No matter what religion we believe.. one this what we understand here is all religions teaches us to do good things. Yes..knowing all this yet there are people does mistakes and sins its could be purposely or doing it without knowing its a wrong thing to do. But just wanna ask all of you.. do you fear GOD? Do you feel bad after realize that you did something wrong. And do you really confess it to GOD? I'm so sorry if this topic hurts your feelings.

No I do not fear my god. In my "religion" my "god" is a loving power. Fear is only in ones ego it has nothing to do with the loving power of my creator. My creator is only about love. I do believe in karma and what you do good or bad will come back to you so if there is anything to fear, fear behaving in a way that brings you bad karma.

Dear Pal, i do agree with you.. but here what i mean by "Do you Fear God" is.. are you really afraid to do wrong things.. and are you following the religions commandments. Yes God Is love.. God Loves us.. and that is why he gave us this precious life. I too know about karma.. all what you do will be back to you again.. its a life cycle

Just like anything else in life, there seems to be the good and the bad of it. I believe fear is a God given sense for us to sense danger or to caution us to rethink our pursuits in life and much more. Most of all the the bible tells us that the Fear of God is the beginning of wisdom. So I would assume by that that fear is a healthy emotion to have. The other side to that in the bible is also to say; God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and a sound mind! So that in turn would speak of the unhealthy fear that would cripple us in our drive for life!

i do not fear God. i do, however fear the absence of God in my life. if anyone fear God, then its not much of a relationship - a religion base on fear. but then again its a personal preference to choose between love of God or fear of God.

i prefer to think of it as doing what is right for the love of God and not for fear of God's punishment. a lot of people keeps saying, "God is testing me" or "God is punishing me" and the likes. WHAT IF, if God should ignore you and 'turn his back' on you, all the crap in this world happens to you because you do not have God's blessings. i somehow never did believe a God thats kind actually sits down with His/Her engineers and devise torture methods (as in Hell) or punishments as in our worldly hardships. all God had to do it ignore you and this world will do the rest.

Yes ur rite sandwedge, the fear of GOD i meant here is fear in all the wrong doings which is against the believe of your religion and of course is the LOVE of GOD. When u Love HIM.. you will have the fear when you disobey His commandments.

Thanks for your comments pal.. Confession is something very good to do.. but its it will be much better if you can confess to the person concern..that carries more weight. Anyway, yes feel sorry and guilty for what you did and ask forgiveness is good but at the same time.. do not repeat it.. GOd Loves You Always Ruowel..

i really do fear God, because he's the BOSS of everyone here on earth he owns my life and yours too.. he can change my life into mess if he wants in just a snap.. he test me through sequence of trials.. and he did provide everything i have, all of this are just borrowed to prepare us in eternity with him..

Thanks Khazeemee, first of all your name sound familiar to me.. anyway thank to post your comments. Yes God is the MASTER of this universe. God loves all of us.. and HE will never put anyone in trouble.. if ever u face some troubles in your life... well my friend.. dont blame HIM.. cos HE dont do that.. its just the reflection of your own life.. the things which you do reflect to you back. He might test your faith but GOD never put anyone in trouble.. because HE loves all of us... take this word..." TODAYS WORK IS TOMORROW'S REFLECTION"

As for my opinion , PEople need to established Fear of God so that we can escape in doing wrong. We must asked forgiveness to dear LOrd and be sincere with that because God is a forgiving god I believe that he can forgives us , when we are true our words. We must always follow the path he is creating for us, because that leads to our goodness as always. God bless to all of us and let us remain on his presence.

thanks for your comments Tines. Ye sits not just to establish fear of GOD.. cos GOD never ask us to establish that.. all HE wants us to do is simply LOVE him and follow the life which HE have show.. and be a good believer. Ask forgiveness, oh yes its really a must.. but not only to GOD but also to the concerned person too. Yes.. follow & love HIM and HE will be a great friend, guider, provider and more.. God Bless You

YES, I do fear God. Today what we are is because of our good and bad things we did. One should not think that the bread and butter he is getting is not because of his job, God has shown mercy, that's why he is getting his food. Otherwise there is no rule that if he is earning good bux he should get good food. everyone must fear God even after doing good things. Confession to God really makes a person realize that he is a human being.

Everyone has a different perspective of what we call God. He could refer to be a friend, relative, mother, listener, advisor, and the like. But whoever he may be looked after, the important is, we trust Him. And we have loved him and owed our life. It's nice to not that many are still rooted to serve God with all their hearts. We may have different callings in life. It only means that we are guided by God's power wherever we maybe placed in this world.

well there is nothing like god fearing.. we use the name of god just to satisfy our religious feelings.. god could be anyone depending upon your perspectives.. we should rather be fearing from our society in which we live because any wrong action would harm them!!!
