan)
GOD did not create TIME in Genesis 1, or around 6.000 years ago, no, absolutely no.
What prevails is the Word of GOD, do you agree? The WORD is GOD.
Proverbs 8:v.22-23 and 30-31CJB, among others: (CJB-Complete Jewish Bible)
22 "Adonai made me as the beginning of his way,
the FIRST of His ancient works.
23 I was appointed before the world,
before the start, before the earth's beginnings.
30 I was with Him as someone He could trust.
For me, every DAY was pure delight,
as I played in His presence ALL THE TIME.
31 playing everywhere on His earth,
and delighting to be with humankind.
Many times before the GOD's Plan of retoration of all things, as was revealed to Moses, i.e. Genesis, there was a multitude in the Garden of Eden ruled by a Cherub, the son of morning, but today is the sosns of perdition, the man of sin. Isaiah 14:v.12 to 15 reveal:
12 "How did you come to fall from the heavens,
morning star, SON of the dawn?
How did you come to be cut to the GROUND,
conqueror of NATIONS?
13 You thought to yourself, 'I will scale the heavens,
I will raise my throne above God's stars. (God's stars? Read Daniel 3)
I will sit on the Mount of ASSEMBLY
far away in the NORTH. (In the NORTH? Psalm 48:v.2 CJB - (2) beautiful in its elevation, the joy of all the earth,
Mount Tziyon, in the far NORTH, the City of the Great King. See, the City of the Great King is in the NORTH)
14 I will rise past the tops of the clouds,
I will make myself like the Most High.'
15 "Instead you are brought down to Sh'ol,
to the uttermost depths of the pit.
GOD - the Word is GOD - has not begining , neither ending, GOD is from Eternity to Eternity, JESUS is the beginning and the ending, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.
Proverbs 8:30,31 KJV. :-)
Wisdom's Call: Proverbs chapter 8.
Proverbs 8:1-4
1.Doth not wisdom cry? and understanding put forth her voice?
2.She standeth in the top of high places, by the way in the places of the paths.
3.She crieth at the gates, at the entry of the city, at the coming in at the doors.
4.Unto you, O men, I call; and my voice is to the sons of man....
Proverbs 8:22-36
22.The Lord possessed me (Wisdom) in the beginning of his way, before his works of old.
23.I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was.
24.When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water.
25.Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth:
26.While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world.
27.When he prepared the heavens I was there: when he set a compass on the face of the depth:
28.When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep:
29.When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment:
when he appointed the foundations of the earth:
30.Then I was by him, as one brought up with him: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him;
31.Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth; and my delights were with the sons of men.
32.Now therefore hearken unto me O ye children: for blessed are they that keep my my ways.
33.Hear instruction and be wise, and refuse it not.
34.Blessed is the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors.
35.For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favour of the LORD.
36.But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: all they that hate me love death.
Just to expand a little more to the truth S Spencer shared with you. As recently someone had a question similar to yours. The Love of God, Jesus Christ, is beyond what we can imagine. What I perceive as more important to ask is "do I love Jesus Christ"?
God is Holy and hates sin. To repent from the sins of this world, giving your life to Him, and live to do His Will is very important. I will just leave a couple Scriptures for you showing how important it is for us to love Him with all our heart, soul, and mind. Our love for Him shall not be forgotten.
Deuteronomy 7:9, Deuteronomy 10:12-13, Psalms 31:23, Psalms 97:10, Psalms 145:20, Proverbs 8:17, John 14:21,
James 1:12, James 2:5,
God Bless.
Where evil began, was in the heavenlies, as the "covering cherub" ( Ezek 28:14,15), using his power of choice, allowed pride to develop in a skewed way resulting in anger & rebellion against the Most High. He, as all the beings in God's Presence, ought to have been 'proud' to be created to worship & serve the Eternal God, living in all Holiness & Perfection, but Satan allowed what ought to be directed towards God to be reversed & directed to himself. And that has been the root of man's sin from the beginning: that he can be as God, to fulfil his own will & desires, disregarding what is true & holy. From the 'smallest white lie' to the most heinous of crimes, they all demonstrate man's pride to believe that he has the power to rule his life, for he alone is the god of his life.
I like your question because it is the same thing I used to think. In my belief. Once you are saved by the Lord Jesus Christ and have a personal relationship with God there is no more need to fear Him. As pure love, for Him, will take over and your entire life with everything you do surrounds Him. In living your life after the foot steps of Christ. Living a life that makes God happy. After repentance from things of this world and living a life of Holiness, grace, and truth. Actually doing our best seriously to stay away from the sins of this world because that is what makes God happy.
Another way to look at it is the Hebrew word "yirah" for "fear" can also mean "respect, reverence, or piety". Hopefully people won't take this the wrong way and that I don't think there should be fear of God. As one of the verses states, that Adam posted, how God is Almighty and can destroy the body and soul of the evil and wicked. Sometimes fear is what may drive people toward God. Of coarse you have to believe in Him first which is a big problem in this world today.
So if you truly have an intimate relationship with God. There is no need to fear Him as love overcomes fear. Of coarse your respect and reverence for Him will be through your love. Living your life for Him. Your true love will shine to Him. Here's a couple verses you may like. God Bless you sister.

