Fear is a word. A word that can have many uses, meanings, depending upon context and intent. Fear is the English word used. Go back to the Greek or Hebrew, which can be very rich in meanings, compared to our poorer language.

LOL at your analysis.

"Trembling" is another word - what is your spin on it's meaning? Do people "tremble" in "fear" in some original Greek or Hebrew text at a creator they should love and respect? Resorting to obscure definitions of the word "fear" is pathetic - this entire thread is based on some screed insisting on the reality of a Hell in which people will be tortured for all eternity. And you think it's possible to reconcile this savage, medieval belief with concepts like love and respect?

LOL at your lack of analysis.
