Certainly not reformed. But interesting theory. Not saying I believe it, but I'm more than 0% open to thinking about it. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00IGGZRJY/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1
It is wonderful you have those questions! Because God is like Jesus. He has always been like Jesus. There has never been a time when God was not like Jesus. We didn't use to know this. But now we do! (sentence by B. Zhand)
I've been in a very similar position to the one you are now - I also grew up a Christian and then it started slowly around 6 years ago, and when I started reading the whole Bible from the beginning the questions just got really loud!
I was no longer able to ignore the very same questions you are making.

But I kept searching for answers. I deconstructed my faith house, and God started rebuilding it, in a whole different and more beautiful form.

>“Why would an all loving all powerful God send his own children, no matter what they believe, to be tortured for all of eternity.”
He does not. There are several ways to understand the Biblical texts about hell, and eternal conscious torture is just one of them (and the worst way to read actually).
>I also began noticing verses that were, to put it bluntly, completely barbaric and disgusting.
Yes, they are. Those verses picture God in a way that is not how He is. And God allowed them to be written like that.
There's an awesome book that really helped me to the point that now I'm able to read the Bible again, still see it as inspired, but not disregard these questions, and these very subpar pictures of God.
Please do read "Cross Vision" from Gregory A Boyd
besides this invaluable book I also read these, and all of them helped me a lot:

Like I said, for me this started like 6 years ago, and this was the article that started it for me: God and Genocide
notice the sentence:
>This leaves us with only the third option. We have no choice but to revisit how we understand Scripture — particularly the Old Testament.
