Isa 11:2 The Spirit of the LORD will rest on him (Jesus)-- the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding, the Spirit of counsel and of power, the Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD
Heb 5:7 In the days of his flesh, Jesus offered up prayers and supplications, with loud cries and tears, to him who was able to save him from death, and he was heard in that he feared.

If Jesus was God himself, he wouldn't have to offer prayers.
Quote: "Jesus offered up prayers and supplications"...
It clearly indicates that Jesus was a human and denies his divine nature, as he offered prayers and supplications as the creation is required to do, but not The Creator.
"to him who was able to save him from death"
This shows that Jesus was a mortal unlike the God and there is someone much more powerful than Jesus to whom Jesus can turn in need. Again, this refutes the claims of the divine nature of Jesus.
Fear can reflect in many aspects, however fear is not a characteristic of God. Fear is a characteristic of a creation and thus this produces another proof that Jesus was no God.
As for "the fear of the Lord", this is God's requirement upon the believers, which shows that Jesus was a believer rather than God. There is no belief without fear of God. With fear I mean observance of God's guidelines and acting in accordance with the divine revelation to obtain the mercy of God. But God knows the best...

We know that Jesus and God are one and the same and it does seem complicated to understand but I'l give it a try.We know that this life in the flesh is sin, (our thoughts and our ways lead us to rebel against God). God is perfect and can not tolerate sin but on the same side of the coin God is merciful so He sent His son Jesus as the sacrificial lamb for our sins. In the old testament when God's people were warned of God's wrath coming they killed a lamb and smeared its blood on the door to there homes and they were spared from the wrath. There sins were covered by the blood of the lamb. When Jesus was in the garden before He was seized He was sweating blood , He was fearing Gods wrath, think about that all the sins no matter how bad we commit if He chose us from before the foundation of the world to save us from hell was all bearing down on Him. He was having the same problems we have, seeing beyond the cross. Jesus was the only man in the flesh that walked the face of this earth and was not a hypocrite. He said to fear God and He practiced everything that He preached and conquered death spiritual and human. He is our teacher and saviour. I pray that I helped you with your question

Jesus was God in HUMAN form; this is not hard to understand. He was a human being, who was born of God's power, and the first to have God's spirit living within him. How many times will someone ask this question?

Aasalaamu Aleikum,
The word "fear" - "Yir'ah" holds more than one meaning.
Yir'ah also means "awe" and "reverence" and "peity" and even "religion" Except for the meaning of formal worship, this term has the same range of meaning as "Yare" to be feared"
There are thirteen occurrences of the expression "the fear of the Lord" which refers to a pious posture which performs practical functions in life.
peace

I am sure that if Jesus was present today, he would definitely fear your avatar, (do Muslims really believe that the world is obliged to adopt their beliefs no matter what?).

No, He feared nothing. I am sure Muhaamads did though he had to take up a sword to start his religion.
