[Coeur de Lion]

I think you mean theophile not theophope.

Just a quick response - Coeur de Lion kindly responded to my eariler comment about not being a "Homo-phobe" but a "Theo-phobe." He suggested I go with "Theo-phile."

However, I really did mean "phobe" not "phile"...
I meant "Theo-phobe" in the sense of fearing the God Who will return someday. And tragically, sadly, judge those who hold to such vile ideology. That is a reverent fear, most certain - of a God who truly loves His creation and wants them to change their hearts and follow His wisdom. Not wishing any to perish (II Peter 3:9)! The proof is in the cross...

And then again, I must at the same time agree - while I do "fear" my Lord and His coming (for the sakes of those Who do not fear Him and disobey Him [II Thessalonians 1:8,9]), I most certainly "love" Him and His eternal wisdom as well. So, I appreciate your point. Thank you.

The fear of God is the begining of all wisdom.
