    Sure, I'll start with one so you won't be overwhelmed. Dealing with one at a time being easier on your nerves.


    1) God is love. - 1 John 4:8
    2) Love is not jealous. - 1 Corinthians 13:4
    3) "God is jealous." - Exodus 20:5

    To expand on the syllogism:
    1 Corinthians 13; Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.''
    1 John 4:7-8; Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. 8Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.

    As opposed to:
    Exodus 20:55 You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me,

    Two different descriptions of the nature of God that are clearly not compatible with each other.
