    To fear God isn't being afraid of Him.
    Proverbs 1:7 says that the fear of God is the beginning of knowledge. That doesn't mean we should be afraid of Him. He is our Father, worthy of our love-- and our respect, which is the meaning of the word fear in this case.
    Fear of God means to give that heavenly Father of us all the amount of love, respect, and awe He deserves

    We aren't afraid of Him because we fear divine retribution for our sins, but love and respect Him so much we fear we will be a disappointment to Him

    In the book of Genesis, we learn that, when God looked down at humanity, his crowning achievement, he felt "hurt in His heart".
    The first time I read this, it convicted my soul.
    I, a young girl (at the time), had the power to HURT my heavenly Father
    He'd given me so much, and I didn't want to hurt Him.
    He'd given his Son as a sacrifice so that I could be forgiven for all the bad stuff I had ever done, all the bad stuff I would ever do!
    I understand what it means to fear Him.
    Not to be afraid of what He could do to me. Rather, to be in awed respect for all He is, and for all He has done--and will yet do-- for His Creation...even me, insignificant as I am.

    True what probably confused me the most is why even bother with an impeachment when you know it's a lost case from the get go

    So it lives in infamy? Because it's their job? To record who supported the insurrection? So the public is informed?

    Informed about what?

    HUH I was under the impression that the F.B.I was doing the investigation, I'm also fairly sure that they are far more competent at that than senators. (Or at least I hope so)

    While it maybe true that an impeachment is part of a senators job, we end up with the thing that confuses me being both prosecuter and judge at the same trial doesn't make sense in a democratic country with a justice system.

    This was a political investigation and trial. The FBI is doing a criminal investigation.

    The House is the prosecutor. The Senate is the jury. I forget who acted as judge, but it's up to Senators to decide guilt, and since this is a political trial -- not a criminal trial, the burden of proof is much lower.

    Normally, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court is the judge, as in trump's first impeachment. This time the judge was a senator both parties agreed on. And there was plenty of proof. The republican senators just didn't have the balls to convict. The seven republicans who did vote to convict are catching hell back home.

    Interesting, I'd say one does not exclude the other, but then again I'm no expert on US law obviously :)

    That makes a bit more sense, and is at least a better explanation of the process than anyother that I've heard, thank you for clearing that part up :)
