David Wood has written:
In Islam one of God's 99 name "is al-Waddud, “the Loving.” God is called al-Waddud twice in the Qur’an. In 11:90, the prophet Shu’aib tells the people of Midian, “Ask pardon, then, from your Lord, then turn to Him; verily, my Lord is merciful, loving!” Likewise, in 85:12-16 we read:
He then tries to show that the God of Islam who is "the most forgiving , the most merciful" as every surah of Qur'an atests, is not genuine in his love and writes other passages in the Qur’an qualify God’s love significantly. According to him while God "is said to love those who do good deeds (2:195), those who are pure (2:222), those who are righteous (9:7), and those who fight in his cause (61:4)," he maintains that the Qur’an is equally clear that God " has no love for transgressors (2:190), ungrateful sinners (2:276), the unjust (3:57), or the proud (4:36)." and adds that it is even more significant that, God "does not love non-Muslims":
He criticizes the Qur’an for claiming that God "will love people once they believe in him and obey his prophet. The god of Islam has no love for sinners and unbelievers." He adds that, the “Love me first and I’ll love you back” kind of love exhibited by God in the Qur’an is condemned by Jesus in Matthew 5:43-48":
Lo! the punishment of thy Lord is stern. Lo! He it is Who produceth, then reproduceth, and He is the Forgiving, the Loving, Lord of the Throne of Glory, Doer of what He will."

Apparently David wood is unaware of these passages in bible.
In Deuteronomy 20 for instance we see Yahweh who according to David Wood and other evangelists is Jesus himself! instruct thus about war; If a city does not accept Israel’s offer of peace and open its gates, then “when the Lord your God delivers it into your hand, put to the sword all the men in it” (verse13).
Matthew 10:34–36
Μὴ νομίσητε ὅτι ἦλθον βαλεῖν εἰρήνην ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν · οὐκ ἦλθον βαλεῖν εἰρήνην ἀλλὰ μάχαιραν. ἦλθον γὰρ διχάσαι ἄνθρωπον κατὰ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ καὶ θυγατέρα κατὰ τῆς μητρὸς αὐτῆς καὶ νύμφην κατὰ τῆς πενθερᾶς αὐτῆς, καὶ ἐχθροὶ τοῦ ἀνθρώπου οἱ οἰκιακοὶ αὐτοῦ.
Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. And a person’s enemies will be those of his own household.
Recall that when the walls of Jericho came tumbling down, the Israelites adhering to Jesus of Evangelists' command “destroyed with the sword every living thing in it – men and women, young and old, cattle, sheep, and donkeys” (Joshua 6:21). In fact according to Joshua 11:20, “For it was the Lord himself who hardened their hearts to wage war against Israel, so that he might destroy them totally, exterminating them without mercy, as the Lord had commanded Moses.” Jesus commands capital punishments, i.e., the death sentences, for people who are sacrificing to a god other than Yahweh (Exodus 22:20), for persistent rebelliousness on the part of a child (Deuteronomy 21:18–21), to a child who hits or curses his or her parents (Exodus 21:15 and 17), working on the Sabbath (Exodus 35:2), premarital sexual intercourse (Deuteronomy 22:13–21), and the requirement for a priest to burn his daughter alive if she became a prostitute (Leviticus 21:9).
In John 8:44, Jesus calls “the Jews” the “children of the devil.” While Jews are commonly the target of such name-calling, polytheists are also attacked. For example, Titus 1:12 dismisses the entire population of Crete as “liars, vicious brutes, lazy gluttons.”
Matthew 7:23
καὶ τότε ὁμολογήσω αὐτοῖς ὅτι Οὐδέποτε ἔγνων ὑμᾶς: “ἀποχωρεῖτεἀπ᾽ ἐμοῦ οἱ ἐργαζόμενοι τὴν ἀνομίαν.
Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Get away from me, you who practice evil!
Psalm 5:4-5
ότι ουχί θεός θέλων ανομίαν συ ει ουδέ παροικήσει σοι πονηρευόμενος ουδέ διαμενούσι παράνομοι κατέναντι των οφθαλμών σου εμίσησας πάντας τους εργαζομένου ς την ανομίαν
Indeed, you aren't a God who delights in wickedness; evil will never dwell with you. Boastful ones will not stand before you; you hate all those who practice wickedness.
Psalm 11:5
κύριος εξετάζει τον δίκαιον και τον ασεβή ο δε αγαπών αδικίαν μισεί την εαυτού ψυχήν
The LORD examines the righteous and the wicked. He hates the lover of violence.
The prophet Amos, who speaks on behalf of Jehovah, who according to David Wood is Jehovah!!", delivers a stinging rebuke to the citizens of the Northern Kingdom of Israel, because of their worship exercises and declares God (or Jesus) despised their worship facades (Am. 5:21ff; cf. Isa. 1:11ff)
