No. He's the biggest mass murderer (see: the flood) and, being all-loving and all-powerful, naturally requires a human sacrifice to forgive all of us for a sin we did not commit. This is without mentioning the fact that the human sacrifice is not only his own son but the result of God raping Mary.

Certainly not in the Old Testament where God compels people to murder their enemies including their enemies infants and unborn. Jesus has the basic elements of a humanist but the NT was authored by several writers and some reflect the baises and beliefs of the time which are not humanistic. For instance a humanist today honors equal rights for all and the freedom for each to pursue their life goals and dreams. Slavery and sexual inequality were still present in the NT times. Thus, the God reflected is not humanistic by our standards. Some nonhumanistic NT passages:
Luke 12: And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.
1 Corinthians 11:2-6: any woman who prays or prophesies with her head unveiled disgraces her head—it is one and the same thing as having her head shaved. For if a woman will not veil herself, then she should cut off her hair; but if it is disgraceful for a woman to have her hair cut off or to be shaved, she should wear a veil.
Today we mostly recognize such things are unreasonable and even wrong. Thus, the NT also seems to depict a nonhumanistic God.

NO.
humanism: NOUN:
1. A system of thought that centers on humans and their values, capacities, and worth.
Does that sound like God? God created everybody and gave us free will. Some of us went out, thinking that we were better than God, and created our own belief systems, i.e, Islam, humanism, atheism, Hindu, Buddhism, etc...
Free will is the key to God's love and mercy and salvation.

Not at all. Th judaistic god is an all powerful force that doesn't tolerate any opinion that is different from his. That I would believe would be against the basic tenets of humanism

The God of the Bible can't be defined in human terms. They are grossly inadequate.

God is divine. He is a God of love. He is the creator. He is the Father. He is the provider. He is not on mans terms...he is much greater than that. Do not confuse secular thinking and living with the Divine.

Humans cannot think beyond their confines of their minds. When the fact is accepted, GOD makes sense!

No, but humanism does have its ultimate roots in the ethos of the Judeo-Christian tradition.

He is the Almighty God and our creator. He is the one and only God.
