My point is that fear is not respect, it is not taking God for granted, it is not following His comandments, and fearing Him and being afraid of Him are indeed the same thing. The only fear that I could have of walking down any empty street in any neighborhood at 3 AM would be if the Lord was not with me.

"Fear of the Lord means not taking Him for granted." 

He is the only one who can grant anything everlasting, Not ignoring Him is part of Loving Him and also just plain good common sense.

Fear of the Lord is a show of faith and respect.

Faith and respect is part of Love. Abraham put his son on the alter out of respect and love. Christ put himself on the alter out of love and respect.

Fear of the Lord is following His commandments.

Also part of Love. Fear is knowing that there is no place else to turn but to the Lord and no hiding place from Him. There is no such thing as privacy and everything done in secret will be brought into the light. Knowing that every arrow sent out that finds its mark was sent out by the Lord and every drop of blood spilled the Lord spilled it.

De 32

39 'Now see that I, even I, am He, And there is no God besides Me; I kill and I make alive; I wound and I heal; Nor is there any who can deliver from My hand.

As I stated I meant no disrespect, but if you choose to take it as such, that's your business.

I simply stated you may need to study more.

If you don't accept my interpretation, fine, I'm ok with that. Do I have to accept yours before you're ok with it?

I agree, study was the wrong word. How about meditate. Meditate on Gods Word.

As for your scripture refs. What do you want me to say? Can't argue against something I agree with.

Lu 6

45 A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth evil. For out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.

Heb 4

12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

Lu 7

35 But wisdom is justified of all her children.
