I don't like the term "God Fearing Person". God has many attributes - Love, all knowing, Righteous, omnipresent, eternal, etc... Fear is such a negative term. How about changin it to a "God Loving Person"?

I think one of the problems comes from the English language. There is only one word for "Fear". Whereas in the Chinese language (for example) there are two words for fear. One is a "good fear" or a fear of respect and submission.(like how you fear your parents when you are little kid) the other is a "bad fear" and that is a fear of control, or of power of something unknown. (like the fear of the bully at school, who will kick your a** for milk money.)[/b]
That was a poor choice of words, but that is how it is usually stated.

Maybe God knowing person would be better.
