3 | Agape Fish? | 1 Cor 13:1 | mark d seyler | 167346 | ||
Hi Edwin, I would like to suggest a different meaning of the Greek "agape". Following are some of the occurances of "agape" in the New Testament: Thou shalt love the LORD thy God Mark 12:30 Love thy neighbor as thyself Mark 12:31 For sinners also love those that love them Luke 6:32 Woe unto you Pharisees, for you love the uppermost seats in the synagogues, and greetings in the marketplace Luke 11:43 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son John 3:16 And men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil John 3:19 The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into His hand John 8:32 For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God John 12:43 If you love Me, keep my commandments John 14:15 This is My commandment, that you love one another, as I have loved you John 15:12 For we know that all things work together for good to them that love God Romans 8:28 For Demas has forsaken me, having loved this present world I Timothy 4:10 If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him I John 2:15 Among the ones we all expect of God's love, and our love for God and each other, we also see: Pharisees love the best seats. Men loved darkness. Sinners love each other. Demas loved this world. Agape is not exclusively used of Divine or holy love. I would define Agape as "devotional love", love that causes one to be devoted to the object of that love. Just some food for thought. Love in Christ, Mark |
