Jude- The Fear of Others

I was just reading Jude and my reasoning for cutting short what I quoted of the verses Jude 1:22-23 "Be merciful to those who doubt; save others by snatching them from the fire; to others show mercy,..." rather than "Be merciful to those who doubt; save others by snatching them from the fire; to others show mercy, mixed with fear—hating even the clothing stained by corrupted flesh."

I wrote "I have the fear of God, not for others" and this got me thinking- I have written that the fundamental nature of the fear of God would eventually boil down to the fear of the loss of God/love. Because God is omnipotent and faithful, this fear at its limit would become a technicality, of a sort, once one truly had a heart for God, because losing God would become an impossibility, as would losing love, except for in the instance where it was truly impossible to "lose" love, at which point love would be lost by definition, for love cannot be compelled. This of course would make one choose to return to love, as their heart would immediately pull them back and there would be no impedance to the return. So, in the end, the loss of love, I reasoned, remains as a kind of loophole required for preserving love in a field of omnipotence, a kind of logic toggle or loop that becomes the sum of the fear of God.

So now I was considering the fear of others; what if this fear is meant to remain in the same way, supported logically and preserved in a similar fashion? As God is faithful, in the final arrangement, a couple with God, each loving God (perhaps as well in another sense and place, considering eep pockets here in relation to Jesus' words "you are gods") would not have the risk of losing each other either, because God would not allow for such an external force to overcome their bond. Love would be an overwhelmingly attractive force between them, even though each partner would retain a unique individuality in their partnership, and so fear of loss would once more be seen as the fear of the loss of love exclusively due to the compulsive state of love. Again this would become a foundational logical loophole, this time ensuring the love between two soulmates was unassailable and permanent, by their choosing. In this sense I would have a fear of another, and truly the amplified echoes of this fear still blare in these halls from time to time, without the certainty of that bond in hand, so this makes sense to me. I could see this same fear effect echoing in a way to all those one truly loved (family, friends, optimally enemies), and resolved in similar, ultimately fundamental, ways as well. 

Regarding the viewpoint of retaining this fear of others due to corrupt people corrupting a godly person, consider Jesus. Jesus associated with those The Law would consider unclean, and touched these "unclean" frequently, specifically for healing. It was the holiness of Jesus that transferred to the unclean, not the other way around, and this same process of cleanness transfer is referenced in the Old Testament as well. While I could see it making sense that, until one reaches this level of cleanliness, they might consider their own position not to be unassailable, and in the same way it could make sense for one to fear God more thoroughly if they do not yet have a heart for God, I am referencing a kind of final state for this timeline, one where love overwhelms to the point where the primary issue in regards to fear is how fear might persist in such a place.

It seems my statement of not fearing others was incomplete, but only when viewed in this unconventional way (the same unconventional way I have reconciled fear in the state of perfect love and omnipotence in relation to God). This feels like a thread that will tie thoroughly, once it is fathomed and stitched into place.
