    What does it mean to fear God?

    (tomwebster;59955) I don't fear God, but I reverence Him! Well thats a strong statment to make. Saying you don't fear God is the sign of a fool. I know what you mean by that statement, but still, I would never let the words "I don't fear God" leave my lips when reffering to myself.

Very good Jordan! Thats the verse I had in mind when I wrote that. Thanks.

    Any other Earths

    (jtartar;59721) univac, Since God did not tell us about any other planets with intelligent life, we cannot be sure if any exist. If we contemplate the universe, being so vast, it seems that someday God will have intelligent life on many planets. Why would God have people on just one? It is...
