Fear does not equal respect. Not in my book anyway. Being forced to respect someone out of fear equals repressed anger and resentment. I respect my parents and never had a fearful bone in my body.

Those of us who follow the true path of light prefer to be called Luciferian.
Hail Lucifer my brothers!
Very sad to see people still stuck with their eyes closed in Yawehs darkness.
One day your eyes will be opened for you, and you will weep at the Truth.
We will rejoice.

I see you have no knowledge of the word of God whatsoever,so please take some time researching the Bible before saying such things,He is a loving God,but he needs us to fear Him so we do not stray from the right way.
But in this age very few fear Him,and even less people love and praise Him....
You have free will,but choose your consequences wisely,i do not think i deserve eternity with Lord in heaven,but i will try my best...when you look this world with your heart,only love really matters.
With love,your brother
right so you get your info from one verse but then ignore the others? what makes one relivant and not the other?
i know the word of god better than most christians. trust me or test me i dont care
no creator would need to use fear if he was as powerful as you say..anything to do with god is the word of man.
your right not many fear him now because we wernt forced into it like generations closely before us.
if there was a god i think he would want people who didnt believe in him to go to heaven, sort of like a screening proceses. people who did believe in him proved guliability and could be easily tricked by the devil.
remember what it was like before you were born? thats what heaven is like.. some of the best insight we have into the afterlife is what we wernt even around to see.
so if only love matters why all the killing and hate and fear?
with chocolates, but i ate them brother.
edit on 5-10-2011 by UniverSoul because: (no reason given)
When you are a child you fear your mother and father, it is part of love. If you didn't fear them you would have no respect or love for them when you are older because they didn't give you the respect of keeping you from harm. When I tell my son "No" It's not because I hate him, it's because I'm trying to protect him. He will fear my judgement but respect it all the same. Can you see the understanding now.
You might have to use fear in this world to condition your child but from my point of view it is a bad action. You are building up bad Karma but you are probably giving love that balances it out. Your child will have a problem getting thru the conditioning from you and the rest of the world. But it is a evolution where the sins of the father is slowy dissapering with every generation as we become more civilized. The true god do not need fear to control me. I do what my conciess tells me because it is the right thing to do. But thats the difference with enlightning religons as new age and buddhism and Christianety from my point of view. You need fear to stay in place. I choose to do what's right and I follow god because I love him and respect him. If god was hateful, egocentered, bullying then I would stand up to him an tell him to change. God is a teacher and loves when we ask why and what. He don't want us to hide in fear but stand tall and ask why do you do like this. He always answer in his own way . But sometimes you get the answer after a log while but then all makes sense. The eternal hell that bible tells about is a lie. I will never stand for souls to be casted down in misery for all time. Do you think god is worse than me or have an ego. God is infinate, allknowing and love everything and never give up on any soul.

Wow. Was that really necessary? Can you not correct someone without running them in the ground?
