Someone's getting excited... Let's not become overly combative over scripture first of all, and 2nd, you just gave a long list of assertions that are actually not fact. They're interpretations and schools of thought on the nature of God and your relationship to him. There are many interpretations.
When Christ was faced with similar debate over fine doctrine he handled it simply and we would be wise to do the same...
Matthew 22:34-40
34 ¶ But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered together.
35 Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying,
36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
38 This is the first and great commandment.
39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
