Subject: How does this vs fit your view of love? |
Bible Note: Hi Tim I too finally picked up on the point of Searcher's question. I finally looked up the deeper meaning of Agape to see if in fact what we are "most often" taught regarding it is a bit flawed. When reading the definition of love put forth in Easton's Dictionary it references John 21:16,17. The first 2 times Jesus questioned Peter he uses the word Agape which proves Searcher's point that the object of such love can be towards a person or an object: RE: of persons 1. to welcome, to entertain, to be fond of, to love dearly RE: of things 2. to be well pleased, to be contented at or with a thing. Therefore I am satisfied with the point made and am in full agreement. Now I want to pose a new question: After reading the definition over and over regarding the breakdown on the words Jesus used in the 2 verses Agape and Phileo Phileo 1. to love a. to approve of b. to like c. sanction d. to treat affectionately or kindly, to welcome, befriend 2. to show signs of love a. to kiss 3. to be fond of doing a. be wont, use to do 1. Can you explain why in layman terms why Jesus used Agape twice and then finished with Phileo? 2. Why was Peter grieved when Jesus said Phileo a third time, if in his answers he used Phileo each time. I am lost in the frey.... Yours In Christ, -Kathy Also posing this to Searcher. |
