My question is:
How can you follow a book which contains a God who is displayed as loving in the New Testament yet of war and death in the Old Testament?

How is it equating the bible and god when it says the bible is describing god? To be equating them, it would have to say that the bible
is god.
It's a misleading question.
No its not. It fairly straight forward.
Let me re-phrase it for you.
How can you trust the bible when its description of god changes throughout?
