God of Death or Love

A couple reasons I can come up with...Being loving and of war and death are not necessarily mutually exclusive nor contradictory (iano explained this in detail) so its a non-issue.Because the New Testament is just that, the new one. It is an update to the old one and takes precedence.

The question is not about how god is defined. The question is how can you follow the Bible when it has an apparent contradiction of god being both "of love" and "of death".

No they're not. From the OP:

In the New testament God is described as being "loving of all his children", but then again in the old testament he is also displayed as a God of death

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?

Emphasis added.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. 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?
