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.
