Fear is an emotion evoked by a threat to your safety and well-being. In fact, most people do not respect what they fear - they hate what they fear. You're actually claiming that the emotion we feel toward a violent murderer with the power to end our life is the same emotion we should feel toward God. Again, you sound like you're talking about God's opposite number.

EXACTLY!

I remember in a Scriptural Word Study that the opposite meaning of “Agape” for Love is not Hate, but actually “Fear”.
