RE: [TruthTalk] God Fearers

[Slade Henson]

This nomenclature transferred over to the Messianic Branch of Judaism.   --slade & Kay      -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of Terry Clifton Sent: Monday, 17 January, 2005 16.40 To: TruthTalk@mail.innglory.org Subject: [TruthTalk] God Fearers Judy Taylor wrote: I enjoy God's Word - and learning the fear of the Lord is profitable all around: The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life Prov 14:27 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom Prov 9:10 The fear of the Lord will prolong your days Prov 10:27 The fear of the Lord is to hate evil Prov 8:13 (so one can speak as the oracles of God)   ========================================= Something sticks in my mind that the early Christians were called "God Fearers" Anyone have any input on that?
