1. AGAPE'-(UNCONDITIONAL LOVE) (AS IN: YESHUA HAS LOVED EVERY HUMAN BEING THAT GOD EVER CREATED, ENOUGH TO DIE FOR EACH ONE OF THEM, WITH NO STRINGS ATTATCHED)
2-PHILEO-(FRIENDSHIP LOVE)- (THE LOVE THAT FRIENDS SHARE)
3-STORGE'-(FAMILY/RELATIVES TYPE OF LOVE)- (MY LOVE FOR MY IMMEDIATE AND EXTENDED FAMILY RELATIVES)
4-EROS- (SEXUAL LOVE)- (HUSBAND AND WIFE'S PHYSICAL RELATIONSHIP/SEXUAL)
I PRAY THAT THIS SHEDS SOME LIGHT TO THIS THREAD. :)

I'm pretty sure #1 and #2 should swap definitions. But I could be wrong.

the definitions posted are correct for number 1 and 2.
hebrewroots98:
Dennis, the way I wrote it are the true and accurate defintions of the word 'love' in the Greek.. :)
Dennis Vogel:
I asked Ray and he said agape was the lessor but most do not know this.
Agape is a more formal type of respect/love.

hebrewroots98:
Agape has always meant the highest or 'unconditional' type of love (example: to where someone would lay down his life for another; wether stranger of a friend of Jesus.) I have NEVER heard in all of my years that there was any higher love than the UNCONDITIONAL love. Yes, AGAPE is a respectful love. Friendship is a wonderful thing, but, I would rather have the unconditional love that Jesus offers to me in order to have eternal life, than for HIM to just be my friend while in this flesh and HE do nothing to save me in the end. I understand that this is not used as often as the others, but, to me when it is used it is so much more meaningful to me. ;)
Interesting; where did Ray get his info from? I had just not heard that take on 'Agape'' before.
Dennis Vogel:
Ray says someday he will write on this subject.
