stay...do you really love the ocean.
It is not the same love something or love to do something
one can love to see saddam hussein execution but doesnt mean this person loves S.Hussein

yes you said it "eventually", when someone it is tortured for a long time it can create a self defence mechanism and turn that fear into "love" but that doesnt mean that both feelings exist at same time, it is just that one is turned into another for survival reasons. And even we can doubt if that love is real love or is the last stage of submission

Fear is a mental disturbance caused by the perception of instant or future danger. So, unless you're a masochist with phobophobia, my guess is no.

I have heard stories about people who are tortured eventually loving the one torturing them.

i love how beautiful the ocean looks but I would sure "fear" it if I'm swimming in it when the sky's dark with sharks around.
*EDIT* by the way, your comparing apples to oranges with the Saddam analogy

In the case of the Lord, fear is respect, so YES.

I loved my deceased father but feared
him....but only when I

otherwise I had nothing to fear from him.
much like my God.

Yes. I love God because He first love me, but I fear His power too.
