FEAR OF GOD

Barry Johnson

Well-Known Member
This is false.
Just as I feared the discipline of my dad, so we fear God as our Father.

Hebrews 12:3-29 Consider him who endured from sinners such hostility against himself, so that you may not grow weary or fainthearted. In your struggle against sin you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood. And have you forgotten the exhortation that addresses you as sons? “My son, do not regard lightly the discipline of the Lord, nor be weary when reproved by him. For the Lord disciplines the one he loves, and chastises every son whom he receives.” It is for discipline that you have to endure. God is treating you as sons. For what son is there whom his father does not discipline? If you are left without discipline, in which all have participated, then you are illegitimate children and not sons. Besides this, we have had earthly fathers who disciplined us and we respected them. Shall we not much more be subject to the Father of spirits and live? For they disciplined us for a short time as it seemed best to them, but he disciplines us for our good, that we may share his holiness. For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it. Therefore lift your drooping hands and strengthen your weak knees, and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be put out of joint but rather be healed. Strive for peace with everyone, and for the holiness without which no one will see the Lord. See to it that no one fails to obtain the grace of God; that no “root of bitterness” springs up and causes trouble, and by it many become defiled; that no one is sexually immoral or unholy like Esau, who sold his birthright for a single meal. For you know that afterward, when he desired to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no chance to repent, though he sought it with tears. For you have not come to what may be touched, a blazing fire and darkness and gloom and a tempest and the sound of a trumpet and a voice whose words made the hearers beg that no further messages be spoken to them. For they could not endure the order that was given, “If even a beast touches the mountain, it shall be stoned.” Indeed, so terrifying was the sight that Moses said, “I tremble with fear.” But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to innumerable angels in festal gathering, and to the assembly of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven, and to God, the judge of all, and to the spirits of the righteous made perfect, and to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks a better word than the blood of Abel. See that you do not refuse him who is speaking. For if they did not escape when they refused him who warned them on earth, much less will we escape if we reject him who warns from heaven. At that time his voice shook the earth, but now he has promised, “Yet once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heavens.” This phrase, “Yet once more,” indicates the removal of things that are shaken—that is, things that have been made—in order that the things that cannot be shaken may remain. Therefore let us be grateful for receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, and thus let us offer to God acceptable worship, with reverence and awe, for our God is a consuming fire.
reverence and awe . Not fear .

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.
Proverbs 9:10

There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.
1John 4:18
AMEN SGO

Now you reveal the truth about yourself Barry, who you truly are.

GOD commanded us to FEAR Him, but you HAVE NO FEAR OF GOD!

Jeremiah 5.22
22.Do you not fear Me? Says the Lord. Do you not TREMBLE before Me? I placed the sand as a boundary for the sea, a perpetual barrier that it cannot pass, though the waters toss, they cannot prevail, though they roar, they cannot pass over it.

At first I though you are some kind of psycho, but you actually godless, and this is why you so easy twisting and bending my messages and fabricate meaning that is not exist in my posts.

Well, in this case I will take you for who you are, and will treat you as the ordinary unbeliever.

In your posts you use such words as "grace" "truth" and "love." And you posted some statements from New Testament about these exceptional qualities, which are all true, but do not relate to the theme I posted.

Can you post a statement, or verse, or some passage that rejects fear of GOD or make it unnecessary. Just like I did when I posted many verses from the OT and NT revealing that FEAR OF GOD is necessity for every true Christian.

I have a couple of questions for you.

Can you define the definition of these words you often use "grace" "truth" and "love."? How these words expressing themselves in life of the Christian?

And I tell you even more, I am a living example of that the FEAR OF GOD can do to a man, it prevented me from many temptations, adultery, cheating, stealing, and many other sins and put my life on the godly track, since when I never look back.

Of course you perhaps was born a "perfect" Christian Barry, and the FEAR OF GOD not for you, you are already "perfect" and you have nothing to fear.

