Fear happens when you believe in a lie.
Satan uses fear to keep you in bondage of the lie.

Guilt happens when you believe in a lie.
Satan lies to you and says you gotta live in guilt for committing a sin, or even being tempted, when God says: "For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more."

Shame happens when you believe in a lie.
Satan lies to you and tells you to be ashamed; to keep everything secret... but without confessing your sins it's even harder to overcome.

and because of Satan's lies, we end up living in fear....




there are plenty of others lies..
for example:


"It's OK to be sexually promiscuous." for most people who are sexually promiscuous, you end up living in fear of STD's, and in turn, he (Satan) can make you feel guilty, and ashamed, which can stop you from getting help. See how Satan uses his lies to put you in fear, which in turn keeps you in bondage of the lie. It's a never-ending cycle; UNLESS; you find Jesus, and who Jesus sets free is FREE INDEED!


So what do you fear?


Examine yourself.. if we can pinpoint our fears we can pinpoint Satan's lies.

Me and my mom were having a conversation about this just last night. :eek:

I think you nailed it pretty well in your post. ^


What do I fear?
If I really knew exactly what I feared, I wouldn't fear it anymore...would I? ;)

Amen! Always keep in mind that Satan builds things up on lies!
Think about it, what is our ultimate fear?
Death?
Pain?
Hell?
Unhappiness?

With Christ you don't need to worry about any of these things, because even if you live your life in pain 24/7 Christ is with you, and he will be there for you until the very end as long as you stand with him.

and you will be hated by all for my name’s sake. But the one who endures to the end will be saved - Matthew 10:22
Then they left the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer dishonor for the name. - Acts 5:41
If in Christ we have hope in this life only, we are of all people most to be pitied. - 1 Corinthians 15:19

We have so many advantages as believers, we just need to base our lives on the word of God, and do his will.

It's the greek word "Phobos".

definition:
fear, dread, terror
that which strikes terror
reverence for one's husband


Isaiah 66:2

2 Has not my hand made all these things,
and so they came into being?”
declares the LORD.
“These are the ones I look on with favor:
those who are humble and contrite in spirit,
and who tremble at my word.

Fear happens when you believe a lie? What about if a gang member is chasing you with a knife? Fear can come from the truth, but I don't think it's helpful unlike what an evolutionist would say. One can be just as allert and full of adrenaline without fear.

Fear happens when you believe in a lie, yes.. If i'm being chased with a knife, I won't fear because I have Jesus, and death has no sting on me.

The bible says to fear God. Why do you say that is believing a lie?

It says, "trembling".
EDIT:
Additionally, if it is "fear as in respect" which is a rather low view of it, but even so, that is still fear.

Which would be as you put it,

When you post something that is not true, what should I do? Praise and encourage the spreading of things that is not true?

Jimmydiggs. It's not wrong. I never saidnot to fear God, and you know what. Take your own adVice. Work out your OWN salvation. You're a calvinist... We obviously don't agree, so you don't have to sow discord by telling everyone else they're wrong.
