I think that 2, 3 & 15 are gross misrepresentations of "God" or "Allah" in the monotheistic tradition.
"God" and "Allah" both require sacrifices for the sins of the people they created as signs of faith. Sacrifice is a primative religious concept that sprang from human misunderstanding about cause and effect. In ancient times, virgins were sacrificed as "signs of faith" to gods in exhange for bountiful crops, for example. Agricultural science put that mistake to rest.
Any god that requires a sacrifice, especially for the sins of the subjects the god itself created, is not compassionate, merciful or forgiving! Instead, such a god is nothing more than a sadist- delighting in the paradoxical cruelty manifest in creating a sinful subject then requiring that subject to pay for his sins.
Jesus tried to put a stop to the madness of sacrifice by submitting himself as the ultimate and final sacrifice. He said love is more important than sacrifice.
The events of the New Testament may very well redeem the compassionate, merciful & forgiving God.
What loving God would sacrifice his own son for the sins of the people he created? Perhaps a repentant God, that realized he made a terrible mistake in his design of the world. Only in God's recognition of his mistake and repentance are 2, 3 & 15 true. Yet, this would mean that God is not perfect, not omniscient and therefore doesn't exist in these terms.

Almighty God is omniscient, omnipresent, omnipotent, and He
doesn't sin, and He doesn't change his name from Jehovah to
Allah.
