Man would rather fear man because he can see him. God can't be seen. Even whether he truly exist remains another topic for another day. I tell you that the people who sold the concept of god to us also have doubts about his exixtence.

God is merciful and slow to anger.
human being can swing to action immediately and can result to the following.
1. Death
2. Betrayal.
3. Bad names.
4. And so many that can sum to 1000s.
In all, we should be careful with our dealings with human and cast our fears and burdens to the all sufficient God.
The Messiah.

AntiChristian:
The God that can kill himself is worthy to be feared!
That in Islam, a man was said to have knocked out the eyes of angel of death is worthy of being feared grin

Sahih Muslim 2372 a
Abu Huraira reported that the Angel of Death was sent to Moses (peace be upon him) to inform of his Lord's summons. When he came, he (Moses) boxed him and his eye was knocked out. He (the Angel of Death) came back to the Lord and said:
You sent me to a servant. who did not want to die. Allah restored his eye to its proper place (and revived his eyesight), and then said: Go back to him and tell him that if he wants life he must place his hand on the back of an ox, and he would be granted as many years of life as the number of hair covered by his hand. He (Moses) said: My Lord what would happen then He said: Then you must court death. He said: Let it be now. And he supplicated Allah to bring him close to the sacred land. Thereupon Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: If I were there, I would have shown you his grave beside the road at the red mound.

Whomever brought you into this world is your God, that is, your Mama.

There is a saying that you can only rise as far as your women. Oyibos people understand this concept very well and has put it to very good use.

Meanwhile Nigeria men insult their women and have continued to suffer from extreme poverty, running to countries that respect their women. How I wish those countries will shoot them on sight. Japa fools.

It’s in their ahadith, the narration of their false prophet and they believe that Muhammad didn’t say anything on his own but only what Allah told him to say, in short the words of Muhammad is the words of Allah!

Because subconsciously we all know it's crap, if I carry a pipe and shout "I'm going to break your head!", you'll run.
If I shout and say, "My God will punish you!" you'll even insult me back.

Man fears both God and Satan through man because they both live in man. You can't fear what you can't see. God and Satan, good and bad all dwells in the heart of men. I fear to disrespect a good man more than to disrespect a bad one... The concept of fear is complex, it's a compendium!
Re: Why Do People Fear Man Rather Than God? by Adakintroy: 9:14am On Dec 04, 2022
Of all the 10 commandments only the first ( love ur God with all ur heart) is dedicated to God. And even so its indirect related to men. the rest are for you interpersonal and social relations/ social orderliness with ur brother. Its not a given what we have. Its very fragile. We are capable of great carnage and mayhem. Even with laws saying you must not kill many still kill. That tells you what we are sub naturally. Its not nothing.

Whatever makes you honor God cuz you to honor men and if you honor men you honor God. Its very much woven as one. No you should not fear men. But if you do not honor them you may end up in fear of them.

If I tell you let's say don't steal and you disregard it and steal. Wait till men Round you up. Especially on this part.

Gastrocnemius:
Assuming we are still in the days of the old testament, the earth would have been wiped out by now.
Just imagine, you get instant judgement of your sin.
We have taken God for granted because we know He's ever forgiven nor matter the gravity of our offense.

You re right,because he his a merciful God people take him for granted do bad things,if it was in the old time as u sin u die instantly thank to Jesus begging on our behalf

Before God no get joy o u do anyhow u collect

It's hell that people fear more. Tell people there's no hell and watch how they put away anything concerning righteousness.
Extreme debauchery and wickedness will bloom and flourish if there's no fear of hell. Even in the presence of law enforcements(men).

Human being reacts to things they see physically than that of the spiritual,hence they worship the creation (man) than their Creator.that's why they tagged some pastors as God of men, rather than Men of God .

...because GOD is merciful and slow to anger but man is merciless and quick to wrath...one angry man is what is necessary to end all life as we know it...
Re: Why Do People Fear Man Rather Than God? by Franzinni: 9:56am On Dec 04, 2022
Becasue MAN is the devil in flesh ... The only time Jesus Christ every showed anger was becasue of MAN, and it's ability to use Godliness as a skin to hide thier evil deeds.

Still the same today as it was back then!

As long as there is man, evil follows naturally !
Re: Why Do People Fear Man Rather Than God? by Onyipk: 9:57am On Dec 04, 2022
People fear men rather than God, because of the power of sight (what the eyes see).
For physically, man can only see man and not God.

Thus, if you are filled with the Word of God just like Caleb and Joshua (who were among the twelve spies who went to spy the land of Canaan), you will see an Omnipotent(all powerful) God in every thing that you do.

But if your life is empty of the Word of God, you will see life from the point of view of the ten other Israelites spies who saw themselves as grasshoppers before giants.

Man (in the generic) , must realise that the only being the are to fear is JEHOVAH and none other for the FEAR OF MAN IS FOOLISHNESS but the FEAR OF GOD, IS THE BEGINNING OF WISDOM.

When man FEARS another man for whatever reasons, problems upon problems abound for no man can save/deliver you without the help of God.
