What Happened to No Fear and No Sorrow?
Matthew 8:26 says, "He said to them, "Why are you fearful, O you of little faith?" Then He got up, rebuked the wind and the sea, and there was a great calm."
This is precisely the question I would like for many Christians to ponder, particularly those that hop about the sacred stage every Sunday as they scrape in money from millions of the divinely adoring. Why are you so gosh-darn fearful? If it is not the political realm that is scaring you it is the social realm. If it isn't the social realm that frightens you it is the natural realm that shakes you to your core with tsunamis and quakes and floods and hurricanes and mudslides and sinkholes and agitating volcanoes. Why do you fear so much?
The earliest I can remember believing in Jesus and God is when I was about three. I remember when my mom gave birth to my sisters, the twins, I was happily informed that God gave me sisters. This made me so happy! I remember exactly how I felt inside and I know for sure I did not possess fear for the God I had been brought up to hold as absolute truth, love, and kindness. That changed shorty after my sisters were born. There was a plane crash in San Diego right near the Interstate 805 and a street named University.
A PSA jetliner and a smaller Cessna (or something like a Cessna) collided and consequently crashed, killing all those aboard. I remember asking if the people were able to pray to Jesus for help before they crashed? Didn't He hear them praying? Why did He let the planes crash and the people inside them to die? Didn't God love them?

I remember asking if the people were able to pray to Jesus for help before they crashed? Didn't He hear them praying? Why did He let the planes crash and the people inside them to die? Didn't God love them?
Yes. God definitely cared for the people who died, but sometimes God decides that it is someone's time to go. This was okay though. So long as the people had Jesus in their hearts God took away their fear. And those who did not have Jesus? It was too late for them. God gave them plenty of chances and they failed to act on those chances. This was shocking to me. I thought God helped everybody and everyone. I remember brooding over this. Then, right about the same time the plane crash happened the lady who lived in the apartment across the way began screaming shrilly one morning and my dad went to see what was going on.
A short time later he returned and told my mother quietly that the woman's newborn baby was deceased. The police came and I remember one of the officers trying to revive the baby by smacking it on the back as he carried the baby down the stairs. It was simply no good. The baby was dead. It was another case of God allowing something terrible to happen. But why the baby? Because sometimes that is how God accomplishes His plan, right? Sometimes people will not listen to God and then bad things happen.
The seeds of fear that had been planted grew with the ferocity of ivy on a brick wall. It was a deep and dark fear I could never shake from my mind. Then when I was about fourteen I decided that the structure of fear when it comes to God is garbage. The fear did not go away all at once, but instead eased up at a snail's pace and for many years I struggled to get out from under the ingrained blanket of fear I had been given courtesy of Christianity.
But that is Christianity in a nutshell: Fear. Fear of the atheists, pagans, heathens, anyone who believes differently. Fear of Satan consistently trying to rip the believer out of God's hands and blessing. Fear of rock music. Fear of make-up. Fear of the mighty and evil Hollywood. Fear of television and radio. The list goes on and on. The messages of fear are so rampant that they completely destroy what is supposed to be a way of life that is governed by love.
Necessity of Fear?
Favor, Protection, Control, Allowance, Separation, Glory, Riches, Salvation
The Bible mentions fear so often that a reader of the Bible often comes away from studying such with the pervasive feeling that something is terribly amiss. They are right, and not just because of the overall schmooze that God loves everyone and Jesus wants to save everyone, but also because God makes it very VERY clear that before a person can even partake fully of the supposed grace of God and salvation of Jesus that person must fear God. It is after the person's expression of fear that the love of God and Jesus begin to flow freely...not the other way around.
The First Fear
The 'first fear' is the very first ingredient of salvation and a walk with God. This first fear is not an acceptance of Jesus' salvation, but rather is the acknowledgement of the existence of God, of God's mighty power, and the acknowledgement that the power of God is so great that if He wanted He could squash you like a bug. This first fear encourages the screwy concept that while God and Jesus love everyone and desire that everyone go to God, the bottom line prerequisite for salvation is to FEAR God. There is no salvation outside of fear.
Acts 10:35 says, "But in every nation he who fears him and works righteousness is acceptable to him."
I think it is very curious that the God of the Bible does all sorts of horrible things or aids and encourages alll sorts of terrible things and even instructs horrible things BUT He is still considered mighty and just.

Acts 2:43 says, "Fear came on every soul, and many wonders and signs were done through the apostles."
This man tries very hard to explain away or redefine what fear is in relation to God.

Psalm 111:10 says, "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do His commandments: His praise endures forever."
This verse is just a nicer way to tell people that they will choose to fear God if they know what is good for them.

Psalm 33:8 says, "Let all the earth fear the Lord: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him."
God is amazingly powerful. God's power should elicit fear from all those who follow him. Who'd of thought that before all else the number one desire of God is for man to fear Him?

The Second Fear
The 'second fear' is just as interesting as its predecessor, for the purpose of second fear is to give specific examples as to what the consequences of failing to maintain a fear of God are. The penalties/consequences are always terribly disproportionate in a sadistic and cruel sense.
Luke 5:26 says, "Amazement took hold on all, and they glorified God. They were filled with fear, saying, We have seen strange things today."
Hell is a great story and its reputation as the scariest and most horrible place ever is single-handedly the greatest reason why people choose to believe in God in the first place.

Deuteronomy 28:28 says, "He will make your minds diseased, and your eyes blind, and your hearts wasted with fear."
Not only is the rage of the God of the Bible disgusting but I am sick and tired of hearing the lunatic argument (actually it isn't an argument at all since it does not contain so much as one valid point) that God loved everyone so goddamn much that He gave His Son to be slaughtered for the sins of the world. So, you had best listen up and believe in God and behave lest you find yourself the next individual to be nailed to some wood.

Deuteronomy 28:60 says, "He will send on you again all the diseases in Egypt, which were a cause of fear to you, and they will take you in their grip."
This is what God does when people refuse to believe in Him or do His bidding. The Egyptians just wouldn't listen to God...never mind that it clearly states in the biblical account that it was GOD HIMSELF who purposely hardened the hearts of the Egyptians.

Seal the Deal Fear
The 'seal the deal' fear is not only the stamp of actual eternal salvation, but it is also the fear borne out of all of the scary bullshit that the new convert has been told by the person preaching to them, and that the new convert apparently believes.
Luke 1:71 says, "...salvation from our enemies, and from the hand of all who hate us."
That's right. The fear of the Lord is His treasure. Do you know why? The ONLY way He could manage to scrape up a considerable amount of followers was to threaten them with terrors beyond their imagination.

The Empowering Fear
This is the fear of God that believers hold gives or allows them power that is not of their own origin. This power is what gives believers the strength and courage and persistence needed to preach the gospel wherever they are, and to make converts.
Hebrews 13:6 says, "So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do to me."
Don't worry about looking like a moron and sounding like a moron because GOD will give you the strength to witness so long as you fear Him.

This fear is a jumble of confusing emotional and spiritual edicts from God and often contradict the supposed love of God and Jesus Christ.
