There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. He who feareth is not made perfect in love. You cannot understand this because you cannot understand love. Like so many others you are under the illusion that all the bible is literal and that God is evil. But which God? The bible says there are two. One who steals, kills and destroys. Who rules by fear and mind control, who enslaves and abuses whole nations.
And the creator. The God who loves. Who doesn't rule by fear but who wants all men to be free and to come to a knowledge of the truth so they can see for themselves the truth behind what is really going on.
So if you want to rule by fear and by coercion and dominate out of lack of understanding, which God would you be serving?
The God of this world.

If the world was evil and you were god what would you do? A lot of people say we are not to fear god. Sure God doesn't give his people a spirit of fear; if you are trusting in him there is nothing to fear. There were many men in the Bible who feared God because they were righteous. God is our creator. The people who do not fear god need to remember who the creator is.

You could say that love rules by fear, but it's the fear of not being loved that terrifies us. Imagine not being loved by God. Now that is terrifying.

Good question, cos you always have the fear that the love will be taken away... Personally, if you're ruling by fear, then I don't think it can be love.

Loving someone means that your whole heart is dedicated to their best interest. That is how God loves you. He wants to value you and treasure your soul. There is no fear in His love.

GOD IS LOVE
love is a force
THE FORCE IS WHAT KEEPS THIS PLACE TOGETHER
this place is where we came
WE CAME TO BE
but looking at each other was frightening
AND YOUR AVATAR SPEAKS ABOUT YOURSELF
====we are frightened
THEREFORE THERE IS FEAR
fear inside, and fear outside
AND NO MATTER WHAT
love gives birth to fear
BUT HUMANKIND ONLY HAS TO REMEMBER
that there isn't anything
NO HOPE
no tomorrow
WITHOUT A LITTLE LOVE
there won't be nothing.

God shouldn't be feared. But we should be obeying God. If we are not obeying God then we should fear for what may happen.
Btw, God loves...God is not love :)

Worship me, or I will torture you for ever. That is the basic message of Xtianity - and other religions. I challenge a theist to put it any other way!
