After writing that I walked away.\u00a0 It felt like I was straining at gnats and still not getting to the root of what was gnawing at me.\u00a0 I did other things.<\/p>\n

When I walked to the Redbox<\/a> to satisfy my daily movie fix I had already decided to rent \u201cKilling Them Softly<\/a>.\u201d\u00a0 I didn\u2019t know why.\u00a0 I had avoided it because I heard it was excessively violent, and because I had worked for Linara<\/a> (the only woman in the cast) on another film she co-produced with her husband.\u00a0 Ordinarily, I would have run to see a movie with someone I knew in it.\u00a0 But I had overheard her talking about being topless in the scene with James Gandolfini<\/a>.\u00a0 Between the violence and my own indecision (whether I wanted to see Linara or her breasts in action) I had put it off until that evening.<\/p>\n

It was an underworld crime story set in the turmoil of the 2008 economic crisis and presidential election.\u00a0 Brad Pitt<\/a> played a mob enforcer.\u00a0 Linara\u2019s topless work had been cut, but she played well with the big boys, Pitt and Gandolfini.\u00a0 There was a heavy-handed capitalists-are-like-gangsters theme, and no real ending.\u00a0 It seemed primed for \u201cKilling Them Softly 2\u201d where the mysterious \u201ccorporate types,\u201d who hired Brad Pitt\u2019s character Jackie through an intermediary, would be revealed as they hired someone to kill Jackie, and possibly their intermediary.\u00a0 I don\u2019t think the movie did well enough financially to warrant a sequel however.\u00a0 And then I went to bed. \u00a0But when I awoke the next morning lines from the movie were buzzing around in my head. \u00a0They actually helped me clarify what I was thinking about cultivating fear in Exodus the day before.<\/p>\n

This is a spoiler alert for anyone who finds a movie ruined by knowing its story.<\/p>\n

The story got started when John Amato (aka Squirrel, Vincent Curatola<\/a>) hired Frank (Scoot McNairy<\/a>) and Russell (Ben Mendelsohn<\/a>) to rob a mob card game run by Markie Trattman (Ray Liotta<\/a>).\u00a0 They thought they could get away with it because Trattman had robbed his own card game years earlier.\u00a0 He withstood the enhanced interrogation techniques Dillion (Sam Shepard<\/a>) the enforcer used on him, but when the subject came up in another card game with his cronies he couldn\u2019t stop laughing, and confessed the whole thing.\u00a0 Everybody liked Markie so they let it slide.\u00a0 Squirrel assumed that Trattman would be the primary suspect if his own card game was robbed again, that he would be killed, and then that would be the end of it.\u00a0 He rightly perceived that cultivating a righteousness based on fear was more important to the powers-that-be than recovering the money.<\/p>\n

Squirrel had an insight into mob righteousness.\u00a0 He didn\u2019t want Russell on the job because his attitude and manner would invite confrontation.\u00a0 \u201cThen you gotta\u2026shoot somebody,\u201d he told Frank, \u201cand I don\u2019t want that.\u00a0 There\u2019s no reason for that, you know?\u00a0 You don\u2019t get any more money\u2026\u201d\u00a0 What he failed to realize was that Jackie (Dillion\u2019s replacement as mob enforcer, Brad Pitt<\/a>) was smart enough to know that Markie Trattman was too smart to think that he could get away with it twice.\u00a0 Jackie immediately suspected other culprits.\u00a0 And he had a firm grasp on fear based righteousness, too.<\/p>\n

Jackie lobbied with the Counselor (the intermediary for the corporate types running things) to kill Trattman anyway and correct the real issue:\u00a0 \u201cIt don\u2019t make a bit of difference if Trattman did it or someone did it to Trattman,\u201d Jackie explained.\u00a0 \u201cIf people think he did it and he\u2019s still walking around, you\u2019re gonna have kids waiting in line to knock them\u2026games over.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jackie even had a fear based redemption scheme for Frank.\u00a0 Frank had to confess where Squirrel would be and then witness the execution, or be executed himself.\u00a0 \u201cI got to be there and everything?\u201d Frank whined.\u00a0 \u201cFrank, you made a mistake,\u201d Jackie explained patiently.\u00a0 \u201cNow you gotta show you understand you made a mistake.\u00a0 And you gotta make things right\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

As they waited in the car for Squirrel to arrive, Frank tried to intercede for him: \u201cLook, Jackie, he\u2019s not a bad guy, you know?\u00a0 I mean, he\u2019s not a bad guy at all.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNone of them are, kid.\u00a0 They\u2019re all nice guys.\u201d<\/p>\n

