Zone1 Do you fear G-d?

[Carl in Michigan]

People have to live life, to either prove that they are fully qualified for heaven, or like Joe Bribem, for hell

God is his judge, not you.

 

[MarathonMike]

Enough to try to not disappoint. To ask for forgiveness and mean it? Do you fear G-d more than the evil of man?

So much to uphold and so little time.

No. I think God is cool.

God does not wish his children to fear Him, Men want to make you fear Him ~S~

I have never met God so I assume you are being ephemeral

So, you and Ding have something in common. Can't read...

She read what you wrote just fine. She was pointing in a polite way that your analogy was flawed.

According to you, God doesn't want us to fear Him and men want to make us fear Him. So according to you, men are conspiring against us to control us; to keep us in line. Right?

Or is there some other reason why men want to make us fear God?

Bingo!

Why would anyone who loves their children wish them to fear them Ding? ~S~

Different conversation. Why would men conspire to control you? And how big must the conspiracy be to pull it off?

 

[sparky]

Why would men conspire to control you?

because it's the entire history of the human race Ding

Like I said... epic conspiracy.

 

[sparky]

Like I said... epic conspiracy.

ah, no that would be history ding

~S~

 

[ding]

ah, no that would be history ding

You should own your conspiracy beliefs. No matter how crazy and cynical it makes you look.

She was so far off that she fell off the cliff of comprehension. You as well.

When you use the disagree sign, I ignore it.

 

[Meriweather]

Can't read...

Do we fear our children when they do wrong?

Shrug. I simply asked if Mormon parents fear their children. What you may have missed I was talking about various deep-seated reasons why humans may develop a fear of God. This has nothing to do with human parents fearing their human children when the human children do wrong.

Perhaps you may wish to go back and re-read my post and respond to why human beings might develop a fear of God.

A GOOD human dad is not your buddy. You should even "fear" your human father

Fear God" is a phrase that refers to having a deep respect and awe for a higher power. It can also mean to submit to God's authority and live in a way that pleases God.

sorry, you're an idiot ...

back in the 50's they idolized men that drank making them more manly ... especially christians, how to keep the children in line and being the same ones who made their children go to church.

of the evils found in humanity and profoundly christian, the desert religions - paterfamilias is one of the greatest.
