>God-fearing If God is a love and caring god, why do

The original Hebrew term is "yirah" which means reverence and awe. The Hebrew word for fear is "pachad". Only da goyim have "pachad" of G-d.

Man I should really stop posting when I'm tired

God of darkness.

Because "fear" is used in a sense that doesn't quite denote terror, as we use the term today. There is, in light of the Fall and sin, an element of terror of the wrath of God which man justly deserves for sin, but that's not the entirety of the notion of "fear" used in the Bible. Fear is the natural reaction of a creature before the majesty of the Creator, similar to how the citizen is to fear the magistrate. Fear is also the natural result of a finite creature before the holiness of God. Fear is also the inducement to praise and obedience of the divine Ruler of all things. Fear is, indeed, a form of dread which overcomes or banishes the terror of God, such that the one who fears God approaches Him in worship rather than shrinking away. It is a reverence. It is also the acknowledgement that God is a consuming fire, and that in His holiness it is not possible for us to stand, such that when He interacts with us, he must veil Himself in a variety of ways, either through such signs as the burning bush, or the visions of the Prophets, or the Son made flesh, or the Word inscripturated or as made visible in the Sacraments.

because his mysterious ways give him a free pass to fuck up everything, for any reason mentioned in the bible, with any possible time delay, in any way and on any scale with any collateral damage

Do you not fear and respect nature as a violent cyclone could wreck your shit with ease?
I think the fallacy here though is seeing God as a literal man in the sky which is fucking retarded.

>HURR words don't mean what they mean!

Then how do we know "love" means what we think it means, when it comes to God?

"God-fearing" should be interpreted as "In awe of God".

It means accepting that you are under the watch of a superior metaphysical being, a literal infinity to your finite self.

Do you even theology 101?

Because English language is a piece of shit, that's why, you dumb cunt.

Compared to Greek or Latin, English is a literal equivalent of communicating in grunts.
