Ever Loving!

Why do people say they are God fearing? You should never fear God but embrace him and accept him and he will guide you. The correct statement should be God Loving or God Embracing. God bless everyone!

Being raised as a christian, since childhood, I knew the word ‘fear’ literally as being afraid and was not taught otherwise. A few years ago I took it upon myself to read and study the bible on my own. This is when I learned (blueletterbible.com) particular words had differing meanings than I thought, according to original text. This is particularly sad that I had to do that and was not taught as a child by any religious leaders what was meant by this from its original text. Why? Ask those religious leaders. I have my theory which is why I no longer subscribe to their doctrine. God loving is now where I hang my hat. Thanks for sharing your take on this.
