Do Xtians Fear Or Love God? by aruzuoke(m): 8:08am On Apr 26, 2012
Most times I wonder the type of life christians live, always stereotyped to the biblical xters. I would like to know, do xtians generally love God and obey him or do they just obey his laws bc they fear eternal condemnation in hell.

god in his infinite wisdom and love gave you freewill to choose between only two choices: you either love him back and spend eternity shouting "alleluya" with other boring souls, no sleep, no sex, no party; or you don't love him in which case he burns you alive over and over for ever and ever with infinite love.

the choice is yours even though he knows what you'll choose before he created you. Infact he, himself mapped out your destiny for you and you have no choice but to freely choose this destiny because remember he gave you freewill.

it is all your responsibility.

High grade insanity of the mind to even consider believing such crap.

Fear is a pillar of any faith-belief doctrine..

Not necessarily so.

Fear and love can NEVER go hand in hand.
Respect and love? YES!

How can you love what you fear? TYPICAL MGBEKE LIFE! cheesy
Only Christians can afford such love.
No wonder intolerance and bigotry reign supreme in their lives and relationships.
Tufiakwa to such a GOD. . . and the so-called Christians too!
The reason MOST Christians can't stay happily married and violence free.
They have no concept of what love is.

Who wanno love a terroristic God!
Tufiakwa again!
The word fear has never been in my dictionary.
Not for man. . .and definitely not for GOD!
I only love what I respect. . . NO FEAR, NO COWARDICE. kiss
Man or spirit? BRING IT ON! cool

the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom. 'Love' is a bastardized word. when mortals talk of love, they are conjuring mushy feelings of affection and desire etc etc. when God talks of love, he wants you to obey his commandments. loving god is not a desirous feeling, but an obedience to his laws. so yes 'believers' fear and love God.
Re: Do Xtians Fear Or Love God? by Jenwitemi(m): 10:36am On Apr 27, 2012
Quite on the contrary. The FEAR of God is the end of wisdom. The rest of your post is just... so i won't bother replying to it.

It's a mix of love and fear. Fear in this case bearing more on reverence and respect. i've seen people love and fear their parents, their jobs, their alma-mata(schools), water, God etc.

Love and fear is what happens together in real life. Grow up and come out of your logic class.
Re: Do Xtians Fear Or Love God? by rastamouse: 1:20pm On Apr 28, 2012
We both love and fear the LORD.

A slave cannot love a master, love can only exist btw two equals and its mutual.

Please how is love and fear interelated? how can the real life application be determined?

Both,but the main one is fear. Let me ask you this, if you ask or order your child to go and fetch water for you.What do you think it make him carry out your order? Yes, that thing that make your child to obey you or you to obey your father,that thing exactly makes us to obey our God.

thats because you dont know the meaning of love. you have been seduced by the ways of the wicked. PROVERBS 12 VS 26[b] the way of the wicked seduceth them.[/b]. see, the world has been handed to the wicked JOB 9 VS 24 The earth is given into the hand of the wicked. now the ways of the wicked permeate every facet of society. the wicked has indoctrinated youinto believing that 'love' is a mushy desirous lustful feeling. well thats wrong. this is the lords definition of love JOHN 14 VS 15 If ye love me, keep my commandments. see God does not want your lustful desirous feelings. he says you show me love by obeying my commandments. now you see how your post makes no sense now ?
