If god exists, which I doubt highly, I think he is neither loving, nor is he worthy of being feared. I do not fear You, therefor I do not fear your God. You fear me. Does that make me your God? maybe your god-in-waiting? like a lady-in-waiting...

Answer 23

He is all that you said He is. Fearing God is not the same way you feared someone and you hide when comes. He is not someone you obey because he is strong, vicious and tyrant.You follow His words because of love between you and Him and you fear the day that you may do something that may draw you away from Him. It is not that He will turn His back on you, it is you who normally turns your back on Him. Return to Him and He is there.

Answer 24

Fear means respectful. He is all loving, caring, and forgiving. I respect that.

Answer 25

None of the above.

Answer 26

Both apply to the God of the Bible. If we believe our sin is stronger than God's mercy, we insult Him. If we fail to fear God as our Judge, we cannot show Him the respect due to Him, nor can we truly humble ourselves in His presence.
