God isnt loving? a side note

As an addendum to my previous posts regarding a discussion with an online friend. Round one here and round two here.

From the Bible:

Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? saith the Lord GOD: and not that he should return from his ways, and live?

...for why will ye die, O house of Israel? For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord GOD: wherefore turn yourselves, and live ye.

Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?

The above are all from the Old Testament, which is many times claimed to be filled with a God of anger as compared to Christ. These verses are part of an article that answers the question Isn't God REALLY the ONLY EVIL agent in the Universe? Much more on the matter there and well worth the read.
