Well here goes anyway

I fear both God and Hell. God, because he could withdraw from me in a moment. Hell, because that's where I'm headed if I don't change my ways. Seriously. Yall can believe however you like. Let me break this down a little more. Right now, at this point in my life, that is how I feel. Now, if/when my life changes, I will still fear God, but in a different way. I liken it to a father/child relationship. Ya know, how, as a child, you always wanted to make your parents proud? When you did something good and you were rewarded(blessed) you felt great? And when you screwed something up you felt guilty because you let your parents down? Now I didn't worry so much about the possible punishment(Hell) but I feared the look of disappointment on my parents face. It's the same way with God/Christian relationships. As a Christian you don't worry so much about Hell but you fear letting God down. To break down the scripture that yall keep bringing into this look at it this way. Parents have been known to disown their children and never have anything to do with them again for various reasons. God also has reasons why he will "disown" his children. In both cases those children will spend the rest of their life-be it mortal or eternal-in Hell. For what it's worth, that's a sinner's perspective.