Then Jackie got out of the car and shot Squirrel with a shotgun from across the parking lot, because he liked \u201ckilling them softly\u2026from a distance, not close enough for feelings.\u201d\u00a0 Of course, he did walk across the parking lot and finish the job up close.\u00a0 And he wasn\u2019t that far from Frank when he shot him in the head.\u00a0 Ultimately, Jackie\u2019s fear based redemption scheme didn\u2019t fare well against the necessities of fear based righteousness.<\/p>\n

<\/a>None of this is to say that I think God is, or was, like a mob enforcer.\u00a0 My question is, why did One with foreknowledge put Himself in the position to be mistaken for a mob enforcer by wicked people?\u00a0 (Who among us hasn\u2019t wished for God to get those guys, those evildoers, or wondered incredulously why He waits so long?)\u00a0 The answer that comes to me is that God risked it for my benefit, that I might know the difference between fear based righteousness and Holy Spirit based righteousness (faith is integral to both: When Israel saw the great power that the Lord had exercised over the Egyptians, they feared<\/i> (y\u0101r\u0113’<\/i>, \u05d5\u05b7\u05d9\u05bc\u05b4\u05d9\u05e8\u05b0\u05d0\u05d5\u05bc<\/a>) the Lord, and they believed in the Lord<\/i>\u20268<\/sup><\/a>).<\/p>\n

Israel, like Frank, was compelled to participate in and witness the destruction of the Egyptian army.\u00a0 Then at Sinai they experienced a non-lethal fear as they stood at the base of a mountain, described as something like a volcano in full ash eruption,9<\/sup><\/a> and lived to tell the tale:\u00a0 All the people were seeing the thundering and the lightning, and heard the sound of the horn, and saw the mountain smoking \u2013 and when the people saw it they trembled with fear <\/i>(n\u00fba\u02bf<\/i>, \u05d5\u05b7\u05d9\u05bc\u05b8\u05e0\u05bb\u05e2\u05d5\u05bc<\/a>) and kept their distance<\/i>.10<\/sup><\/a> \u00a0The word translated fear<\/i> here was \u03c6\u03bf\u03b2\u03b7\u03b8\u03ad\u03bd\u03c4\u03b5\u03c2<\/a> (a form of \u03c6\u03bf\u03b2\u03ad\u03c9<\/a>) in the Septuagint<\/a>.\u00a0 After Jesus calmed the storm with a word his disciples were afraid<\/i> (\u03c6\u03bf\u03b2\u03b7\u03b8\u03ad\u03bd\u03c4\u03b5\u03c2<\/a>) and amazed, saying to one another, \u201cWho then is this? \u00a0He commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him!\u201d<\/i>11<\/sup><\/a><\/p>\n

Do not fear<\/i> (y\u00e2r\u00ea\u02bc<\/i>, \u05ea\u05bc\u05b4\u05d9\u05e8\u05b8\u05d0\u05d5\u05bc<\/a>), Moses said, for God has come to test you, that the fear<\/i> (yir’\u00e2<\/i>, \u05d9\u05b4\u05e8\u05b0\u05d0\u05b8\u05ea\u05d5\u05b9<\/a>) of him may be before you so that you do not sin.\u201d<\/i>12<\/sup><\/a>\u00a0 The rabbis who translated the Septuagint<\/a> chose \u03b8\u03b1\u03c1\u03c3\u03b5\u1fd6\u03c4\u03b5<\/a> (a form of \u03b8\u03b1\u03c1\u03c3\u03ad\u03c9<\/a>) for\u00a0Do not fear<\/i>.\u00a0 It is the same Greek word Jesus used when the disciples saw Him walking on the water and were terrified that he was a ghost:\u00a0 Have courage<\/i> (\u03b8\u03b1\u03c1\u03c3\u03b5\u1fd6\u03c4\u03b5<\/a>)!<\/i>\u00a0 It is I<\/i>.13<\/sup><\/a>\u00a0 For yir’\u00e2<\/i>, \u05d9\u05b4\u05e8\u05b0\u05d0\u05b8\u05ea\u05d5\u05b9<\/a>, the fear of him<\/i>, the rabbis chose \u03c6\u03cc\u03b2\u03bf\u03c2<\/a>.\u00a0 And Zechariah, visibly shaken when he saw the angel, was seized with fear<\/i> (\u03c6\u03cc\u03b2\u03bf\u03c2<\/a>).14<\/sup><\/a><\/p>\n

