  1. The God of the Bible speaks of God's great love by sending His Son to pay the penalty  for our sins by dying on the cross and offers eternal salvation as a gift to those who believe on Him and what He did for us (Our good works or deeds can not get us into heaven.  We can't earn our way).  See verses below.

    "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son."  John 3:16-18

    I don't think the word 'kind' exactly fits the God of the Bible.  As you can see from the sacrifice illustrated in the verses above as well the highest form of love described in the verses below, the word 'loving' is a much more powerful and accurate word to describe God.  

    Jesus said, "My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. You are my friends if you do what I command." John 15:12-14

    As far as 'tolerant' is concerned... God is surely not tolerant but He is ever so merciful.  He does not overlook or tolerate our sin otherwise He couldn't be considered just.  In other words, our sin must be punished or God would not be just.  But He carries out His justice by paying the penalty for our sin with His Son's death instead of ours.   The word 'patient' may be a better word instead of 'tolerant.' See verses below.

    "The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance." 2 Peter 3:9


  2. "God is Love"  I John 4:8

    Psalms 117:

    O praise the Lord, all ye nations: praise him, all ye people. For his merciful kindness is great toward us: and the truth of the Lord endureth for ever. Praise ye the Lord.

    Psalms 36:7:

    How excellent is your lovingkindness O God! therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wings.

    Psalms 63:3:

    Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee.

  3. Listen up man. You don't have to sell God to anyone. God is kind and loving , but His tolerance only lasts for a while. If He finds unrepentant people they face His wrath. I know this beliefe isn't popular but neither is Jesus. The real Jesus I mean.
