Divine love making

Have you read or heard about the controversy surrounding the story of Jesus and Mary Magdalene were partners or actually married? There are several books that escape to this issue, including the latest bestseller, The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown. Suppose for a moment that this actually were true. Jesus was in human form and he embodied the principles of divine love or, in other words he was thus a being of love, how would a being of love making physical love? If love is the eternal nature wants to continue to give of themselves, then would it be safe to say that it is a divine being love by the sensations of the body of the pure sexuality would give when creating physical love?

What is pure sexuality of the body? The body is essentially a universe itself. Each internal and external body works in harmony with each other to ensure the survival of the system. The intelligence which the body regulates happens of course, and you do not need to think. For example: you have to tell your heart to beat? Of course not. Pure sexuality is the innocent love of knowledge in the body. The magnetic force of pure sexuality attracts the divine in another to give each quality of love this knowledge or intelligence leads the whole body while making love by the body of the sensations.

This is also referred to as making love with the divine in you and in your partner. This is how a spiritual of love makes physical love when two partners with the conscious intention to divine physical love there is no thinking is required and the love between the partners is strengthened as their vibrations were raised.

How our thinking get in the way when making love? Thoughts on the way, when certain requirements or expectations are placed on the meeting, instead of each partner in the time experiencing the wonderful sensations that naturally occur. Thoughts also get in the way when allowed to go back to other places, persons or events from the past or future fantasies during love making. When this happens, we lose the connection with the pure sexuality of the body or the divine.

Everyone has experienced Divine love making at some time or another. These are the sensational moments when we come together without thought involved. We experienced the great passion and connection with our partner through the sensations of the organs. When the love making tips, we produce the vibration of well-being and serenity that is recognizable in the presence of others. We remember these times loving and can take a long to repeat, but they cannot be recreated by thinking about them.

You cannot divine physical love making want to revisit the past because your thoughts are in the way. Divine physical love requires you to the love that you're in the moment and give of that place with no expectations or requirements. As Jesus and Mary created physical love we believe that this is how she would have exercised.

What do you think would happen if more people practiced make love this way? Practicing divine love making can heal and repair of an existing relationship or build a strong foundation in a new relationship. This may be what is needed to end the discord, pain and misery that so many suffering from today.

Man and woman have forgotten how to participate of course pure sexuality of the body to divine physical love that this ancient knowledge is buried under piles of self-absorption and self justification that mankind has practiced for thousands of years. This behaviour is the key to freedom and the greatest challenge in realizing the way to divine love

When pure sexuality is present, releases making love between man and woman energies that are stored in the bodies creating a space for love to extend that increases the vibration rates of each person. Making love is then an opportunity to grow the knowledge of love and harmony to recover. This happens through the release of the finer energies by the organs of love be exchanged during the making of love this is really a great wonder and women especially can benefit from these versions as they tend to save more emotion in their bodies than men. This can also be transformational and repair of husband and wife to their true nature or essence of the love that they are.

Practicing divine love making is as natural as breathing once we get our thoughts out of the way. The effort is located in the large undo that allow the authority of the love Commander of our lives. We can return to this wonderful state of being through practicing fair communication and our intentions with our partners to create pure. The authority of the love is ever present and available to us any time. When we consciously choose to join this presence, we begin to more divine love in our life experience. Is there anyone on Earth who would not benefit from more love in their life?

Those who choose to practice conscious divine love can make a transformation that the benefits of all their relationships through the realization of something larger than themselves experienced. This is the awesome power of the authority of love that in each of us lives.

Agapao cannot mean, "the divine, unconditional love of God"-and Phileo cannot mean, "brotherly love"

Love. This seems like an important subject area for Christianity. In fact, one could even contend it is a core element of the Christian faith. After all, the first commandment is the requirement to love God - with all our heart, mind, soul and strength (Mk 12:30). The second commandment requires us to love our neighbor as our self (Mk 12:31)! This "love" requirement covers all our vital relationships - toward self, neighbor and Creator! But the centrality of this "love doctrine" extends even further. The Bible states that love fulfills the Law (Ro 13:8-10 and Gal 5:14)! So, all the requirements of the Law of God ... are fulfilled by love?! It is evidently made up of something that has the ability to satisfy the requirements the entire Old Testament theocracy! This is worth thought, investigation and inquiry!

