If this worshipped surpreme immortal Deity [GOD] is such a loving divine Enity, then why do millions of God's worshippers actually worship in fear?
When the word "fear" is used in the Scriptures it often means Respect, Regard, Reverence Wonder and Amazement.
The "fear" and trembling part comes into play when one is in a state of disobedience...as in a Father figure as a disciplinarian.
After all, the Bible is certainly filled with violent acts, etc.
Yes...Nature can be Violent
Why are there biblical
punishments,
There are Laws of Nature, if and when broken results in pain and suffering which Man calls Punishment.
When the Laws of Nature are obeyed results in Pleasure and Happiness which Man calls Blessings.
for disobeying God's [commandments] rules, etc? Did "God" or "Man" create these "scripted" punishments?
The Commandments are Man's understanding of Natures Laws and how best to experience (their)Blessings.
God/Nature Punishes no one or thing.
The act of disobedience carries its own retributive punishment.
Does this "Deity" really require a "Judgment Day", and for what real "explained" purpose?
I think I gave my opinion on that in another of your threads.
Or did these Theologians and Scripture Writers add this to the Bible scriptures as to further burden humans.?
The Information in Scripture is True.
Theologians explanations of it maybe expedient to their own political agenda.
Now comes the question, "Why Should God Let "You" Into Heaven?" As all of you say such a place exists.
and your answer is?
God/Nature does not let you in or prevent your entrance to Heaven.
Heaven is a State of Mind...Yours is the decision to enter in or to stay out.
Really, "where do we go from here?"
There is no There.....only Here
