if we don't fear God..we could sin..so we are told that we must fear Him...in some respects obviously...
but..if i tell a man ''i don't do this , i am afraid God will punish me''- the man could say.. that i am mad..meaning..some phobias..pthopaths ...
Whose name is greater on the Earth then the name of God?
Only He has the right to say who is mad and who is not.

The biblical word fear is really respect and awe and, an element of fear because of the sheer power and glory of God.

God has created, is running, and will destroy the Universe. God is the Origin and Destination of the Universe. You give your Best, God will give thy Best. Ask God for help and forgive, God will help and forgive you. Pray; Worship and Thank God for everything. Remember wherever there is Happiness in Life, there will be Sorrow. To get Happiness, you must master Sorrow. For Success in Life; Believe in Self and God, Learn from Past, Concentrate in Present, Plan for Future. Have control on, be the master of, not the slave of your body, senses, and mind. Gain and Share utmost Knowledge and Experience to differentiate and choose Right, Good, God against Wrong, Bad, Devil. Set your Desire level perfect or OK to be brave, no low to be coward, no high to be cruel. You have rights of Survival, Self Defence, and Freedom.

#1... we won't sin if we do not fear Him...
Why would you fear Him in first place???
Do you fear your best friend?? your parents??? No!!!
I'd rather get along with Him than to be afraid of Him... it's much nicer...
#2... if you say that you don't do something because you are afraid that God will punish you... is because you aren't spiritually mature enough yet in order to become responsible for your actions and thoughts... keep on the meditation...
#3... He will never... ever ever ever... say who is mad and who is not... everyone is the same for Him.

Wow, He didnt say to be afraid of him. Honour, respect, reverence Him as you would your parents or elders. Certain things you dare not say or do whether or not in the presence of your parents. Same principle applies.

This fear is called zeusophobia, which is the fear of God.

Why didn't you post this in religion??
I'm agnostic so I don't have godphobia, I have religionobia.
