Ecclesiastes 3

1To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:


2A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is

planted;


3A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;


4A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;


5A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;


6A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;


7A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;


8A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.


9What profit hath he that worketh in that wherein he laboureth?


10I have seen the travail, which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised in it.


11He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.

Roma 1

21Ito ay sapagkat kahit kilala na nila ang Diyos, hindi nila siya niluwalhati bilang Diyos, ni nagpasalamat sa kaniya. Sa halip, ang kanilang pag-iisip ay naging walang kabuluhan at ang mga puso nilang hindi nakakaunawa ay napuno ng kadiliman. 22Sa pagsasabi nilang sila ay matatalino, sila ay naging mga mangmang. 23Ang kaluwalhatian ng Diyos na walang kabulukan ay pinalitan nila ng tulad ng anyo ng taong may kabulukan. At ng mga anyo ng mga ibon, ng mga hayop na may apat na paa at ng mga hayop na gumagapang.

"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom"
(Prov. 1:7)

how can you fear and love something at the same time. that doesn't make any sense.

[Rajzh_niX]

how can you fear and love something at the same time. that doesn't make any sense.

The fear of the Lord certainly entails a profound respect for God. Moreover, in that God is a “consuming fire” (Heb 12:29), it may also involve a certain amount of trepidation that produces obedience.

The apparent contradiction here is that we are told to both love and fear God, and yet 1 John says there is no fear in love. However, fear can mean two different things. The word "fear," according to Merriam-Webster, has two present-day usages:

a.) to have a reverential awe of <fear God>
b.) to be afraid of : expect with alarm

1 Peter 2:17 and the verses listed next to it use "fear" in the first sense, as is evident from their context. For example, Psalm 33:8 says, "Let all the earth fear the LORD; let all the people of the world revere him." (And reverential awe, or profound respect, is compatible with love.) 1 John 4:18 uses "fear" in the second sense, as is also evident from context - punishment is something to be afraid of. Thus Christians are to love God and stand in awe of him, but not to be terrified of him.

A stronger case for contradiction can be made with Luke 12:5. Like 1 John 4:18, it's talking about fear of punishment, and thus is using "fear" in the same sense. However, looking at the message of both passages resolves the contradiction. In Luke, Jesus is telling "a crowd of many thousands" (Luke 12:1), which would have included both believers and non-believers, to fear God who has the ability to punish them in hell. John, apparently writing to believers, reminds them that because of God's love, "we will have confidence on the day of judgment." In other words, "perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment." Those who love God and believe in him know that he loves them and can trust in him to save them. Thus unbelievers have reason to be afraid of God; believers are not to be afraid because of their trust in God's love (fear on the part of believers is a sign of doubt or inadequate knowledge of God - "the one who fears is not made perfect in love.").

Fear or love God?
Shall we love the lord God?

Ps 34:9 "Fear the LORD, you his saints, for those who fear him lack nothing."

there's a very big difference between fear and respect.

and awe is still very different from fear.

it is already in the description of fear.....don't literally use the word FEAR as in nahadlok.....that is why the Bible is sometimes misinterpreted because it is interpretted literally....

if that should lead to misinterpretation, why can't you/they change it to "awe" instead of "fear"?

my next question is, when can you interpret the bible as literal and when as not literal?
