Help answer this question below.
"Fear of God" does not refer to a morbid fear of punishment.
It is based on love of God and respect for his position.
It's a wholesome dread of displeasing or disappointing him. When we love someone we don't want to do things that that make them unhappy.
Religious leaders who teach that God burns people in hell, are portraying Him as a monster. The Bible doesn't support this doctrine.
Is the rest of the Universe this Stupid????

You're reading Do you realize that when people tell you to fear God, they are really saying that God is dangerous, something or someone that is likely to cause pain or is a threat? If you don't believe me, look up the definition of fear.
