I have a strong eternal relationship with Jesus Christ. I fear God...this keeps me for commiting more sins and keeping the relationship positive. Christianity is not a religion, it's a relationship and the more you fear God, the closer you will stay with Him.



If you fear God, you do not have a strong eternal relationship with him.. You have a limited Temporal relationship that ends when he either strikes you down, or you die of natural causes and realize that you didn’t understand at all what he asked of you.

So in other words, I want to ease your suspicion that I, IronBalls, maybe a fake Christian who is just rambling Bible verses. No, I am not a fake...and I believe God is scrutinizing me right now as I write this post. So, He knows if I am a liar or not...if I am a cheat or not. He knows EVERYTHING about me. I know that I will pay the severe price if I lied. So, please understand.



God is scrutinizing you, he knows if you are or aren’t a liar, he knows if you are or aren’t a cheat, and he also knows if you truly believe in him or are simply afraid of what “might” happen to you if you don’t. “God Fearing Christians” are about the fakest type there are.. They don’t understand what God has asked them to do, and they don’t truly understand the meaning of the sacrifice he made for them.

If your own father beat the shit out of you ever day and threatened to make you spend the rest of your life in a dungeon if you didn’t listen to him.. You wouldn’t have a loving, compassionate relationship with him either.. You would just do what he says for fear of the consequences.

That isn’t at all what God has asked of you.

Also, the only reason that I repetedly keep posting in these hot topics (and in many other forums in the web) is to defend my faith and because I am not afraid. Also, it would be a crime, for me as a Christian, if I held my peace.



It is a crime for you as a Christian to attempt to bring others to God through fear..

Besides, you would be far more successful if you would just explain the loving relationship one can have with God, and how he can bring joy and meaning to their lives.

I don’t fear God at all.. he knows what is in my heart.. I don’t have to make superficial attempts at pleasing him.. he isn’t striking notches in the bedpost when I tell someone about him.
