Pardon me. Neither you nor I know "the way it is." Because neither you nor I, nor anyone living today, has ever read "the Bible" as it was compiled.
And a reading of the Bibles we have today show us that this cannot mean to quake in fear of the one who made us.
Friend, there are many Holy Scripture in the New Covenant/Testament for Christian to 'practice' and 'abide; and 'bear much fruit' and 'your fruit shall abide' to 'fear' GOD and not men.
As it is written;
"Workout your Salvation in 'fear' and trembling."
Who are you 'representing' and 'witnessing' here when this is a CHRIST given 'Bible Discussion Forum'?
You do not have the 'fear' of GOD of JESUS, you are actually 'living' in 'lawlessness' in the 'time' of 'unmerited favor' from 'picked' and 'chose' Holy Scripture to 'suit' your 'partially' carnal/flesh/self's passions and desires 'lifestyle'.
The 'LORD' have already said about 'lukewarm' lifestyle, 'neither here or there' and HE will to 'spit' them all out unless?
Repent!
GOD the FATHER of our LORD JESUS CHRIST forgive you and bless you with 'spiritual understanding to Spiritual Word/Teaching of the New Covenant/Testament' of GOD from Heaven, through the 'spiritual Manna' who came down from Heaven, HE is the 'MESSIAH', now called LORD JESUS CHRIST, and 'HIS Kingdom will never end', as Angel Gabriel 'proclaimed the Word of GOD', to 'virgin Mary' on that 'day'.
