Fear Versus Love

I am astounded at religious requirements people will obey even though they would rather not perform them. Millions of women around the world submit to being treated as inferiors to males, and are subservient to them, even to the point of being their chattel. Millions of men and women around the world confess their most private sins to a priesthood notorious for its immorality and pedophilia in the hope of receiving absolution from the perverts. Many professing Christians submit to a practice called “Shepherding” in which their ministers exercise authority and control over personal, familial, and financial matters and conduct. Some even consent to strap explosive devices to their bodies which are detonated in crowded places in acts of suicide-murder.

Why would religionists compel themselves to be so compliant to such overbearing authoritarianism? Fear! For the sake of religion and in its name, adherents of it will endure present torments of soul in the hope of future blessing. And many of them are dissuaded from departing their religion by the fear of torments of bodily harm, which often is the punishment religion inflicts upon apostates. And they especially fear death.

How different is the Way of Christ! “And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love .... There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love” (1 John 4:16-18). God did “grant us that we, being delivered from the hand of our enemies [e.g., manmade religion], might serve Him without fear, in holiness and righteousness before Him all the days of our life” (Luke 1:74f). “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind” (2 Timothy 1:7). “For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, ‘Abba, Father’” (Romans 8:15). Jehovah therefore repeatedly tells His people, “Fear not” (e.g., Isaiah 43:1-7).

Slaves fear. The liberated love.
