i had a dream last night that the united states evolved into a theocracy. honestly, it scared the living hell out of me, so now i am curious as to what scares my heathen friends.
what do you fear?
note: it can be anything at all, significant or otherwise.

Wow, that is a scary dream. That is why 1984 is my book to live by. Every time I read it I remind myself how easily we could tumble off into that world.
I fear never finding my own true love. D:
I hope he/she is out there somewhere waiting for me to find them...

I would have to say my biggest fear is being forced to be someone I'm not, and then forgetting who I am.

...to be forced to be someone i'm not is something that christians need to remember when they are shoving the gospel down our throats.

Yes, it would be easier to say nothing, and let you self-destruct. But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.

fear of god should be replaced by respect of god. there is a difference. one is healthy, and the other is not--obviously.

Alright, I will. We'll see who was right. I am not afraid. But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him. All hail prophet Daisy! ;D

daisy, i suggest you look up the definition of fear, and then respect, and then open up your bible. when you read of your god and see the word 'fear' written i want you to put it in scriptural, linguistic and finally cultural context. then, i want you to tell me again, that fear of god is right.
the world of the bible and the world we live in now, and everything we know, is vastly different. you cannot hope to mirror the two worlds and expect the same outcome from different situations, etc.

It's a healthy fear! Like staying away from a hot stove kinda fear...The stove being sin and the consequences punishment.

Post by HSTN2983 on Jul 26, 2006 18:08:52 GMT -5
you cannot love a stove because it is an inanimate object. therefore, you cannot compare the two at all. try again.

Well, god is not characterized as alive because living things must die.
Therefore, god is abiotic, making him inanimate, and therefore, nothing but the matter around us.

yes and no. god is considered alive by christians, and although humans understand that all living things must die, god is not considered to be of this world.

To be honest, I love my Mother but I fear her when she gets angry. I have fist fought some of the roughest thugs in the streets before being saved and have boldly preached the gospel to some of the hardest sinners as a Christian as they verbally and physically oppose me, but I fear momma when she's angry!

no, jesse, you fear the consequences. this society teaches us that we will be imprisoned or sentenced to death for crimes against this society. do we refrain from murder because we are righteous, and/or because this nation is built upon christian standards? no, of course not, we fear punishment.
however, you respect your mother enough to abide by her rules. you fear what may happen if you do not. there is a difference.

If you will not fear God for who He is, fear God for what He does!
Mt 10:28 - Jesus said, "fear Him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell"

daisy, i suggest you look up the definition of fear, and then respect, and then open up your bible.
I suggest you stop living for self.
when you read of your god and see the word 'fear' written i want you to put it in scriptural, linguistic and finally cultural context. then, i want you to tell me again, that fear of god is right.
Proverbs 1:7-9 7 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction
Which is evident in your search for truth.
the world of the bible and the world we live in now, and everything we know, is vastly different. you cannot hope to mirror the two worlds and expect the same outcome from different situations, etc
The inward thoughts of man are the same. The time period of Bible times, does not change the message of Christ. He is the Alpha and the Omega, and is not controlled by time. You may base look upon everything through your limited knowledge of your time period. But Good and Evil has not changed.

Jesus said " I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins." And the message does not change for time......something for you to ponder on.
