In its highest form, isn't fear love? If a mother's child has run off into traffic, and she saves her child, is that not fear that her child may die, yet love for her child's life at the same time?

No.
Contrary to popular opinion Fear, not hate, is the opposite of Love.

No
What makes the mother save the child in the traffic is egoism ( fear of loosing something that she falsely thinks belong to her)
Love would be to let the child make it's own experiences with the traffic.

Not according to the word of God in 1 John 4:18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love. In your example it is love that motivates the mother to save her child.

If love and fear were one and the same, then wouldn't you also feel fear when you're, say... watching TV or eating Hot Pockets with a loved one?
(Nevermind the Hot Pockets. Fear of those things is not so unreasonable).
Or by the same logic, wouldn't education really be nervousness? Because, I mean, taking a test makes people nervous.

when u say it like that I believe there is Love and then there is Care. A mother may not find true love within their child like her husband, but of course motherhood kicks in and she has to care for her child. It's not neccesarily Love.

Are you retarded? Think about what your saying for a minute...Your talkin about two seperate issues as if they are one. If a stranger is about to get hit by a bus because they do not see the bus and you save him, do you all of the sudden love this stranger. It is human nature tonot want bad things to happen in general.Has nothing to do with fear being love. Its like a glass of milk about to fall....your going to try and catch it if you can.Doesn't mean you love that glass of milk. Stop smokin Pot
Just kiddin... Good question..Just felt like ranting ;)

On the contrary love is without fear.

Fear and love are opposites on a continuum. Fear is not trusting anything and love is trusting everything.

The Hebrew be conscious for concern has equivocal meanings. One is truly to be afraid of and the different is to revere. God is synonymous with love yet no longer in this context, Psalms 111:10 relates to epistemology, the thought of know-how, as does Prov one million:7. The coaching of Scripture is that adult adult males who do no longer revere God have not have been given any know-how or information. adult adult males have not got actual know-how till God converts them.

No. They are two different feelings. Fear can be just as closely related to hate as it can to love.
