I'm going to try to do Bible study everyday on my own and then tune in to a Bible teaching radio station to listen to God's Word. I'm now actually revealing that I prefer to be a dedicated Christian more than any other religion, but that's just me. The Bible says in Matthew 5 that "Blessed are the peacemakers." Basically, this says to me that we need to get along with each other even if we have unsound differences and to exercise love with each other. The Bible also categorizes different types of love, which is interesting. For example, Jesus asked Peter if he loved him; in its origin, the New Testament came from the Greeks. The Greeks express their feelings really well, so love can mean three different things. They have different words for it, but unfortunately for the English language there isn't such. Even the Japanese don't have a word that translates to love. Basically, I'm referring to brotherly love or what's commonly related to Philadelphia in the American language, which means the city of love!
To summarize, the three basic forms of love is eros, phileo, and agape love. Eros is like love you experience if you were figuratively speaking, shot by an arrow from Cupid. Phileo is pretty much love you experience towards your close family and friends. Lastly, agape love is unconditional love meaning you could do anything to the other person and that person will still love you. I guess in the form of being a master for example, if the master treats his dog like trash, the pet is still going to love its master no matter what and always be in a good mood when it sees him. Here's the crazy part, supposedly God is the master, but according to the Bible, when God sent his Son Jesus Christ, nearly everyone treated Jesus like trash and sent him to die the most painful way ever recorded in history which is crucifixion. However, Jesus still maintained his love for the world and opened up a pathway to salvation which is a very remarkable account!
