Is God really the good guy in the bible?

[Forest]

What about in the New Testament where God sacrificed a part of himself, was beaten mercilessly and made to carry his own cross to his crucifixion, spent hours bleeding to death on that cross because his legs weren't broken during his crucifixion (which would have allowed him to die more quickly), died and then suffered in Hell for three days, all for your, and the sum total of humanity's, sins?

What about in the New Testament where God came to the earth as a human to bring messages of grace and mercy? Where he taught us that he goes out of his way for the lost sheep, because every one of his creations is so valuable to him? Is he still the bad guy?

I respect your belief and opinion, but to me those are just stories. I can't view them any other way but pragmatically

You probably haven't heard of the Holy Trinity. Meaning
God
Jesus
Holy Spirit
Are one being, all three of them exist together as God, God=God, Jesus=God,Holy Spirit=God.

Why would God refer to himself as his own son?

How can a God bleed Human Blood?

God isn't omnipotent. Omnipotence doesn't exist simply because of the paradox: "If a being can perform any action, then it should be able to create a task which this being is unable to perform; hence, this being cannot perform all actions. Yet, on the other hand, if this being cannot create a task that it is unable to perform, then there exists something it cannot do."

I believe that "God" is the universe. It's the only thing that's everywhere, that's everything, that's truly infinite.

I don't see the point of using contradictory examples. God is infinite. That's like asking can you make a number higher than infinity, it's a logical fallacy. I always like to refer to the scene of the burning bush. Moses asked for the name of God and the answer he gets is "I am that I am" and the name of God in Judaism is YHWH, which roughly translates "to exist". God is not some cosmic man pulling levers, he is the very totality of existence, the Ein Sof- the unending infinite. So I guess he is kinda like the universe, but even greater beyond full comprehension.

He isn't like the Universe, he is the Universe. And the Universe is him. We're God's children, and also the Universes children. God, is everything, everywhere and at all times. So is the universe. We will never comprehend God, as we will never comprehend the Universe. God doesn't have a creator, like the Universe and has always existed because there must always be something. But, for there to be something, it must be observed. If people stop observing God, he would vanish because there is no one observing him. It's the same with the Universe. (We know this because of

The difference between the two? Nothing. It all depends how you look at it.

I'll leave it at that, because we're entering the realm of philosophy. I'm not comfortable discussing the way I think just yet, especially on the interwebs.
