Assignment: the fear of the lord

1. Psalm 11: 10
The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom. Because when we have wisdom, we have all it takes to make a very good decision in all our daily endeavors.
Proverb 9:10 The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom. When we have wisdom we simply have everything so it just tells us that if we have the fear of God we have wisdom , knowledge , and understanding .when we have wisdom we are wise we know how to make decision because we have the fear of God , God works through us . 2. Proverb 29:25 The opposite of the fear of God, is the fear of man. The fear of what people like us can do to us instead of us to fear the one who is capable of doing what more than what people like us are capable of doing to us. Everyone is kind of scared of what men are capable of doing, but that is actually not suppose to scare us because all they can do to us is physical things that can also be done to them we should fear the mighty one who can kill and let live , who can give and take away , who can say Yes and say No the one who has the final say .
Matthew 10:28
The opposite of the fear of God, is the fear of people who can destroy the body. Intimidators, evil people but God can destroy both the body and the soul when we have the fear of God we have the wisdom knowledge and understanding it takes to fight against those who intimidate us .
Matthew 26:56

Luke 12: 4-7
The opposite of the fear of the lord, is the fear of the things of the world the fear of people who can only harm the body but have no power over our soul. The ultimate fear should be the fear of the God. Who can destroy both the body and the soul, the one who have the power to destroy when he choose. Not the one who can only destroy the body and they have no power over the soul. We should not fear the one that can also be destroyed but fear the one who cannot be destroyed. 3.

    I’ve read a lot of things about “fear.” There’s the fear of failing in the eyes of others, the fear of self-failure and God-failure, the fear of what other think about me, fears of an unknown future, and many practical fears about family and friends with their jobs and illnesses and relationships. While the kind of fears I normally deal with are important, the kind of fear Thurman writes about is different in its oppressive, relentless pursuit to dispossess and marginalize. The fear Thurman talks about is the concrete, real presence of political and religious powers who use their powers and religion to crush the spirits of people. He writes: “Fear is one of the persistent “hounds of hell” that dog the footsteps of the poor, the dispossessed, the disinherited… When the power and the tools of violence are on one side, the fact that there is no available and recognized protection from violence makes the resulting fear deeply terrifying.” And: “There are few things more devastating than to have it burned into you that you do not count and that no provisions are made for the literal protection of your person.” Of course not all fear is bad. God made us so to fear the tornado that spins on the horizon, heading our way. Not to fear this is not to care about friends and families. This is fear as, says Thurman, a “safety device.”…

    We're members of the animal kingdom and fear is an involuntary thing. He also believed, Socrates, “that living life consistent with the intention of understanding the immortal will result in allowing an understanding of the soul without the delusion of societal norms. Socrates states, "I want to explain to you how natural it seems to me that a man who really devoted his life to philosophy should be confident in the face of death, and hopeful of winning the greatest of prizes in the next world after death...” (2011, fall) Ordinary people seem not to realize that those who really apply themselves in the right way to philosophy are directly and of their own accord preparing themselves for dying and death. Socrates has no fear of death. Devoting his life to Philosophy and sacrificing all the normal societal desires, Socrates understands not to…

    What is fear (Rhetorical Question)? For some people its darkness for others it is demons. In the “Pit and the Pendulum” by Edgar Allan Poe there were both and much more that symbolized hell. The scariest part would be the darkness like Edgar Allen Poe said “The intensity of the dark seemed to oppress and stifle me” (Poe 563). Hell is described as being dark and having a devil and demons. Another example of the setting being like hell is when the jail cell began to heat up, “Demons eyes of a wild and ghostly vivacity glared upon me in a thousand directions” (Poe 573). Finally, all the things in this story reminded me of a hell-like area from demons and pain to darkness and confusion.…

    In pondering on the ideas of wisdom found in Proverbs, Job, and Ecclesiastes, it is apparent that each of these wisdom writings are of significant importance in order to rightfully divide the Holy Scriptures. It seems that Proverbs, Job and Ecclesiastes praise wisdom and emphasize that true wisdom is to fear the Lord. However each of these books causes the reader to take a different perspective in interpreting wisdom literature.…

    This paper will be about how fear will make you make choices based on your belief. In this country, we have the opportunity to make choices on our own because not everyone have the same belief, so therefore we do not have fear. In the stories that we read, we can see that they didn't have that opportunity because they had to follow certain beliefs. If they committed some crime they would be punished for their actions. Fear can influence decisions, beliefs, and change a person's thought whether if it's what they want for themselves or for the society.…

    Theodore Roosevelt once said, “We have nothing to fear but fear itself.” What is fear? Fear can be a noun or a verb. In the noun form, it is an unpleasant emotion caused by the belief that someone or something is dangerous, likely to cause pain, or a threat. In the verb form, it is to be afraid of someone or something that is dangerous, painful, or threatening. If one person looks into fear, then that person becomes feared. But imagine a whole society or community looking into fear. The fear not only gets larger as it spreads, but it also gets more fearful than it already is. The power of fear can be displayed in Arthur Miller’s The Crucible and in Ronald Oakley’s “The Great Fear”. As fear moves on from one mind to the next, it leaves the victim panicked and paranoid about everything that revolves around him or her. This “symptom” is known as hysteria. In The Crucible, the hysteria greatly affected the people of Salem. As well as “The Great Fear”, the whole world was in chaos and turmoil due to mass hysteria. The consequences that followed were innocent people became accused and were persecuted (affected victims), self control and limits to go out of hand (people behaved hysterically), unjustified trials and judgments or accusations to be declared (pressures), and superiors to become defied (misuse of power).…