So, ... what is love? If we are to fulfill these commands, we need some kind of definition. How else can we know if we are meeting His requirements?

A Common Teaching

There are two New Testament Greek words often translated "love" in English. Here is a common teaching - maybe the common teaching - on the meaning of these two Greek words.

1) Agapao (verb); Agapee (noun). God is agapee (1Jn 4:8). As God Himself is agapee, and since He is divine, then it logically follows that He acts (the verb) in divine love - agapao. Agapee originates in God, and can never fail (1Cor 13:8). This is clearly the highest form of love. Therefore, many teach agapao/agapee means, "the unconditional, divine love of God." It is also taught that non-Christians are separated from this love, but at conversion, one enters into this love. But, there's more! The convert becomes more than just a simple recipient of this love from God. He/she now becomes a conduit for this "alien-to-the-world" love to flow through. With Christ in the Christian, the divine love of God can unconditionally flow toward those around the Christian. And since agapao as an act of God (unconditional and unfailing), the actions, or reactions, of the targeted object are ultimately irrelevant as this love is independent of human affectations.

2) Phileo (verb); Philos (noun). This is defined as "brotherly love," or "man's love." It is the love expressed by unsaved people. Therefore, it is a lesser form of love than the divine agapao. Ultimately, it is a self-centered type of love that does have conditions to it - even if not readily detectable. As simply a human love, it is innately fickle and can be turned on and off as situations and conditions change. The transliterated word, Philadelphia (philia + adelphphia fem.), means, "the city of brotherly love," and is often cited as an example of the meaning phileo.

This teaching sounds quite learned as it appeals to the original New Testament language. It is also quite appealing as it separates the pure and holy love of God from the fickle, corruptible affections that periodically emanate from the unsaved. This really does sound great! But the part about the Christian entering into God's divine love (agapao) upon conversion - the love the world does not know - well, that is phenomenal. And when you add that the convert can become a funnel for this divine material to flow though - spontaneously, unconditionally, even divinely - to all those around - what a rush! The only problem with this teaching ... is that it is wrong. How can I be so confident about this assertion?

I had been taught, and believed, the common teaching on the meaning of agapao and phileo (related above). It had come through Biblical scholars and was even taught in several denominations to which I had been exposed. I had no reason to doubt the accuracy of this teaching as I was just "a layman" and only knew English. And surely on such an important topic - Love - the teaching was correct. But then, I went to a Bible college. After completing my first year of "Beginners Greek," I began reading the Gospel of John - the simplest of the New Testament Greek. In describing what happened next, I will now quote directly from my Ebook, "Love and the Bible" (pages 9-11, 13, and 19).

As I started in John, everything was going along quite well. Eventually, I came to John 3:16. "For God so loved (agapao) the world, that He gave His only begotten Son..." I thought, "I know that word! That's God's love! That's the love the world is incapable of generating!" I had run across the stuff of legend! There it was - the powerful, exclusive, love from God - in all it's purity and transcendency! A love generated from the deepest recesses of the heart of our benevolent Creator projected unconditionally upon an undeserving world! I thought, "Wow! This is great!" I excitedly continued my journey through John. Then, three verses later ....

I came to John 3:19. "And this is the judgement; that the light has come into the world, and men loved (agapao) the darkness rather than the light...." It took me a second, and then I said, "Say, what?" I read the verse again. I was stunned. Even now, twenty plus years later, that moment is still frozen in time. I thought, "I did not read what I just read. This is an impossible statement. Men ... with divine love - for the darkness?! WHAT?? How can men divinely love darkness??" I saw that agapao was in the Aorist mood and active voice, so I immediately went to my lexicon to make sure it was agapao. Sure enough ... it was. In disbelief, I read it again and inserted the definition for agapao I had been taught. "... and men had a divine, unconditional love - the love of God, the love from God - FOR DARKNESS!!!" The shocking reality then struck me - "Agapao cannot mean divine love!! I have been taught error ... about love!!" Aughhhhhhh. And is there a subject more central to Christianity than Love?? I'm telling you - alarms went off everywhere! A biblical understanding of love is critical - to everything as far as Christianity is concerned! We are commanded to love God, love our neighbor, love our wife, love our children, love the brethren, love life, love His coming - love our enemies!! We are not to love money, love the chief seats, love the first place ... love is all over the place - in attitudes, behaviors, actions and reactions. "I have been taught error about ... LOVE!!!" For me, this created an emergency of the first order. But, as this Ebook is interested in your input, I would like for you to now go to a poll I have on my website. It asks:

"The information I have just been exposed to has:

1) created an emergency of the first order,

2) simply pricked my interest,

3) created no emergency at all, or

4) has done nothing, as I don't know what the heck you are talking about."

