[SIZE=+2] The Creator of everything can destroy everything. Like the soul. That is one reason to fear Him. But; only if your bad. If your listing to His Letter, then there is no reason to fear really. So the next thing that is left is to love Him. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=+2]Proverbs 9:10[/SIZE]

[SIZE=+2]King James Version (KJV)[/SIZE]

[SIZE=+2]10 The""" fear""" of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=+2]look at the word the king james translators looked at.In Hebrew [/SIZE]

[SIZE=+2]"Fear" [/SIZE]
[SIZE=+2]"yir'ah[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+2]yir-aw'[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+2]feminine of 'yare'' (3373); fear (also used as infinitive); morally, ___ reverence__ :--X dreadful, X exceedingly, fear(-fulness).[/SIZE]

[SIZE=+2]They chose the word " Fear" for this sentence which is ok. But its good to see it can be translated the other way. Reverence.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=+2]Just for a reminder of what REVERENCE means to us in English [/SIZE]

[SIZE=+2]rev·er·ence (rvr-ns)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+2]n.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+2]1. A feeling of profound awe and respect and often love; veneration. See Synonyms at honor.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+2]2. An act showing respect, especially a bow or curtsy.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+2]3. The state of being revered.[/SIZE]




[SIZE=+2]It can be tranlsated reverence . Either way. I gess depending on what side of the fence your on.Lets always reverence Our Father in Heaven.[/SIZE]

Is anyone listening to His Letter perfectly? Is anyone perfect in what they do before God? If a person is not perfect before God they should expect to be punished for the stuff that is not perfect... right?

All we have is the Lord Jesus Christ. By His Blood we are made perfect before God. Nothing else makes us right before God. We may do good works and look good before men but being in front of God is a whole different story...

When you were a child you loved your dad. But you also were a little afraid of him as well. Because your dad loved you he would punish you for doing things that would ultimately hurt you, for your own good. This punishment, correction, could be scary sometimes. You see...??

Fearing the One who has Power when you have none is perfectly natural and logical, I think.

Why fear the God of love?
Proverbs tells us that the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom...why do we fear God? What did Jesus have to say about fearing God?
Luke 12:5 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.

The consequences of sin can be most serious. We need to understand that.

All God's children is PERFECT! And according to God does HIS GOOD WORKS PERFECTLY... Exactly like Jesus did. Why do you NEVER get to the Truth? Why do you always bring Satan into speach?

Who says God's children are sinners? Satan? Does God say His children still sin AFTER HE MADE THEM A NEW CREATURE? NO! God says they are as perfect AS HE IS PERFECT! They do not need ANOTHER DROP OF BLOOD. They NEEDED THE BLOOD WHEN THEY WERE STILL SINNERS!!! But AFTER they were Justified God GLORIFIED THEM WITH HIS SEED... 1 John 3:9

Come let us go through God's Salvation process.... God sees sinner, God calls sinner... Sinner hear God's Calling, God DRAS sinner to repent from ALL SIN!... Sinner follow Holy Spirit... Holy Spirit leads TO RIGHTEOUSNESS.... Sinner repent ALL sin God forgives sin and washes sinner as PURE AS GOD IS.... Now God has to keep sinner clean and spotless and HOLY, Seperated in GOD! God Takes sinners spirit, Baptize that cleansed spirit in His Spirit, AND THERE IS THE NEW CREATURE... 1 John 5:18, Old thngs have DIED! After the blood comes the SPIRIT to REMAIN IN US, PERFECTLY!

The EX-SINNER is now transformed into the IMAGE AND LIKENESS AND FULNESS of the Saviour CHRIST JESUS... Now this EX-sinner is made ONE WITH GOD AND PERFECTLY ONE WITH ALL IN CHRIST... PERFECTLY! UNTO A PERFECT MAN - LIKE JESUS... CHILD OF GOD BORN OF GOD... 1 John 3 and 5.... And this EX-Chritian CANNOT SIN .. but keepeth HIMSELF and the wicket one CANNOT touch him... Eph 4:11 to 13.

Please can we start fighting for the PERFECT MAN GOD WANTS US TO BE.. STOP TALKING HOW SIN WILL ALWYS BE PART OF US AS LONG AS WE ARE HERE... If we say here, wee will PRISH HERE,... We should be FROM GOD AND HEAVEN.. NOT HERE!

Let us start to PROMOTE holy/perfect/God/longsuffering/righteousness/patience/peace/good works/faith/holiness/humbleness/boldness in righteousness and ALL THINGS GOOD, not focussing on the past but our EYES FIXED ON JESUS, who WILL MAKE US PERFECT HERE ON EARTH! Why? Because HE wants too!
Look at the fruits of the Spirit...THERE IS NO SIN IN THAT!!!!!
