God-fearers in ancient days were people who lived among Jews and participated in some of the Jewish traditions. Because of dietary prohibitions, Jews cannot eat in homes where food is not prepared in accordance with Jewish law, but the God-fearers ate and prepared food in the Jewish tradition in order to socialize with Jews without converting to the religion.

The term 'God-fearing' is actually another way of saying being loyal to the All Mighty(ie:Cleanliness is next to Godliness).
or ....'Let GO and Let God'

You didn't fear your dad, you were afraid of him. The word 'fear' means in awe, highly respected, appreciated......etc. Your dad was a tyrant and look what the cat dragged in.... another of it's kind.

The other word for fear is 'respect'. But yes, we understand that He is far greater than us. I'm nondenominational.
