You can argue that to "Fear God" and to "Love God" are equivalent statements. But I don't think it's immediately apparent. To Fear someone is not normally understood as having the same relationship with them as Loving them.

Not really. Followers might be coerced into saying it is Love out of Fear of the Authority, but that doesn't make it Love. They might even come to actually Love the Authority. But that Love would still not equate to their Fear of him. Some people love to hate. That doesn't make their hate, love.
