I have respect for God who created all things which means He has power beyond belief and has providence over His creation. You see I believe God will keep his promises to all of mankind and in that I have a fear for those who do not know Him nor believe in the wrath He promises for those who will not accept Christ as savior and for who He is. God is limitless and so his wrath will be also. I know you don't want to hear this but God is justified in anything He chooses to do, (here it comes) because He is God. He is the supreme ruler of His creation.

You do not know what I want to hear or not. let me ask you this: Do you have any chronic illness? Hypertension , diabetes, gastrointestinal reflux? Anything more serious?
I know you want me to say that I live in trembling fear of God each day, that's what ever atheist here believes and I explained that my fear is respect for the most powerful being who has providence over His whole creation. Meaning He can do whatever He desires and would be justified in doing so. The word desire does come with who God is, something I have yet to find atheist understand.
I have gastrointestinal reflux and a chemical imbalance in my brain that sometimes causes anxiety. Why is this important to you and me being fearful of God?

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
