We are to be more like Jesus.

We are NOT to be like YHWH.

The two are not the same;

YHWH is a man of war; YHWH is his name.

- Ex 15:3

"you shall worship no other god, for YHWH, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God"

- Ex 34:14

"For YHWH your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God.

- Dt 4:24

“Thus says YHWH of hosts [war]: I am jealous for Zion with great jealousy, and I am jealous for her with great wrath. Thus says YHWH"

- Zec 8:2–3

vs

"But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return, and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, for he is kind to the ungrateful and the evil."

- Lk 6:35

Does that description match YHWH?

Matthew 10:34-36

34 “Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35 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. 36 And a person's enemies will be those of his own household.

Your argument is invalid. Thankfully through there's no credible evidence that any religion is true, so just live a good life being a moral person.

“no credible evidence that any religion is true” I’m not going to debate with someone about the meaning of scripture who says this, but you should do a deep dive into the verse you quoted because it’s not what you think it means.

Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. (John 14:6)

Jesus (Iēsous) was either a liar, insane or telling the truth. All his disciples went to their death declaring that he died and rose again.

Some food for thought.
