Visitations of angels almost always start off with "Don't be afraid!" because no doubt their appearance creates a natural fear response in those they appear to. That's not a bad thing on the person's part. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont really know. What do you say? I think you're right Whyme, there is a time to fear. Fear God, and nothing else... Those who fear men do not fear God. Those who fear God do not fear men.

God understands our human weaknesses. If we stay focused on God we do not need to fear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest clancy Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 I don’t believe it’s wrong, but it needs to be overcome, only God can help us overcome fear, once we recognise it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont really know. What do you say? We're not supposed to be afraid. That goes for people who are trying to walk with the Lord. People who have gone astray have things to fear, but even they can repent and walk with the Lord. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And is it not also written "There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love." So if fear is not of God then when is it ever ok? Fear of the lord is not the spirit of fear it means to be in reverent awe of His holiness, to give Him complete reverence and to honor Him as the God of great glory, majesty, purity and power.

I suspect maybe the word has different applications in the Bible all depending on the usage. Some things are right in the right situations, while wrong in others. The time I looked down and seen a rattle snake next to my leg with his rattles going I was a bit concerned. I don't understand how a person can jump from a bridge from 100ft with only pavement underneath . I would think self preservation would kick it, yet a young man just did that not three weeks ago locally here. The man who takes his pocket rocket up on the back wheel doing 90mph should maybe be thinking about what could happen if the bike goes all the way over. I don't see how anyone could overlook the the possibility they will stand in front of a being so powerful human eyes burn out looking at Him. So terribly powerful the whole of creation bows to Him. Doesn't that scare anyone even a tiny little bit? It does me. Even if I'm on good standing with Him. Fear is well warranted in certain situations. Just sayin' I have found the guys going around saying they aren't afraid of anything are the biggest cowards when something seriously scary goes down. When that tornado comes to your front door where are those gonads now cowboy? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To fear God has a very different meaning than to fear man or circumstances. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
