what is schizophrenia; is the word employd correctly here; e.g., maybe it's too tight of an interpretation when 'multifaceted' (in a more positv sense) is accurate(?)

 We speak of the law-giving God (the giver of Torah) and the God of grace as if they are mutually exclusive.  We speak of a God who is love, who hates.  We speak of a God who has more than one covenant, instead of one covenant that is renewed.  When we approach certain scriptures it is almost as if we come to them with a certain part of God in mind.  When we read Deuteronomy we read it with the Law-giving God in mind, not the God of grace.  When we read of the mass slaughter of Israel�s neighbors we read it with the God who hates in the forefront, with the God who loves in the background.  God becomes schizophrenic.
