Luke12:4 "I tell you, my friends, don't be afraid of those who kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.
12:5 But I will warn you whom you should fear. Fear him, who after he has killed, has power to cast into Gehenna.{or, Hell} Yes, I tell you, fear him.

Fear of man stronger than fear of God, yes! It is true the fear of man is stronger than fearing an invisible God, by faith. Mankind builds God into an institutions that supports their world rather that is a world of religion or politics, it upholds their system of things found in their hearts, for good and bad.

Mankind fear of being rejected by their groups is more than being rejected by God, although, they hid in darkness by the lie, it is nevertheless true, but how? By fearing man as god, through powerful institution(s) set up by laws of their flesh, just as the nation(s) uses government through legislated laws. These same people fearing man and pleasing him are further deceived in ideology defending the ideas of their groups, what does this mean?

It means, when people fight over doctrines of the bible, right or wrong they are judging right and wrong, in doing so they believe they are more righteous than others not believing they way they do, but are they? No, they are not, it is a deception. All men are sinners and their upholding doctrine does not make them righteous, it is rather faith in Christ Jesus making us righteous. When we are deceived into group thinking by doctrine we cannot imagine we are not acceptable too God by personal efforts, but this is a lie!

We are only acceptable too God, by God's efforts, and Christ Jesus faithfulness, which is given too us in a gift of their faith. Thus, the fear of doctrine is not the fear of God, but words through man's institution(s) of their doctrine in not upholding them instead of the truth, and what is truth?

Jesus Christ, not doctrine of a group, which only leads us too Christ Jesus. However, truth and Spirit is where we stand before God's judgment seat as one person by our faith. Upholding ideology is upholding the group which has become a way of life for us in family and friends, not truth. Just like politics, it has become our system of things, craft by words too uphold our place of worship by laws of the flesh.

Just as the Jews who were deceived by good works done by the God's law; instead finding themselves the killer of the prophets, and Christ, in standing before God in a fiery end at the hands of Roman Empire, so too will be all those fearing man as God.
