Default Re: Love? God wants us to FEAR Him! - 11-15-2013, 01:19 PM

There are two common atheist misconceptions about love:

1) Fear cancels out love.

2) Love cannot be compelled.

Both are false. The Bible says love cancels out fear.

1 Jn 4:18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.

It does not say fear cancels out love. As God's children we should love and fear our Heavenly Father just as we loved and feared our earthly fathers. Good fathers never spare the rod (Prov 23:14), and neither does God.

Heb 12:6 For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.

Now to the second misconception. Love can be compelled. God has commanded us to love Him.

Deut 10:12 And now, Israel, what doth the Lord thy God require of thee, but to fear the Lord thy God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul,

Wouldn't it be a bit silly for God to command us to love Him if commanding us to love Him meant we could never really love Him?


Mt 21:42, 44 Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes . . . ? And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.
