Is God negative because he excludes, judges against, hates, speaks against, punishes, is wrathful?

Yes, more needs to be said.
If God's law given by God to Moses is negative, then Moses, the law, prophets and God must be negative according to 2x2s.
If they think God's word and law is negative, then surely if they were reasonable they would believe God is negative too.
G I T, get with it.
Please write a long post too. The longer is better.
Don't bother putting in scripture either unless you plan on twisting or distorting it to Glorify (yourself) In Terribleness
- yes, write a book

No. Just because God condemns certain behaviours, does not mean that God is negative - in the sense that this word is used in modern language to mean "bad". For the scripture says, "God is light, in him is no darkness at all!"
God is definitional of what is good, holy, and right.
[Someone Wrote] If they think God's word and law is negative, then surely if they were reasonable they would believe God is negative too.
When I speak of God's Law being negative, I mean it is based on a negative logic - every commandment begins with "Thou shalt not", and thus it prohibits certain behaviours. It tells us what we must NOT do.
This is in contrast with the two Laws defined by Christ who placed them in a positive logic - Love the Lord thy God; Love one another - both tell us what we MUST do.
But the Law also has a negative message: we are all sinners, we will all be found guilty by the Judge of the Law, and we must all die bodily and spiritually forever. We cannot understand the New Testament Gospel without understanding of the Old Testament Law: hence the Gospel teaches us to "Flee from the wrath that is to come!" and again, "Repent, for the Kingdom of God is at hand!"

I am accustomed to ignorance masquerading as righteousness on this forum. Most of the people who abuse me could not explain a doctrine, perform exegesis on a scriptural passage, or even explain the function of the Gospel if they tried.

Yet, although I have referred to scripture many, many times on this forum, no one has ever been able to show where I have misrepresented it, or made inaccurate use of it. I am told I am a liar, but no one can find any proof of my alleged lies.
If you are like me, you'll find this significant in understanding the ex-2x2s and the "gospel" they uphold.

Gloryintruth, you may be unaware that you come across as a bit smug. I don't believe you mean too. You're probably just stating what you believe to be fact. However, knowledge is so much more precious when it's seasoned with a spirit of humbleness, don't you think?

GIT, I have seen on more than a few occasions people pointing out where you have misrepresented or misused scripture.
The fact you rarely submit to another person's interpretation or an understanding not akin to your own, undoubtedly beguiles you into thinking that you have never misrepresented scripture.
Of course when two sides become entrenched in their beliefs it commonly becomes my word versus yours.
As George McGovern once said " The cloak of eloquence conceals much weakness !" Something to beware of.

Hello What. Do you refer to the plague of locusts? Leprosy?Flies or pigs that fly?If its the locusts Id say nooooooo God wasnt suffering PMS. Now if its pigs flying Id say it was another god decieving small minds on mindaltering substances. The charactor of the Godhead is male without testoserone. although they do have feminine nurturing abilities.People have written whole books on the charactor of the Godhead, Winky Pratney was one I think.

Without going through all your past posts and pointing out your lies. You said all the laws are negative. Eph 6:2 Honor thy father and mother; which is the first commandment with promise; Eph 6:3 That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth. You lied again. No wonder you don't use scripture and justify yourself based on your opinons. You don't know what you're talking about. You just try to act humble. Humility is submission to God and obviously you've missed the boat there. -Not a big liar like you

Mar 12:30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.
Negative?
