Vince Massi said:Like most Christian virtues and promises, the fear of the Lord is not for scorners. Proverbs 8:13 tells us "The fear of the LORD is to hate evil; Pride and arrogance and the evil way And the perverse mouth I hate."
Remember that by the fear of the Lord, men depart from evil, and that it is an elementary virtue. When you fear the Lord, you hate an evil mouth.
Now Readers, I appreciate the fact that so many of you have stuck with this thread through all the scorn. But you do realize that the fear of the Lord ends neutrality--you can learn from this thread and ignore the scorners (and the hit count shows that most of you do) but you do have to hate their evil ways if you fear the Lord.
Hey Vince did you miss in your "intensive" studies Proverbs 6:19, that God hates those who sow discord among the brethren...didn't want you to miss that as you examine your words. You're welcome!
