went to a
wedding yesterday and saw
everything i don't want in my own (someday)
wedding. i don't want:
one thing i enjoyed learning was the word
agapine, which is the type of
love that
god has for
man, and the type of
love that
jesus christ has for
god. father david says that this is the type of
love that should exist between
husband and
wife. although i am not c
hristian in the popular or traditional sense (see
Why are you not an atheist or agnostic?), i do read the bible and feel a certain
awe at the stories of the life of
jesus christ and the power of his love for people and for
god.
agapine
love is like
faith in
god... you can't prove that it exists. you can only have
faith that it does.
this is why i sometimes get
angry at people who
insult a belief in
god because there is no proof of his
existance... there's no proof for the
existance of
love, either. it's a feeling. there's no
proof that someone who says they
love you really does, you have to have
faith that they do. love for
god is a
feeling, backed by
faith that he
loves in return.
btw, i may have not spelled agapine properly. if what father david says is true, it's a greek word, one of three meaning various types of love (eros, agapine and another i didn't quite catch). if i have misspelled agapine, or if you know the third greek word for love, please /msg me in chatterbox or on #everything. thanks.
