Is God LOVE?!

From My Notebook
Many try and argue and convince others of their false teachings and distract thousands of people with an unscriptural application of "God is love".
In fact the phrase "God is Love" is found only twice in the Bible both times in I John 4 verses 8 and 16. But as the false religious like to throw this phrase in the face of those who protect the truth I would like to point out two other verses from I John 4:
So if one "believes in God" apart from acknowledging Jesus Christ is God come in the flesh then one is in error and shows no evidence of believing in God.
Okay not satisfied with that answer then how about these verses:
So verse 8 is that often misused verse confirming that God is love but notice verses 9 and 10 which further clarify how exactly God manifested His love to mankind, by sending His Son (Jesus Christ) to be our propitiation which is The act of appeasing the wrath and conciliating the favor of an offended person. God is offended by mankind's sin and our replacement who appeased God's wrath...can only be found in Jesus Christ.
So to believe in God one has to believe in who Jesus is and then to believe Jesus one would have to believe what He has said. So it would be a contradiction if one thought that anyone apart from Jesus could give them access to God when very clearly Jesus says that He is the truth and the only way to the Father (John 14:6). So in summation while God is love He is also holy and righteous and only allows unholy, unrighteous man access to Him and Heaven through Jesus Christ. Who loved us so much that He laid down His life for us as that appeasement to God’s righteous, holy wrath…boy that is LOVE!

2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: 3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
So if one "believes in God" apart from acknowledging Jesus Christ is God come in the flesh then one is in error and shows no evidence of believing in God.

8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. 9 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. 10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