I've kind of adopted a lifestyle of methods to satisfy my thirst and hunger for Gods Word through scripture. I seem to experience more growth through praise and worship and just sitting quietly beside my bed on the floor, before the Lord: listening for His voice.
King David frequently sat quietly before the Lord: Psalm 63:6, Proverbs 8:34

27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon

We existed with God before the world was formed.
And there was a war in heaven.
Pharaoh killed Israel's first born males to genocide Israel.
I believe once Pharaoh acted to destroy God's people, he lost his free agency and God then showed His power thru Pharaoh and Moses destroying all the first born males of Egypt.
We are in a battle of good and evil.
The battle is real.
So real, God gave His Only Begotten Son for God so loved the world.
I'm a Mormon.
I am passionate in my faith in Christ.
I will discuss my beliefs but if you are derogative I will be derogative.
Paul says, For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew my power"
I believe the answer involves a pre-existence, meaning we existed before we came to earth.
Pharaoh was a vessel of dishonor and would not purge himself becoming a vessel of honor.
Scriptures verifying a pre-existence:
Jeremiah 1:5 Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.
Romans 11:2 God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Wot ye not what the scripture saith of Elias? how he maketh intercession to God against Israel, saying ...
1 Peter 1:20 Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you ...
Psalms: 90:1-2 (A Prayer of Moses the man of God.) Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations.
Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.
Proverbs: (Wisdom, she is speaking of being with the Lord before and during Earth's creation)
Proverbs 8:4 Unto you, O men, I call; and my voice is to the sons of man.
Proverbs 8:30 Then I was by him, as one brought up with him: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him;
Proverbs 8:23 I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was.
Proverbs 8:24 When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water.

2 Corinthians 5:21, 1 John 2:2
At the end of all that you will see that Jesus was the Scapegoat for us. He has already made atonement for us.
You're going to have to look this all up and then ask THE HOLY SPIRIT to teach you what it means today. He's your Teacher.
It means prayer on your part, and turning off all racket to sit quietly before the Lord for answers. You will be amazed at what you learn. Psalm 63:6 and Proverbs 8:34
Speaking as an old street minister/ evangelist from the 80's... God still works through us.
I didn't go to college or seminary! I Have been in the school of the Holy Spirit for the past 35 years! He teaches me everything He wants me to know.
All I have to do is sit still and Listen.
Psalm 63:6, proverbs 8:34
I'm not going to get into testimony now. I'd rather talk about the Holy Spirit. Come over to those who seek help from God; who need someone who can pray with wisdom and discernment.
hearing..........and listening for His teachings
watching ........ with you eyes constantly on God
waiting........... for God's return and His instructions

God is Good!!
Mat 24:38 - For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
Mat 24:39 - And knew not until the flood came, and took (WHO?) them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of
man be.
Mat 24:40 - Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
Mat 24:41 - Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
Mat 24:42 - Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.
The WICKED were TAKEN and Noah was LEFT BEHIND at the end of the flood.
Luke 17:26 - And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.
The WICKED were TAKEN and Noah was LEFT BEHIND
1 Peter 3:20 Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.
The WICKED were TAKEN FIRST and Noah was LEFT BEHIND
Luk 17:27 - They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.
Luke 17:28 - Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;
Lot was left behind - the wicked were taken
Luke 17:29 - But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.
Luke 17:30 - Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.
So do we want to be taken or left behind?
Matthew 5:5 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
th "V" in th KJVB because of the great victory Christ Jesus led me to, in the King James Version. He did it through an amazing near-death experience, from a severe cerebral contusion; localized with my brainstem, in a motorcycle crash I had: Monday April 10th, 1972. This, combined with the miraculous recovery Jesus facilitated for me, from the ICU in the UT Hospital Knoxville, Tennessee 37920. I have been to where Jesus Christ is now, to that other place. Now that I have a good understanding of God's Word in the KJVBible; I am ready to tell my story.
I began this work in Proverbs 8:22 following Genesis 1:01, focusing on, "in the beginning of his way;" Monday morning, January 1st, 1990 and by Saturday, March 7, 2020; I had all that was needed for the hypothesis, but still needed to complete the work on the paper explaining it (in process).
I would disagree with your summation of the work. I think the perspective of the KJVInterpret is innovative, intelligent and learned. It is innovative in that using "grammar," as the media, offers a pathway having much to offer in terms of clarity, depth and correctness. It is intelligent in that intelligence must be used to imply the history of other dimensions with the grammatical features offered by Hebrew, Greek and English. And of course, it is learned meaning that one must be learn the linguistics in the letters of English, Greek and Hebrew. And, it is original, I have found nothing like it anywhere. So; go ahead, take it for a test drive and see if it does not meet up to your standards.
