A Fear of God

The fear of God.
The love of God.

For most, I feel like the phrase "I don't trust anyone who admits if some imaginary man in the sky wouldn't send them to endless pressured lakes of fire, they would be evil" and the idea of the fear of God may appear to the reader(...awkward) as two ideas that go hand in hand, or even the same idea two different ways. I'm going to challenge that with nearly every fiber of my soul now.

I have a working and healthy fear of God, as most us do believe. When I look at the role of teacher, when I look at the development they are appointed with prospering, and when I look at the tools on the belt of civil servants, what I see are human beings that have the ability to become 'god' of someone else. A teacher's words that sticks in my head years after forgetting their first name. A police officer detaining a subject for questioning placing their hand near their taser. I hope these people fear the possibility of a greater authority, even if they don't believe that greater authority does or should exist. I describe myself as having a fear of God. As I write this, I may change minds about God and God's reality, I really hope there's not a God that hates the sentiment I'm trying to share. There's so much more room, even more than this, to interpret a possibly relaxed idea of a fear of God.

I have a working and healthy love of God, as most us do believe. When I look at the deceived, and the ruled over, and when I look at the ramblings of a man who's become a 'god' truly to be feared by many, what I see is God's love. Not that the man is god. Rather, the world denies him love, and his god denies him also. And, so I search his bitter and heartbroken words for some kind of way to show him he's not alone because God's love can really break a heart open, you know? Feels good to feel heartbroken for someone who can't feel it for themselves, even better when they do feel it and no one can understand. I repeat this because at one time I was shown this. Sadly, years ago.

I would actually like to suggest that imagining someone in the sky being disappointed in the circumstance just as much as you, and doing something for an imaginary audience of One is the love of God. But, doing evil is the 'love' of the devil. Say we're walking down a road and a smelly homeless person that is known to piss over bus station seats every 6 days or so asks us if we got any change?



The devil may say,

"Doesn't it feel better to look at someone you used to be like, and tell them they are never gonna go anywhere?"

"Doesn't it feel better to ignore this, 'citizen'?"


God might say,
"Does it feel better when you can afford what you couldn't before?"

God may reveal,
"You have that $20 bill you found."
"Most people wish to help the homeless"

THEN there is:

God's fear,
"Everyone agrees, but is it right?"

God's love,
"Everyone hates, but do they understand?"



Of course $20 won't solve homelessness, but it is only the devil that will argue so harshly to protect money and status, without ever acknowledging that's his intent because the devil consistently forgets to have a healthy fear of God. The devil hates God, the idea of God, and simultaneously wishes to replace God because the DEVIL is a liar and is Evil. Homelessness continues.

He'll tell you that,though. He loves saying God doesn't exist, because it's part of his stupid plan to become God, not because the logical statement "God does exist" can be disproved. Rather, the devil just wants your little mind away from that godly idea that could threaten to reveal his plan too soon. So, "There can't be a God" is the next one he needs you to accept, which most atheists would actually disagree with. Atheists are people who look at the statement "God does exist" and just say "That's not a fact", and advocates will say "It is a false truth that causes death and generational religious trauma". Of course, I chose statements I could agree with also. Please don't let God think I'm judging atheists, and pray for me. I believe in God. Don't expect me to prove it to you, I'm not THAT devil XD

I say people of the book are not always people of God.

Simple, really.