But I am far from perfection, but FEAR OF GOD changed my life completely. Before I do anything, first I think of GOD, how He would react on my thought, word, or action, and only then I make my decision to act.


The verse below is written about me.

Proverbs 16.6
6.”By loyalty and faithfulness iniquity is atoned for, and by the fear of the Lord one avoids evil.”



The verse below written about those who has no FEAR OF GOD, and because of it they have no knowledge of the Word of GOD, despise wisdom written in the Bible, and ignore instruction of GOD. They are called as fools, and I completely agree with that assessment.

Proverbs 1.7.28-29
7.The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, fools despise wisdom and instruction.

28.Then they will call upon me but I will not answer, they will seek me diligently but will not find me.

29.Because they hated knowledge and did not choose the fear of the Lord.




Revelation of John 14.6-7
6.Then I saw another angel flying in mid Heaven with an eternal Gospel to proclaim to those who live on the Earth, to every nation and tribe and language and people.

7.He said in a loud voice, Fear GOD and give Him glory, the hour of His judgment has come, and worship Him Who made Heaven and Earth, the sea and the springs of water.’



If all of it do not convince you Barry, then nothing will.

You clearly don't read the Old Testament.
You clearly have not noticed God isn't exacting out punishment on Sin like in the OT today . The ground is not opening up and swallowing believers , Christians are not being killed because of murmuring and picking up sticks. Believers today don't need the veil , the temple, the sacrifices. Preachers are not glowing at the face from being the mediator for the congregation on Sunday mornings. He's certainly not carrying around tablets of stone and breaking them because the church laid on a concert in his absence.

And your doing it again . More false teaching .
Jeremiah is talking about ISRAEL . Context is key . You have twisted the verse for your own ends . Or you are ignorant as to recognise how to understand a verse or passage. A lot of Christians read them selves into every verse . I see you doing this repeatedly. Clumsy bible reading .

Never use a proverb for doctrine . More clumsy bible reading .

Revelation 14 . 6-7 is this now? More clumsy bible reading .
Let's stick to the text and not name call .
When reading a passage, try asking ' why , when , who , and what ? Sloppy bible study leads to heresy.

///But I am far from perfection,//// The standard is perfection. If your trying to appease God by your works and behaviour then it needs to perfect like Jesus . Fail in one point ,that's it . God is not interested in 65 % . He's only interested in the righteousness of Christ .

Grace : Titus 2 .

12Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;

Truth ?
Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
2.tim.2 15
And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.
1 john 5 .20


John 8:32 - And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

John 16:13 - Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, [that] shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.

John 14:6 - Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

John 15:13 - Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. ' serving ' rather than to be served .
1 Corinthians 13:13 - And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these [is] charity.
Now you reveal the truth about yourself Barry, who you truly are.

GOD commanded us to FEAR Him, but you HAVE NO FEAR OF GOD!

Jeremiah 5.22
22.Do you not fear Me? Says the Lord. Do you not TREMBLE before Me? I placed the sand as a boundary for the sea, a perpetual barrier that it cannot pass, though the waters toss, they cannot prevail, though they roar, they cannot pass over it.

At first I though you are some kind of psycho, but you actually godless, and this is why you so easy twisting and bending my messages and fabricate meaning that is not exist in my posts.

Well, in this case I will take you for who you are, and will treat you as the ordinary unbeliever.

In your posts you use such words as "grace" "truth" and "love." And you posted some statements from New Testament about these exceptional qualities, which are all true, but do not relate to the theme I posted.

Can you post a statement, or verse, or some passage that rejects fear of GOD or make it unnecessary. Just like I did when I posted many verses from the OT and NT revealing that FEAR OF GOD is necessity for every true Christian.

I have a couple of questions for you.

Can you define the definition of these words you often use "grace" "truth" and "love."? How these words expressing themselves in life of the Christian?

And I tell you even more, I am a living example of that the FEAR OF GOD can do to a man, it prevented me from many temptations, adultery, cheating, stealing, and many other sins and put my life on the godly track, since when I never look back.

