There are hundreds, thousands of interpretations of what God is like.. coming from the Bible and not coming from the bible..
not one if delivered by man will ever be something that can be classed " EXACT " as not one person on this planet can verify it..
So really what your saying is " This is what I think God is exactly like, and there are some that agree, but their are others who disagree, so take it with a pinch of salt "

For me the important thing is that for many who were taught, and still believe that the Bible is "the word of God," it comes as a
great relief to learn that there is evidence that it does not teach endless torment for anyone. Regardless of which interpretation is true, many Bible believers are not even aware there is an alternate interpretation to make a choice from.
For example, if I had known about the following interpretations of the Bible I could have avoided a twelve year nervous breakdown 1966-78 that was cause by being afraid of a god who would let anyone suffer forever.
