Well it is possible to lose your way, it doesn't take much to lose focus on God and then slowly distance yourself from him.
This apparently happened when you focused to much on your daughter and not God the devil is not above using loved ones to steal our hearts from God. A child of God doesn't need to fear hell but if one loses their way.. well honestly I don't want to talk about that. but if i may give some advice you are free to accept it or not if you are really concerned about your daughter and her well being then you need to rekindle that fire that was lost. the closer you get to God and the stronger you become in him the better off your daughter will be whether she is saved right now or not.
of course I am not one to force faith on someone and its not my place to judge you whatever you choose but as a concerned person for you and others I am simply giving my 2 cents

The fear mentioned here would mean something closer to respect than sheer terror, and regardless it doesn't say “Fear of the Lord is the beginning and end of knowledge” nor did I suggest it was, that's just the starting line. I can personally testify that through the Lord I look at, and understand the things of this world on a whole different level than I was even capable of with my carnal mind before being regenerated. See I experienced an overnight, Paul like, just like described in the Bible, regeneration. This took place in my room all by myself, not in the controlled environment of a church house where they control the atmosphere and use heavy suggestion to “convince” me I felt something and am saved. I have felt the true life changing, life giving, power of God conversion that the people that knew me and saw the change couldn’t possibly deny, and what’s more I wasn’t even looking for Jesus to help due to the fact I thought I had already done that. I also feel this is how His power has always worked, and there is very much proof it’s all true, it’s just not the proof most would even consider much less accept. I can tell you honestly I feel much more intellectually capable than I ever did as a “free thinker”, or when I only “thought” I was a Christian.
For the record I do agree with your point about getting sick by starving your mind of and repressing truth.

I did read it again per your request, and I'll just add to my post.
The bible makes a point that men are ever learning but not coming to a knowledge of God. But one can not stop their learning in favour of only learning the bible. Because learning about everything that consists in life won't be found just by reading the bible only. And if we don't learn everything we need to we won't survive.
