Debate:Why should we be afraid of God? (view source)

God, as understood and accepted, is everywhere, knows everything, is all powerful, can do anything, to anyone, at anytime. So, why should God have to instil fear in humans? If God can do anything, to anyone, at anytime, why instill fear? There is nothing anyone can do about it anyway, according to that belief system. [[USer:Seekcommon]]

*Your right. Come to think of it why would God do anything. What possible purpose could his existence serve. If God is pointless then what is the point of Conservapedia? What is the point of this article?[[User:Rebiu|Rebiu]] 22:40, 10 May 2007 (EDT)

:When the Bible says things like "knew that he feared God" I think it's using archaic language indicating [[respect]] - not "[[fear]]" in the sense of terror. But that's just my own [[Universalist]] interpretation of scripture. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] 12:43, 17 April 2007 (EDT)

Certainly we should love God for all the love he shows (and has shown) us. But you have to remember that God does set a standard of living that we should try to live up to. God choose to do many things to show his justice, he threw Adam and Eve out of the garden because they choose to sin. Because God is justice we should fear him because many times we choose sin which is unjust.
