I have been following the thread since it began; may I make a suggestion to read Kat’s transcript (listen to the audios) of the Nashville 2007 Conference, where several sub-topics contained in this thread were covered by Ray
2007 Nashville Conference: -post 1 at the top is (audio 6) 'THE UNIVERSE!' http://bible-truths.com/audio/Nashville07_6.mp3
-post 2 (audio 7A) 'WHO IS THE FATHER?' http://bible-truths.com/audio/Nashville07_7A.mp3
Some might not be aware of points made clear by Ray in this conference, many years ago, and will find them illuminating and helpful in refreshing what had “faded” for me. Colin

Prob 8:13 to fear the Lord is to hate evil.
Just a thought on what it means to 'fear' the Lord. There is a second witness but I can't remember where.. Psalms I think. To fear God isn't the same as hiding in the corner fearing that your dad will hit you (example). It's to hate evil. We have to be able to first discern between good and evil in order to hate evil though.
Wittenberg:
I fear the Lord because He could remove Himself from me.

Hi Wittenberg,
If you believe that, then you don't believe scripture and the reason I say that is because there is nothing that can separate US from the love of God .
Also Christ said He will never leave us.
God bless.

Psalm 104 Expanded Bible (EXB)
Praise to God Who Made the World
104 ·My whole being [T O my soul], ·praise [bless] the Lord.
Lord my God, you are very great.
You are clothed with ·glory [splendor] and ·majesty [beauty];
2
you ·wear [L wrap yourself in] light like a robe [Hab. 3:4; 1 John 1:5].
You stretch out the ·skies [heavens] like a tent [Is. 40:22].
3
You ·build your room above the clouds [L set the beams of your upper room on the waters].
You make the clouds your chariot [18:10–19; 68:4; Is. 19:1; Dan. 7:13–14; Luke 21:27; Rev. 1:7],
and you ride on the wings of the wind.
4
You make the winds your messengers,
and flames of fire are your ·servants [ministers; Heb. 1:7].
5
You ·built [founded] the earth on its foundations
so it can never be moved.
6
You covered the earth with ·oceans [L the deeps];
the water ·was above [L stood over] the mountains.
7
But at your ·command [reprimand; rebuke], the water ·rushed away [fled].
·When you thundered your orders [L At the sound of your thunder], it hurried away.
8
The mountains rose; the valleys sank.
The water went to the places you ·made [founded] for it.
9
You set borders for the seas that they cannot ·cross [pass],
so water will never cover the earth again [C as before the third day creation or during the Flood; Gen. 1:9–10; 9:9–17; Job 38:8–11; Prov. 8:29].
10
You make springs pour into the ·ravines [wadis];
they flow between the mountains.
11
They water all the ·wild animals [L creatures of the field];
the wild donkeys ·come there to drink [L quench their thirst].
12
·Wild birds [Birds of the sky/heavens] ·make nests by the water [L dwell by them];
they ·sing [L give voice] among the tree branches.
13
You water the mountains from ·above [L your high dwelling].
The earth is ·full of [or satisfied by] ·the things you made [L the fruit of your works].
14
You make the grass grow for cattle
and ·vegetables [plants] for the people to ·use [cultivate].
You make ·food [or bread] ·grow [L come out] from the earth.
15
You give us wine that ·makes happy hearts [rejoices the hearts of people; John 2:1–12]
and olive oil that makes our faces shine [C soothing skin in a dry climate; Luke 7:46].
You give us bread that gives us ·strength [sustenance].
16
The Lord’s trees ·have plenty of water [flourish];
they are the cedars of Lebanon [C the most majestic trees known], which he planted.
17
The birds make their nests there;
the stork’s home is in the fir trees.
18
The high mountains belong to the wild goats.
The rocks are ·hiding places [refuge] for the badgers.
19
You made the moon ·to mark the seasons [for appointed times; Gen. 1:14; Lev. 23:2, 4, 37, 44],
and the sun always knows when to set.
20
You make it dark, and it becomes night.
Then all the ·wild animals [L creatures of the forest] ·creep [swarm] around.
21
The lions roar ·as they attack [L for prey].
They ·look to [seek] God for food.
22
When the sun rises, they leave
and go back to their dens to lie down.
23
Then people go to work
and ·work [labor] until evening.
24
Lord, ·you have made many things;
with your wisdom you made them all [Prov. 8:22–31].
The earth is full of your ·riches [or creatures].
25
Look at the sea, so big and wide,
with creatures large and small, ·creeping [swarming] things that cannot be counted.
26
Ships travel over the ocean,
and there is Leviathan [C a sea monster and symbol of chaos; 74:14; Job 3:8; 41:1; Is. 27:1],
which you made to play there.
27
All these things ·depend [hope; wait] on you
to give them their food at the right time.
28
When you give it to them,
they gather it up.
When you open your hand,
they are ·filled [satisfied] with good food.
29
When you ·turn away [L hide your face] from them,
they ·become frightened [are terrified].
When you take away their breath,
they ·die [expire] and turn to dust [Gen. 2:7; Eccl. 12:7].
30
When you ·breathe [L send your breath/or Spirit] on them,
they are created [Gen. 2:7],
and you make the land new again.
31
May the glory of the Lord [C his manifest presence] be forever.
May the Lord ·enjoy [rejoice in] what he has made.
32
He just looks at the earth, and it ·shakes [trembles].
He touches the mountains, and they smoke.
33
I will sing to the Lord all my life;
I will ·sing praises [make a psalm] to my God as long as I live.
34
May my ·thoughts [meditations] please him;
I ·am happy [will rejoice] in the Lord.
35
Let sinners be ·destroyed [obliterated] from the earth,
and let the wicked live no longer.
·My whole being [T O my soul], ·praise [bless] the Lord.
Praise the Lord.
Proverbs 1:7
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
Proverbs 1:29
For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the Lord:
Proverbs 2:5
Then shalt thou understand the fear of the Lord, and find the knowledge of God.
Proverbs 8:13
The fear of the Lord is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.
Proverbs 9:10
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.
Proverbs 10:27
The fear of the Lord prolongeth days: but the years of the wicked shall be shortened.
Proverbs 14:26
In the fear of the Lord is strong confidence: and his children shall have a place of refuge.
Proverbs 14:27
The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death.
Proverbs 15:16
Better is little with the fear of the Lord than great treasure and trouble therewith.
Proverbs 15:33
The fear of the Lord is the instruction of wisdom; and before honour is humility.
Proverbs 16:6
By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the Lord men depart from evil.
Proverbs 19:23
The fear of the Lord tendeth to life: and he that hath it shall abide satisfied; he shall not be visited with evil.
Proverbs 22:4
By humility and the fear of the Lord are riches, and honour, and life.
Proverbs 23:17
Let not thine heart envy sinners: but be thou in the fear of the Lord all the day long.
Proverbs 29:25
The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the Lord shall be safe.
I understand that it is this fear of The Lord that starts our individual journey of discovery which ultimately leads us to His unfailing Love to all of his children.
Kind Regards.
George.