The Search for Truth Begins in Earnest!

God only has to say something one time for it to be forever true and fully empowered. But if we can find other corroborating witnesses in His word on a particular subject area, that will help us to be sure we correctly understand and represent His view on that topic. With that in mind, I immediately grabbed my Greek concordance so as to examine every use of the word agapao. The verb form appears almost 150 times in the New Testament. Here are five of them.

2Ti 4:10 "Demas, having loved (agapao) this present world, deserted me..."

2Pet 2:15 "... they (false teachers) ... followed the way of Balaam ... who loved (agapao) the wages of unrighteousness.

Jn 12:43 "For they (the Pharisees) loved (agapao) the approval of men rather than the approval of God."

Lk 11:43 "Woe to you Pharisees! For you love (agapao) the front seats in the synagogues, and (you love - agapao) respectful greetings in the market places."

Lk 16:13 "No servant can serve two masters; for he will either hate the one, and love (agapao) the other .... You cannot serve God and mammon."

There are sixteen uses of agapao/agapee in this vein. These will all be listed later.

"Ohhh ... What about phileo?"

Immediately, another word came to mind. "What about phileo? Does that mean, 'brotherly love'? Is it a human love inferior to agapao?" Within minutes, I discovered that phileo had nothing to do with brotherly love! NOTHING!! In John 5:20, Jesus stated, "For the Father loves (phileo) the Son, and shows Him all things that He Himself is doing...." In this passage, phileo is an activity between God the Father and God the Son!! This "stuff," is generated from inside God the Father and its target is God the Son! Man is completely outside the loop! I thought, "Phileo cannot mean 'brotherly love' or some second rate man's love! It can't! Furthermore, how can it be inferior to agapao when it is generated by God Himself?

So, there I stood ....

So, there I stood, six years into my Christian experience - with no idea what the Bible itself actually taught about love! What a betrayal! I had naively relied upon the integrity of those Greek "scholars" in my past - and I propagated their error - their false teaching - their heresy! And the errant material dealt with - Love! What a subject to be screwed up on! After the feelings of shock, anger, and grief ... came cool resolve. A journey was launched for me the day I ran across the statement that "men loved (agapao) the darkness rather that the light; for their deeds were evil" (Jn 3:19).

My Starting Point

While I did not know what the Bible did teach on this subject, I did know this. Agapao could not mean divine love, and phileo could not mean brotherly, or man's, love. So, I already did know more than my "teachers" knew on the subject! That encouraged me a little bit. Things could only get better - if God would grant me the wisdom, understanding and insight needed to grow into truth. So, I asked Him for that assistance. That was my starting point. If this sounds reasonable to you, maybe you could take a moment and ask the same.

Back to this Article

Here is a listing of all the "profane uses" of agapao and agapee. Plug in the common teaching's definition of "divine love," and you will see it is impossible for agapao/agapee to mean, "divine love."

Evil (or Neutral) or Non-Divine Agapao (verb) Uses:

Only loving those who love you (Mt 5:46).

Two masters - hate one and love the other - can choose agapao for money over God (Mt 6:24).

Sinners also love those that love them (Lk 6:32 - this is two uses in one breath!).

Which released debtor will love the releasing lender most? (Lk 7:42).

Pharisees love the uppermost seats and respectful greetings (Lk 11:43).

Men loving darkness (Jn 3:19).

Pharisees loving the praise of men more than the praise of God ( Jn 12:43).

Peter being asked if He loved Jesus "more than these" (Jn 21:15).

Demas having loved this present age (2Ti 4:8).

Balaam who loved the wages of unrighteousness (2Pet 2:15).

Admonition to not love the world. If one does, the love of the Father is absent (1Jn 2:15).

