Love

[Jesse2014]

Is loving God or other people just limitted to 1 Corinthians 13? I mean, I try to use 1 Corinthians as to loving God and other people without letting emotions involved. For it does not say 'love is a strong feeling of emotions of effection towards someone.' That's the world's definition. So can I love someone without feeling those strong emotions? I mean, I can be patient and kind without feelings of effections.

OK. Nobody answered.

Maybe I asked this question before. I have a nack of asking the same questions over and over again without meaning to. I have a problem with compulsion.

Or maybe it was a stupid question. I don't know. But I will ask somewhere else.

Hello friend,

From my understanding, there are 4 types of "Love"

Eros: A (don't know how to be more conservative then this, sorry) Sexual Love toward someone.

Storge(Never actually used in Scripture): A Love shown toward your family(like a parent loves a child or vice versa)...

Philia: Love of fellow man. (Having affection, kindness,etc, to a stranger.)


Agape: A "self-sacrificing" Love. A love (not by emotion) that drives you to help someone no matter the cost to yourself.

Agape is the type of love that Christ showed to us by His sacrifice. And is the Same kind of love He wants us to have and express toward Him, our beloved Bretheren, and even our enemies.

Hope I helped!

God is love there is only one kind of Love, that is from God. Those who do not have God do not know Love. they can be kind to those kind to them but they will never understand Love. That is what 1 Cor points to.
