[QUOTE="Introverted1293, post: 71615047, member: 400381"] Well, we will just have to agree to disagree on this one. I don't think that fearing God's wrath is going to cause my heart to be far from him. If that's how you feel then there's nothing I can do about that. But I believe that the fear of God is good. I actually love the fear of the Lord. But I don't think that I can make it into heaven by mere performance. It is the fear of God's wrath that causes me to call upon the name of the Lord Jesus. I believe that man is evil and that man is Worthy of death. No matter how they perform. But it is because of the fear of God's wrath that I believe in the son of man, or the son of God. Now I know that believers all have different interpretation of what scripture means. But in revelations you see angels warning people of the wrath of God and you also see Paul warning people of the wrath of God. Paul even said that it is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of an angry God. I do disagree that it is a wrong motivation to obey him out of fear. I believe that fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. Now, I know a lot of Christians say that that just means a reverence for him, but again, I don't believe that fear is redefined. I believe in what it says, the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. And the fear it is talking, about which I believe it is, is the trembling, scary feeling that you get. But I respect your opinions. [/QUOTE]
