The word “Fear” can also be translated as “Reverance”.

That's where the downfall starts...Watering down the 'fear' of the Lord...

Heb 10:26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,
Heb 10:27 But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries. Heb 10:28 He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses:
Heb 10:29 Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant,
wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?
Heb 10:30 For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people.
Heb 10:31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

Luk 23:29 For, behold, the days are coming, in the which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the paps which never gave suck.
Luk 23:30 Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and to the hills, Cover us.

The 'fear' of the Lord to the unsaved is and should be very real...

The fear of the LORD of the saved is not the same fear of the LORD that the unsaved ought to have, but do not, because the god of this world has blinded them.

About your Post #0, be extremely careful about how you interpret and apply these Hebres 10 verses 26-31, especially regarding the very important word "if" ---

What say you that group is, the "we" to whom these verses refer?
