"christianity teaches christians are to fear god, and from that fear comes love for him" Being a Christian and a Catholic, this statement just isnt true. Yes, we're told to fear God's power so that we dont act like we're the shit and that we can do whatever we want. Fear, however, does not produce love and never has. Ask any Christian and they will tell you that having "fear" for God produces absolutely nothing. Just in general, "true and pure love" can only be produced from something positive, not negative. Fear is a complicated issue because people try to justify it as something negative, that creates a positive. Regardless of what you may believe or think, only someone who truly studies or participates in certain practices knows the true content of what is being discussed. Great song. Not a bad interpretation with the rest of the argument |
