  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

What Is The Fear Of God?​

"There is the convergence of awe, reverence, adoration, honor, worship, confidence, thankfulness, love, and, yes, fear." ... Some translations of the Bible sometimes replace the word "fear" with "reverence." It can also mean fear of God's judgment. —Dr. Robert B. Strimple
​

Fear (Yir'ah) Hebrew (OT)
  • Fear, terror
  • Awesome or terrifying thing (object causing fear)
  • Fear (of God), respect, reverence, piety
Fear (Phobos) Greek
  • Fear, dread, terror
  • That which strikes terror
Fear Of The Lord (Reverence Or Awe)...
  • Which is fine as far as it goes...
  • Does this definition go far enough...
  • Since the terms reverence and awe imply a place for "trembling," do most make the connection?
