Fear Of God Is Not
The Beginning Of Wisdom

The knowledge of the Truth
is the foundation of wisdom.

The foolish ones fear nothing,
and claim to be smart.

The ignorant masses do the wrong things,
and still claim to fear God.
In vain, they worship the Almighty.

To the wise men, fear only breeds more fears.
And to the wise saints, what is necessary
is not fear but the love of God.

The Knowledge Of The Truth Is The Foundation Of Wisdom.
         Today, many are busy doing the wrong things, thinking that they please God by so doing. They do so out ignorance, and persist in doing so because they think they fear God. This is not fear of God, but foolishness and self-deception. Jesus said it clearly,

8 "These people draw near to Me with their mouth,
And honor Me with their lips,
But their heart is far from Me.
9 And in vain they worship Me,
Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.'"
Matthew 15:8-9

How can the nations and their religions claim to fear God, when they are everyday busy doing the wrong things and refuse to accept corrections from the Holy Spirit?

Evidences that people neither know God nor fear Him:
  1. Majority are busy doing things contrary to what God said, even without knowing it.
  2. Out of the numerous souls that have departed from this world, only very few, and not up to 3%, have attained heaven.
  3. Many still carry corpses into the churches and holy places, which practice is an abomination.
  4. Generally, most of the everyday conducts and beliefs are against the dictate of the Holy Spirit.
  5. Even Christians do not do the teachings of Jesus. That is why Jesus says that majority of them pretend to be saintly before their religious leaders while they are inside the churches, but readily turn into wolves and demons immediately they leave the churches, temples and holy places.
  6. Majority do not know that the Ten Commandments taught in their churches are fabricated form of the original commandments written in the Bible.
  7. Many carry the Bible about without reading it, and many of those who read it misinterpret what is written in it.
So:
  1. How can the world claim to fear God, when they are everyday heedlessly disobeying God’s commandments?
  2. How can the religious leaders claim to know the Truth about God and life, when their teachings are different and even contradictory?
  3. How can the religious leaders claim to teach the fear of God, when they are the blind guides misleading people away from God?
  4. How can the churches claim to be the houses of God, when they are the prisons that prevent people from seeking and knowing the Truth?
  5. How can the parents believe that their children are learning the ear of God, when the parents neither fear God nor show interest in religious activities?
  6. How can government leaders say that the society is developing, when the leaders fail to censor video and film industry, who are busy everyday pouring all kinds of evil films into the society, planting the seeds of iniquities in the hearts and mind of the youths and children, who are the future leaders?
  7. How can scientist pride themselves of their achievements, when they foolishly neglect the most important science called Spiritual Science?
  8. How can individuals claim to fear God, when they are not ready to hear the messages sent by God to them?
  9. How can the religious ones claim to fear God, when they hate everything that is of God? That is why I describe them like the parable of the misguided child, who went in search of his father, an honest man, but on finding him called the father an enemy and would not enter the man’s house.
  10. How can they claim to live a holy life, when they are everyday living in and enjoying idolatry? Observe the environments, and see so many shrines, idols and unholy practices, which are abominations to the Lord, the very things God commanded His people to eradicate?
  11. How can they claim to fear God, when the video industry is pouring all kinds of evil films into the society, and people keep themselves entertained by washing the atrocitiies?
Indeed, most of the religious leaders are busy deceiving themselves and as well misleading the ignorant masses. And what people now call fear of God is the false imaginations of their own hearts, which are the illusions of the world and the delusions of ignorance.
