Who on this site believes in any dogma mostly out of fear?

Question

Fear of dying primarily or losing out on family members for eternity.

Answer 1

What's dogma? Is that like, my karma accidentally hit and killed your dogma?

As far as my relationship with Jesus goes, no, it has nothing to do with fear. I am madly in love with the One who completely loves me. I have a friend in Him, a friend who is SO incredibly real and present with me every day, that I CHOOSE to be single, so I don't have to waste ANY time with frivolous relationships. I am completely whole and happy in my relationship with Jesus Christ. Yeah, I have my personal struggles, as I live in a tough world, but I have such great hope and strength to overcome each day.

See? You made me ramble! Now put your next dogma on a leash! :0)

Answer 2

Fear is good isn't it? I think God gave us the ability to fear and so there must be a reason for it. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. I think some aspects of fear have to do with respect, for example it is my respect for fire that prevents me from holding a marshmellow between my fingers over the campfire to roast it. I fear the rejection of God's provision for my salvation would result in unthinkable consequences so I respect the actions He did on my behalf. I heard also that the thing you fear the most will be that which overcomes you, so I think it would be quite reasonable to fear God above all things, rather than someones Dog ma. I have four dogs myself but never met any of their ma's so I don't know if they are to be feared.
