Well, FEAR isn't helping the bible god now, is it? As a matter of fact, it has never helped HIM. Even the Israelites did not fear him in the bible. As the bible reported, as soon as Moses leaves the Israelites temporarily, they turn their attention to other gods to worship them. The bible god must be truly underwhelming in the fear department.

So therefore, it is not in the least surprising that christians - like the ancient israelits - are exhibiting the same lack of FEAR in the way they act, especially the so-called MEN OF GOD.

All tyrants rule with fear and soon, when the people get fed up and yearn for freedom, they lose the fear of that tyrant. The biblical God (If he exists) is a tyrant- murdering people who dont worship him or murdering families of people when he wants to test their faith (as seen in the case of Job).

The fear of God is the beginning of brainwashing into religion.

You can never respect or love something or someone you fear.
The reason Christians will ALWAYS have a distant relationship with their God, while practicing relgion in HYPOCRISY.
What a miserable way to live and DIE!!!

Why should you fear GOD?
Especially where you cannot alter a cubic breadth of your lifespan?
You can respect him. . . . but fear is duly misplaced.

I totally agree with this post. You cannot LOVE what you FEAR. But most importantly, you cannot FEAR what you don't physically SEE.

Humans basically fear what they cannot see especially in AFRICA.
The fear of the unknown rules their lives.
End result? No progress.

No, they don't. They only think they do. That is "fake fear". If they truly fear the god they worship for what he will do to them if they do bad things, Nigeria should be a peaceful place to live in today, something which is not the case. Nigerians' fear of their god is complete FAKERY. HIPOCRISY.

Funny enough the same people never fear the same God when it is time to do evil deeds or think evil thoughts.
Yes, I agree.
All based on hypocrisy.

The only time they fear god is when you tell them their god doesn't exist, then they get on their moral high horse and fake piety. What did you call them again? Hypocrites

The only reason they believe in god is because they really think they can live forever in nevernever land.

YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR PROBLEM IS ? YOUR DEFINITION OF THE WORD LOVE IS EUROPEANISED. LOVING GOD IS NOT A SENTIMENTAL OR EMOTIONAL VENTURE. LORD SAYS, THIS IS HOW YOU SHOW YOUR LOVE TO ME JOHN 14 VS 15 “If you love me, you will keep my commandments. this is how you show love. by keeping his commandments. not by showing your feelings as you do when you say you love a woman.

Bruh Goshen, this is why the fear has been truncated ECCLESIASTES 8 VS 11 Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil. as a result of the lord being NUMBERS 14 VS 18 The LORD is long-suffering

Nobody loves your poor god, then. Booohooo!! I feel for the lonely and unloved bugger. The poor sod. Perhaps if he'd killed less of his people in the old days and took good care of them. Perhaps...
