YHWH’s hatred and destruction vs. the Father’s boundless love. YHWH commands the Israelites to hate enemies and destroy them utterly (Deut 7:2; 23:3-6). In the Evangelion, Christ commands love for enemies: “Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you” (Evangelion; cf. Luke 6:27-28).

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. (Apostolicon, cf. Gal 5:22–23) Let the fruit of the Spirit flourish in us, for these virtues stand above every Law.

YHWH demands sworn loyalty; the true Good Father demands simple truth. YHWH commands oaths in His name only: “You shall fear YHWH your God… and swear by His name” (Deut 6:13; 10:20). Christ forbids all oaths: “Do not swear at all—not by heaven, not by earth, not by Jerusalem… Simply let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes’” (Evangelion G; cf. via Matt 5:33–37 parallel).