Of course you perhaps was born a "perfect" Christian Barry, and the FEAR OF GOD not for you, you are already "perfect" and you have nothing to fear.

But I am far from perfection, but FEAR OF GOD changed my life completely. Before I do anything, first I think of GOD, how He would react on my thought, word, or action, and only then I make my decision to act.


The verse below is written about me.

Proverbs 16.6
6.”By loyalty and faithfulness iniquity is atoned for, and by the fear of the Lord one avoids evil.”


The verse below written about those who has no FEAR OF GOD, and because of it they have no knowledge of the Word of GOD, despise wisdom written in the Bible, and ignore instruction of GOD. They are called as fools, and I completely agree with that assessment.

Proverbs 1.7.28-29
7.The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, fools despise wisdom and instruction.

28.Then they will call upon me but I will not answer, they will seek me diligently but will not find me.

29.Because they hated knowledge and did not choose the fear of the Lord.




Revelation of John 14.6-7
6.Then I saw another angel flying in mid Heaven with an eternal Gospel to proclaim to those who live on the Earth, to every nation and tribe and language and people.

7.He said in a loud voice, Fear GOD and give Him glory, the hour of His judgment has come, and worship Him Who made Heaven and Earth, the sea and the springs of water.’

Fear ? Something you have no clue about , apart from legalism and a works based mind set which condemns rather than ' the goodness of God leads to repentence ' .

Hebrews 11 By faith Noah, being divinely warned of things not yet seen, moved with godly fear , prepared an ark for the saving of his household, by which he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith
. Noah was motivated by the biblical notion of ' Godly fear ' .

You clearly don't read the Old Testament.
Do you think Jesus dying for the sins of the world ,reconcilng the world and To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
has anything to do with the Difference between OT and NT ? As far as I'm aware there will be no world wide flood again, Tower of babel ect . But there will be a dramatic end of course. Not to mention the Great trib.

You clearly have not noticed God isn't exacting out punishment on Sin like in the OT today . The ground is not opening up and swallowing believers , Christians are not being killed because of murmuring and picking up sticks. Believers today don't need the veil , the temple, the sacrifices. Preachers are not glowing at the face from being the mediator for the congregation on Sunday mornings. He's certainly not carrying around tablets of stone and breaking them because the church laid on a concert in his absence.
God does not change. He is the same, yesterday, today and forever.
While we do not fear losing our position with our Father who adopted us, we do respectfully fear his discipline when we act contrary to His will as the Patriarch of the family. We represent our Father and that representative role is serious business.
To walk around, pridefully thinking we can do whatever we will and our Father won't discipline us is utterly foolish. Our fear of God is a healthy recognition of His Sovereignty over our lives. We should never be flippant about our position with God.

Is the entire world saved, Barry? Does the entire world sit back and do anything it wills because God's grace is greater than our sins? Perhaps you should re-read Romans 6 once again.
God will burn the world by fire, Barry. Read Peter's letters.

@Alex2165,
The Apostle Peter taught we should fear God, 1 Peter 2:17. The Apostle Paul wrote, 2 Corinthians 5:11, "Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; . . ." So what I would like to hear from you is what would you explain to someone as to how to know God and know for sure about when one dies one would be present with the Lord Jesus in Heaven?

Please help me understand. In saying we must fear God, does that mean we must cower before Him?

No Abba,Father for us?

" And because ye are sons,
God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts,
crying, Abba, Father."
Galatians 4:6

It must really mean "crying".

I have addressed this in my posts.
Even though I feared my father's anger if I disobeyed or misrepresented the family, yet I always knew he loved me and I called him father.
Fear and love are not polar opposites that cannot abide in unity.

This has been addressed elsewhere. You were proved wrong there. No need to discuss your false claim here.
Making a false assertion does not make it so. Romans 8:23 has not been refuted. The Apostle Paul is the sole user of that term in the NT.