<\/a>When I began this study I hoped to find a clear delineation between the fear<\/i> that puts to flight and the reverence<\/i> that binds and draws one to God.\u00a0 A cursory look at the concordance seemed to justify that hope in the words y\u00e2r\u00ea\u02bc<\/i> (\u05d9\u05b8\u05e8\u05b5\u05d0<\/a>) and yir’\u00e2<\/i> (\u05d9\u05b4\u05e8\u05b0\u05d0\u05b8\u05d4<\/a>).\u00a0 The first occurrence of yir’\u00e2<\/i> (\u05d9\u05b4\u05e8\u05b0\u05d0\u05b8\u05d4<\/a>) in Abraham\u2019s explanation to Abimelech\u2014I thought that there would be no one here who has reverence<\/i> (yir’\u00e2<\/em>, \u05d9\u05b4\u05e8\u05b0\u05d0\u05b7\u05ea<\/a>) for God<\/i>15<\/sup><\/a>\u2014was translated \u03b8\u03b5\u03bf\u03c3\u03ad\u03b2\u03b5\u03b9\u03b1<\/a> in the Septuagint<\/a> and I thought I was on the way.\u00a0 It is a compound of \u03b8\u03b5\u03cc\u03c2<\/a> and \u03c3\u03ad\u03b2\u03bf\u03bc\u03b1\u03b9<\/a>, the reverence<\/i> or worship<\/i> that is negated by the \u1f00\u03c3\u03ad\u03b2\u03b5\u03b9\u03b1\u03bd<\/a> (a form of \u1f00\u03c3\u03ad\u03b2\u03b5\u03b9\u03b1<\/a>) of people that brought the wrath of God<\/a> in Romans 1:18<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I also expected to find that the fear of the Lord was something different, something other than a conviction to act in accordance with the word of the Lord<\/a>, the functional equivalent in the Old Testament of the fruit of the Spirit<\/i>,16<\/sup><\/a> the desire and the effort <\/i>brought forth by God for the sake of his good pleasure<\/i>,17<\/sup><\/a>\u00a0 because it does not depend on human desire or exertion, but on God who shows mercy<\/a><\/i>,18<\/sup><\/a>\u00a0 and the love of God<\/i>19<\/sup><\/a> that is the fulfillment of the law<\/i>.20<\/sup><\/a>\u00a0 That equivalence took me by surprise and has colored everything.\u00a0 The Good News Translation of the Bible captured the essence of fear based righteousness when the translators (paraphrasists<\/i>?) skipped the middle man as it were in their paraphrase of yir’\u00e2<\/i>, \u05d9\u05b4\u05e8\u05b0\u05d0\u05b8\u05d4<\/a>. \u00a0Don\u2019t be afraid<\/i> (y\u00e2r\u00ea\u02bc<\/i>, \u05ea\u05bc\u05b4\u05d9\u05e8\u05b8\u05d0\u05d5\u05bc<\/a>); Moses said, God has only come to test you and make you keep on obeying <\/i>(yir’\u00e2<\/i>, \u05d9\u05b4\u05e8\u05b0\u05d0\u05b8\u05ea\u05d5\u05b9<\/a>) him, so that you will not sin<\/i>.21<\/sup><\/a><\/p>\n

So this alchemist\u2019s notion of deriving reverence<\/i> (\u03c3\u03ad\u03b2\u03bf\u03bc\u03b1\u03b9<\/a>) for God from the human fear<\/i> (\u03c6\u03cc\u03b2\u03bf\u03c2<\/a>) of death or punishment seems like a doomed enterprise from the very beginning, a folly of the religious mind.\u00a0 It was difficult enough to title an essay \u201cPaul\u2019s Religious Mind<\/a>,\u201d so I did not and will not call this \u201cGod\u2019s Religious Mind.\u201d\u00a0 But that is what I\u2019m thinking.<\/p>\n

Why would an Omniscient One with foreknowledge embark on such a futile course?\u00a0 Again, I can only assume that it was for my benefit.\u00a0 I am the one, after all (and probably not the only one), whose knee-jerk reaction to the way of righteousness (for other evildoers, of course) is swifter \u201cjustice,\u201d harsher punishment and longer prison sentences.\u00a0 But does anyone really believe that those things produce righteousness?\u00a0 (Does anyone really believe that our municipal, county, state or federal governments can afford to do this anymore?)<\/p>\n

<\/a>In that light I can\u2019t help but see the giving of the law at Sinai as a massive psychological experiment to test the power and potential of fear based righteousness.\u00a0 The finding of this particular experiment was forty days.22<\/sup><\/a>\u00a0 After forty days the descendants of Israel returned to the worship practices23<\/sup><\/a> they learned in Egypt<\/a>.24<\/sup><\/a>\u00a0 And they did this 1) after witnessing the destruction of the Egyptian army; 2) after seeing Mount Sinai<\/i>\u2026completely covered with smoke because the Lord had descended on it in fire, and its smoke went up like the smoke of a great furnace, and the whole mountain shook violently<\/i>;25<\/sup><\/a> and 3) after agreeing to abide by a covenant26<\/sup><\/a> that they would not sacrifice to a god other than the Lord alone<\/i> [or] be utterly destroyed<\/i>.27<\/sup><\/a><\/p>\n
