So many say that they are "God fearing Christians". Question, why are you afraid of God?

it's not a Human Fear like running away fro a Grizzly bear chasing you..

t is a fear of reverence giving GOD rightly worship and reverence to the Creator...Our Father in Heaven...

Who is the Creator of all Created....

Because they know their religion is bullshit.

I wonder if you are aware what double talk your post was. Please, this is not an attack. Just stop and think about how warped and silly your reply was.

You are trying very hard to justify fear by talking gibberish. The word fear means what it means. Reverence does not justify fear.

FEAR KILLS YOU & CONFINES YOU.. LOL

STOP READING THIS RE-WRITTEN BY DEMONIC HANDS BOOKS..

WAKE UP & SEARCH INSIDE !!

OR YOU WONT FIND ...

Peace

proper translation is respect

Judgement of course.

You don't have a clue what you are trying to justify here do you? I feel sorry for you...

LOL! Some book.

Professing your ignorance is the beginning of wisdom and the path to love, oh Heavenly Father.

Why was this one word mistranslated? If that is possible, maybe many more passages in the bible are "mistranslated" also.

You people will do anything to make the bible say what you want it to say.

Why was this ONE WORD mistranslated? Silly.

this is what I thought it was too. Never understood why I need to fear god. I'm not gonna fear an all loving being who created me, but I sure as hell will give him all my respect..and love

legitimate contact can lift you to a reality where 2+2 isn't necessarily 4.
at first it is scary.

In fact, dear Chsristians ..

To fear God is TO OFFEND GOD !

Think about it..

He created us, HE GAVE US FREE WILL.. AND YOU CHOOSE TO FEAR ??

GETOUTTAHEA' :Experience:

Again, how can this ONE word be mistranslated and the rest of the bible is to be taken as literal truth?

You can't have it both ways...

In fact, many things in the bible make no sense at all.

in Hebrew YIRAH means reverent or fear

fear of the LORD as in reverent trembling in the presence of his majesty


read ACTS :17

See above question...

Because he said to fear him, and that he is coming with the sword to divide and kill all those who appose him. even his own people who are disobedient to his law!

read some NDEs. Alot of people ask about the bible and which religion is right. And they always get the same answer.

The religion that brings you closer to god and the bible isn't meant to be read literally, but spiritually as with all religious books.

That is why there are 50 different factions of Christians all condemning each other to hell. They want to interpret the bible word for word in a logical sense. Doesn't work that way.

I remember one NDE in which a man asked why there are so many condridictions (yeah I spelled that wrong) in the bible. He was told "there are no condridictions, your trying to read it with a brain and not a heart."

ever look at a dictionary?
One word can have multiple definitions.
Fear means reverant awe.
it has always had that meaning.

If that is true, why not look at all life and read it with the heart? There is truth all around us. What I am saying is that the bible is not the only truth available to us in the world if we listen and understand it with our hearts and not through our mind and through fear.

See what I'm saying? If you do this, the truth of our reality can then be found in MANY books and through life all around us...

You are trying too hard to find truth where it doesn't exist...

"Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell. Matthew 10:28

See, people like you should fear GOD OP. God is going to destroy your body and your soul if you do not repent and submit to him. You will get judged and rejected and sent to Hell, just like you rejected God. Don't blame me and call me hateful, I'm just the messanger.

Belief that we are all gods is new age, occoult, bull crap. It's not too late for you to repent and turn to God but soon it will. Make the right choice.

Fear and Respect go hand and hand with GOD.

Does he want you to cower and act like a driveling idiot ?
NO

But you aught to fear if you don't do what He tells you....cause He can take you out of this world early......

And HE also has the keys to hell.

Don't fear man (like the pope or his agents like Obama and Bush and Hiter) who can destroy the body but can't destroy the soul, but fear HIM (GOD) who can destroy both both body and soul in HELL.

cause he is a serial killer whio kills billions and then tortures them forever in a hell.

I would be terrified too if god was like that. Thankfully it isnt that way.

Either you're with him or you're against him. Simple as that.

If you're not with God you're with Satan.

I have no fear of your evil God...

Ask Job

no kidding... look up the word in any respectable dictionary and see for yourself.

This why you are a lost slave. We are NOT children or weak lost souls. We are powerful infinite spiritual beings. We don't need to be guided, controlled or punished by any being. Certainly not by God.

You will stay a lost, suffering slave until you realize this truth...
