it tells you that fearing God is a good thing because God is righteous.God is to be loved..... and feared.
How to be a God fearing Christian? Know who God is and what He can do. If you don't know who God is, stop talking about loving and fearing God.
... and if I may hasten to add, I am not sure if your questions (here and the other thread) are sincere.

it still does not help that you replies are frivilous at best, and sarcastic at worst.Garmen policies - "render to Caesar what is Caesar's"
No money - "The Lord who looks after the sparrows also look after your needs"
etc etc

no, because I would know that these people are suffering or dying.in YOUR CASE, all you posted are general questions without any reference to your situation, mindset, and issues.
so are you suffering or dying? or both?

not if you remember that a lot of social welfare / humanitarian agencies are church based or related to Christianitiy in one way or another.
Matt 7:1-5 tells us to evaluate carefully and choose between good and bad people . intentions (e.g. false prophets 1 John4:1). The apostle Paul even makes a judgment call and labels some people as dogs (Philippians 3:2). If bible believers don't "judge", wouldnt we be responding to all sorts of irrelevant criticisms?
Rather, i'd think in this case, it's more discernment, than 'judge'. In fact, you will find a just 3 chapters down that Jesus instructed in Matt 10:16 - be wise and discerning.
Being a relative noob to this forum, i checked up on the definition of 'troll' and observed some similarities. Here

it's not just mere bible verses. It's promising of life and contains encouragement. OR should I just say it's God's Word. :)

advanceparty does seems like s/he is courting peoples' wrath here..but however, do and think on the questions he asked..does it not bothers our daily lives as we try to cope between striving to do God's word in this wicked system and also to survive in here till armageddon.TS do have valid points that with satifying answers,will benefit all,be it an experienced christian or a new comer.
maybe when TS has started a thread, we can give in comments and give more insight in his comments but also take caution not to feed trolls.
