I have countered that scripture commands us to fear God with overwhelming exegetical proofs.
You have responded that fear does to mean fear so that you do not have to retreat from your conclusion. Your source is your own thinking. This is a most egregious form of eisegesis. It is rooted in no authority or foundation and so is a simply a bare assertion.
Here is a syllogism that you refuse to accept.
1) The Bible says both God is love and tells us to fear God.
2) God is not the author of confusion nor of contradiction. Conclusion:Love and fear are not antithetical but are in harmony.
An even harder one:
1) All men have volition
2) God works in those that He chose before the foundations of the world to will and to do in order that they choose to follow Him.
Therefore: Sovereign election and free will coexist in the human condition and neither negates the other.
This is a hard doctrine that the natural man finds repugnant, but then the things of God are only spiritually discerned.
1 Corinthians 2:14 14 But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
How would one know if they have spiritual wisdom to discern the things of God? Maybe they could use a test from the Bible,
"The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom" Job 28:28, Psalm 111:10, Proverbs 9:10 and 15:33.
Isiah 11:2 The Spirit of counsel and might, The Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD.
and
Isaiah 33:6 Wisdom and knowledge will be the stability of your times, And the strength of salvation; The fear of the LORD is His treasure.
2 Corinthians 5:11 Knowing, therefore, the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are well known to God, and I also trust are well known in your consciences.
Ezekiel 32:32 "For I have caused My terror in the land of the living; And he shall be placed in the midst of the uncircumcised With those slain by the sword, Pharaoh and all his multitude," Says the Lord GOD.
So the fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom. Without it one has not begun to become wise. The cruel irony is that you reject the first step of wisdom in order to deny it. Maybe that is what Paul meant when he wrote "Romans 1:22 Professing to be wise, they became fools.