Not to love with word or tongue, but in deed and truth (1Jn 3:18).

Evil or Non-Divine Agapee (noun) Uses:

Love of many that grows cold (Mt 24:12).

Leaving first love (Rev 2:4).

The Bible teaches:

Agapao and Agapee are routinely expressed by man (saved and unsaved) and also by God.

Agapao (verb) displayed by God: "... for God loves a cheerful giver." 2Cor 9:7. This use can be found in dozens of other passages.

Agapao (verb) displayed by saved man: "He that loves his brother abides in the light ...." 1Jn 2:10. This use can be found in dozens of other passages.

Agapao (verb) displayed by unsaved man: "... men loved darkness rather than the light ...." Jn 3:19. Also see, Mt 5:26, Mt 6:24, Lk 6:32, Lk 7:42, Lk 7:47, Lk 11:43, Jn 12:43, 2Ti 4:10, 2Pet 2:15, 1Jn 2:15, 1Jn 3:18 and Mt 24:12. A couple of these are injunctions to Christians to direct agapao in the right direction (e.g., 1Jn 2:15 and 1Jn 3:18).

Agapee (noun) in reference to God: "God commended His love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." Ro 5:8, plus dozens of other examples.

Agapee (noun) in reference to saved man: "...and walk in love, just as Christ also loved you ...." Eph 5:2. (This is the passage where the noun and verb are not divorced - "just as Christ also loved (agapao) you!" The same stuff!

Agapee (noun) in reference to unsaved man: "And because lawlessness is increased, most people's love will grow cold" (Mt 24:12). See also Revelation 2:4.

The truth is, agapao abounds all around us, being practiced by sinners and saints alike. And it is directed towards animate as well as inanimate objects! It is practiced towards money, towards places of honor, and towards the world! Once you understand what agapao is, you will begin to recognize its presence all around you. The Bible does not list every use of expressed agapao in its pages. But it gives enough examples to set us on the trail to see its expressions and activities in this world. You see, agapao does abound - whether you see it or not, whether you understand what it is or not, or whether you are willing to acknowledge it or not. And sinners exude it in all directions as they "agapao the darkness!" (Jn 3:19).

Phileo

Here are some passages where phileo is used - and can not mean "brotherly love," or a "man's love." Plug in either definition, and you will see it is impossible for the common teaching to be correct.

The Father's love for the Son (Jn 5:20).

Jesus' love for Lazarus (Jn 11:3).

The Father's love for the disciples (Jn 16:27).

Jesus' love for John (Jn 20:2).

Jesus' love for His own (Rev 3:19).

The Bible teaches:

Phileo is routinely expressed by man (saved and unsaved) and also by God!

Phileo displayed by God: "Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline." Rev 3:19. See also Jn 5:20, Jn 11:3, Jn 11:36, Jn 16:27a, and Jn 20:2.

Phileo displayed by saved man: "Greet them that love us in the faith." Tit 3:15. See also, Jn 16:27b, Jn 21:15,16,17, and 1Cor 16:22 (a critically important use to be examined in detail later).

Phileo displayed by unsaved man: "Outside ... (is) everyone who loves and practices lying." Rev 22:15. There are seven other uses like this. See Mt 6:5, Mt 10:37 (twice), Mt 23:6, Lk 20:46, Jn 12:25, and Jn 15:19.

As you can see, it is impossible for phileo to mean, "brotherly love."

So, agapao and agapee are expressed by man (saved and unsaved), and by God. Phileo is also expressed by man (saved and unsaved), and by God! Man and God display both.

I hear many of you now asking, "So, what does agapao/agapee mean? And what does phileo mean? And why are so many 'Greek scholars' in error on what the Bible teaches about love?" Well, the intent of this Article has been to expose that agapao/agapee cannot mean, "the unconditional, divine love of God" - and that phileo cannot mean, "brotherly love." This has been done by simply quoting Bible passages that confound such definitions. Even those who have no knowledge of New Testament Greek can see these definitions are impossible - thus refuting the common teaching about biblical love. In order for you to find out what these Greek words actually do mean - and why so many "scholars" are in such tremendous error - you can find out in my free Ebook, "Love and the Bible" at my Website listed in the Author Bio. Of course ... maybe an accurate understanding of what the Bible actually does teach about love is not really that important....
