Love Disambiguation. by oaroloye(m): 6:06pm On Jan 18, 2019 |
THE NEW TESTAMENT OF THE KING JAMES VERSION BIBLE is based on the Greek manuscripts used by the original Christians out of Antioch. . ACTS 11:26. 26. And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass that a whole year they assembled themselves with the Church, and taught much people. And the Disciples were called "Christians" first in Antioch. At the Senior Levels of Religion and Atheism are very able Bible Scholars, who know full well, that The New Testament translated ELEVEN DIFFERENT WORDS as "love." None of these words is the one which Unbelievers and Christian Novices will associate with the term "love," namely: "EROS," meaning "ROMANTIC LOVE." . EXODUS 20:1-7. AND God Spake all these Words, Saying, 2. "I am The LORD thy God, Which have brought thee out of The Land of Egypt, out of The House of Bondage. 3. "Thou shalt have no other gods before Me. 4. "Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in Heaven above, or that is in the Earth beneath, or that is in the Water under the Earth. 5. "Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the Fathers upon the Children unto the Third and Fourth Generation of them that hate Me; 6. "And shewing Mercy unto thousands of them that love Me, and keep My Commandments. 7. "Thou shalt not take The Name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh His Name in vain." THE TERM "LOVE" in The Bible does not mean the same as is used in English. In the New Testament, there are 11 different words that are blandly translated "LOVE." 1. MATTHEW 43-44,46. Αγαπαω, agapao. "LOVE" in a social, moral sense. 2. MATTHEW 6:5. . MATTHEW 23:6. Αγαπη, agape. "LOVE" in the sense of affection, benevolence. 3. MATTHEW 24:12. Φιλεω, phileo. "LOVE" in the sense of "being a friend to-" "to be fond of a person or object." 4. MARK 12:38. Θελω, thelo. To determine (as an act), to delight in, desire, to be disposed toward. 5. 1st THESSALONIANS 4:9; HEBREWS 13:1. Φιλαδελφια, philadelphia. Fond of brethren; fraternal love. 6. 1st TIMOTHY 6:10. Φιλαργυρια; philaguria. "LOVE" in the sense of "the love of money." 7. TITUS 2:4. (Love Husband.) Φιλανδρος; philandros. "LOVE" in the sense of "fond of man;" "affectionate love as a wife." 8. TITUS 2:4. (Love Children.) Φιλοτεκνος; phileteknos. "LOVE" in the sense of "fond of children;" "maternal love." 9. TITUS 3:4. Φιλανθρωπια; philantropia. "LOVE" in the sense of "fondness of Mankind;" benevolence. 10. 1st PETER 3:8. Φιλαφελφος; philadelphos. "LOVE" in the sense of "fond of brethren;" fraternal love. 11. REVELATION 3:19. Φιλεω; phileo. "LOVE" in the sense of "to be a friend to;" "to have affection for;" "personal feeling;" sentiment, duty, propriety, "kiss love." THE SOURCE of these definitions is STRONG'S EXHAUSTIVE CONCORDANCE, by James Strong, which will be recognized as authoritative in any Institute of Higher Learning. THEREFORE, ANYONE NOT CLARIFYING WHAT THEY MEAN BY "LOVE" IS EITHER IGNORANT, OR A HYPOCRITE. The Word for the type of "LOVE" that THEY MEAN: "EROS: Romantic Love," is NOT used in The New Testament. The intellectual Atheists and Christians alike ALL KNOW THIS, by definition, and are therefore DELIBERATELY DECEIVING THE LAYMEN, when they use the term "LOVE," without telling them that there are TWELVE DIFFERENT MEANINGS to the term. . JOHN 14:21-27. 21. "He that hath my Commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him." 22. Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, "Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the World?" 23. Jesus answered and Said unto him, "If a man love me, he will keep my Words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. 24. "He that loveth me not keepeth not my Sayings: and The Word which ye hear is not mine, but The Father's which sent me. 25. "These things have I Spoken unto you, being yet present with you. 26. "But the Comforter, Which is The Holy Ghost, Whom The Father will send in my Name, He shall Teach you All Things, and bring All Things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have Said unto you. 27. "Peace I leave with you, my Peace I give unto you: not as the World giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." . 1st JOHN 5:1-5. WHOSOEVER believeth that Jesus is the Christ is Born of God: and every one that loveth Him that Begat loveth him also that is Begotten of him. 2. By this we know that we love The Children of God, "WHEN WE LOVE GOD, AND KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS." 3. For this is The Love of God, "THAT WE KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS:" and His Commandments are not grievous. 4. For whatsoever is Born of God overcometh the World: and this is The Victory that overcometh the World, "EVEN OUR FAITH." 5. Who is he that overcometh the World, but he that believeth that Jesus is The Son of God? THE ONLY DEFINITION OF LOVE THAT MATTERS IS THE KEEPING OF GOD'S COMMANDMENTS.
