Fear again?

Can we please list all the passages that involve fear of some sort?

Just rip out 19 pages and call it a day.
No God, No fear.
Know God, Know fear.

This what you're looking for?

You'd have to actually read it to do that.

Actually reading The Bible is one of the leading causes of atheism.

That said, just the little concordance in the back of my NIV lists about a column of verses dealing with fear. About two-thirds of them are about fearing god (a good thing apparently) and the other third are about not fearing other things because god is with you.

I'm not quite sure what the point of quoting them would be. Perhaps the OP could clarify?
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god.  If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.

“Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.”
Master Yoda



There is nothing but fear reflected in your sword. When you dodge, you're afraid of getting killed. When you attack, you're afraid of killing someone. Even when you try to protect someone, you're afraid of letting them die. Yes, your sword speaks to me only of absurd fear. What's necessary in a fight isn't fear. Nothing can be born of that. When you dodge, "I won't let them cut me." When you protect someone, "I won't let them die." When you attack, "I will kill them."
Kisuke Urahara


"How shall I rid myself of fear?"

"How can you rid yourself of what you cling to?"

"You mean I actually cling to my fears? I cannot agree to that."

"Consider what your fear protects you from and you will agree! And you will see your folly."
Anthony de Mello


He who seeks to save humanity without understanding those who think different of him what it's really trying to save is his own ego.

"Jesus said to his disciples: 'Things that cause people to stumble are bound to come, but woe to anyone through whom they come. It would be better for them to be thrown into the sea with a millstone tied around their neck than to cause one of these little ones to stumble.'" - Luke 17:1-2

Seems to me that youtube clips and websites which selectively quote the Bible are leading causes of atheism.

That would be helpful, although the implication seems to me to be that being motivated by fear is a bad thing. Personally I disagree with that. Most mornings I'm motivated to go to work more by fear of homelessness than out of ambition or love of the work I do. My family has a roof over their heads either way.
