Not all things that inspire fear should be avoided. A wise person knows his limits and knows what situations he can handle and what ones he cannot. A little fear is healthy. It gives us respect and appreciation. It causes us to not get careless. Fear of the Lord should not drive us from Him, but should help us to understand Him and deal with Him reverently and respectfully. When we encounter our Lord with both joy and trembling, we know Him in a special and meaningful way.

Deuteronomy 10:12
“And now, Israel, what does the Lord your God require of you, but to fear the Lord your God, to walk in all his ways, to love him, to serve the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul,

Psalm 25:14
The friendship of the Lord is for those who fear him, and he makes known to them his covenant.

Psalm 111:10
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; all those who practice it have a good understanding. His praise endures forever!

IT IS WELL. GOD BLESS

Fear is Negative. You fear the evil monster because you were told about his little toy,hell fire.

You can never be yourself around someone you fear.

A good reason to question this evil doctrine and it should be a crime to teach kids.

It is unfortunate in Nigeria that people fear man than GOD, the precarious nature of things in nigeria make serving GOD a difficult task for feable christians.make GOD helps us to fear HIM

Scripture is full of examples of how fearing God is a positive rather than a negative thing. For example in Genesis 42:18, Joseph wins his brothers' trust when he declares he is a God-fearing man. It was because the midwives feared God that they obeyed him instead of the authorities by sparing the Hebrew babies (Exodus 1:17). Pharaoh brought disaster on his nation because he did not fear God (Exodus 9:29-31). Moses chose leaders to help him on the basis that they feared God and wouldn't take bribes (Exodus 18:21) and told the Hebrews that God met with them in a terrifying display of his power so that they wouldn't sin (Exodus 20:20). The Mosaic Law cites fear of God as a reason to treat the disabled and elderly well (Leviticus 19:14, 32). And lest you think this is only an Old Testament idea, note that Jesus states this stronger than anyone when he says, "Don't be afraid of those who want to kill your body; they cannot touch your soul. Fear only God, who can destroy both soul and body in hell" (Matthew 10:28). And Paul says to work toward complete holiness because we fear God (2 Corinthians 7:1).

The anunaki gods you meant. Fear is a tool of control.

If a kind of fear gives us joy, then it is a pseudo joy which was only gotten under duress. The fear of an imaginary being who wants to save us from a problem he made for us (hell) can't be joy. I see it as foolishnes

I would rather be good because of my own human inclinations rather than because I fear a God.

I have found out via your profile that you are a confirmed Agnostic. I just don't have time for your kind.


Jeremiah 29:12-14 English Standard Version (ESV)
You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you, declares the Lord, and I will restore your fortunes and gather you from all the nations and all the places where I have driven you, declares the Lord, and I will bring you back to the place from which I sent you into exile.

You are currently in spiritual exile. It is up to you to seek God.

Peace
