A continuous state of exceptional unhappiness and stupidity. I can't stand these people who say that on the one hand God loves you and on the other if you (or someone you don't like) does something to offend him he'll burn you in hell.
Try reading Richard Dawkins's 'The God Delusion.' Or Philip Pullman's 'His Dark Materials' trilogy. They each demonstrate that we can be good (and that goodness is good for the species) without the fear of eternal wrath to keep us in our places.
Anyone who wants God in their life should view him first and last as a source of love. Nothing else will do.

It's not that hard for as long as we believe in the Oneness of God, we have practically avoided eternal damnation for Islam teaches that the lock of Heaven is polytheism while its key is monotheism, i.e. the belief and worship of The ONE Indivisible Abrahamic God The Creator. It's this belief and God's infinite Grace and Mercy that are going to be the believers' saving grace, not our deeds. So, no need for us the believers of God to incessantly worry about Hell for God is after all The Most Gracious and The Most Merciful beyond our imagination.
Peace and Love

One selection clarification to the skill which you're feeling with him, is that should be the end result he has on maximum all and sundry he encounters if he truly is a style, sensible, grounded guy. So in that sense it ought to no longer be that distinctive. additionally, you are able to desire to make a determination approximately what you desire and approximately what's sweet for you. in line with danger it truly is a lesson from assembly him. Connections and emotions purely bypass so a protracted way. i've got had a great connection with a gentleman who ended up stealing money from me. I do accept as true with you wholeheartedly that it incredibly is maximum in all danger a waste of time to be around any man or woman who won't be in a position to be respectful of your ideals. it incredibly is looks such as you have already spoke back your self and now you purely could desire to have confidence it.

I wouldn't know now, I am washed in the blood of the Lamb.
But before I was saved, I was a very spiteful, frustrated, rage-filled person who wanted to blame everyone for my problems but me, so I imagine that's how it feels.

That is a good question for someone living without God's grace.
It is only by God's grace that one lives without such fear.
