Derived from the scripture reading for corinthians 13:11..."When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child and I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me"

sidenote::: first i have to say this: the pictures that are meant to describe love, dont at all. people making out doesnt prove theyre in love. everyone makes out. it doesnt mean much in our modern day society so why are we using it as a symbol of something so great?

1. 3 types of love.

a.eros- "erotic"
definition: love based on physical appearance
when you eros-love someone, you give to recieve, and dont recieve. this type of love is much like lust but lust is not a type of love it is an infatuation.

2.phileo-"brotherly love"
deifinition: love based on common interests or bonds
when you phileo-love someone, its a relationship where you give to recieve.

3. agape- "unconditional love"
definition- literally translated means charity. loving someone/something on no conditions(no matter what)
when you agape-love, you give for the sake of making the other person happy. because you truly want the best for them. you have no intentions of recieving.



2. "Love is patient, love is kind.
It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps record of no wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails." - 1 Corinthians 13:4-8



3. The single most important, longed-for, wonderful, perfect emotions that are possible to feel.
"And now these three remain: faith, hope ...

A conscious, willful decision to act disinterestedly for the benefit of someone wholly other than oneself. In certain theological worldviews, especially Christianity, love takes the form of self-sacrifice and self-giving, even for those to whom one is not chemically, emotionally, nor genetically predisposed to care for(the non-family member, those to whom no sexual attraction is felt, the ugly, the outcast, the societal reject, the unloveable, even the undeserving of love). In Christian theology love occupies such a prominent place that Love is not simply conceived of as a powerful yet impersonal force, but a Person (or, rather, Relationship of Persons), as Christians assert that God Himself not only loves, but IS Love. This is powerfully expressed in the passage from Paul's first letter to the Corinthians, which attributes personal characteristics to Love (defined as "charity"), and in the Nicene doctrine of the Holy Trinity, envisioning the Holy Spirit as the Person that 'proceedeth' out of the love relationship between the Father and the Son.

love:

A feeling of unconditional affection towards someone, compounded by a feeling of deep euphoria when thinking about them.

To love someone is to trust them with your heart, because you know that they won't break it. To look into their eyes and become lost in their inexplicable beauty. To want for them to be the best person they can be, and for you to be the best you can be to match them. To strive for their happiness, above all other material needs.

Love is the greatest feeling in the world. To love, and be loved, makes all else feel unimportant. All your troubles, your worries, your cares, simply melt away.

When you find that person, the one who completes you, the world suddenly makes sense. Every little injury hurts a little less. Every sunrise seems just that much more beautiful. Every moment, your loved one occupies your thoughts; you are never truly apart.

Love knows no jealousy. No anger, held longer than applicable. No quota of wrongdoing. Love abolishes all these.

Love is not lust. They should never be held together. Lust is the desire to be linked to one's body; love is the desire to be linked to one's soul.

Sometimes, love can hurt. Sometimes, it can damage, and break, until you say I shall not love again. But love can also mend, and soothe. It can repair what once was broken, and it can bandage and prop up what has been hurt.

In the end, love cannot be described. It cannot be held up, and examined, and quantified, and studied. Love ha...

Although they are technically considered as "Christians" for following the beliefs and teachings of Christ, they are indeed not true Christians, for they have very radical beliefs and teachings compared to those of Christianity. They claim to believe in the Bible but say it can only be trusted if it is "translated" or "interpreted" correctly (very high emphasis added) which therefore indicates that they don't truly believe in it. They believe the Book of Mormon holds more authority than the Bible, although the Bible says that it's the FINAL word of God and is not to be taken away from or added to. Also many of their practices are not even found in the Book of Mormon, most of them are from other doctrines and "revelations" that their mormon prophets claimed to have.

Mormonism teaches that God has not always been God, but through obeying laws and ordinances of the Gospel he was able to progress to deity. Therefore, the god of Mormonism is a changing being. He was once a man, who then became a god. His knowledge, wisdom and power have therefore increased. Mormons believe that all faithful Mormons will progress to become deities (or God's) of their own universes and produce spirit children with their spouse in order to populate their world.

The bible reveals a very distinctive God. The true God does not change (Malachi 3:6) nor does he grow in knowledge (Isaiah 40:13). God is spirit, not an exalted man with flesh and bone (John 4:24; Luke 24:39; Hosea 11:9; Numbers 23:19...

Love is a strong attraction between 2 people that cannot be broken no matter how much it is tested.

"Love is patient; love is kind and envies no one. Love is never boastful, nor conceited, nor rude; never selfish, not quick to take offence. Love keeps no score of wrongs; does not gloat over another's sins, but delights in the truth. There is nothing love cannot face; there is not limit to its faith, its hope, and its endurance. In a word, there are three things that last forever: faith, hope, and love; but the greatest of them all is love."

1 Corinthians 13

I Couldnt have put it in better words myself.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.
—I Corinthians 13:4-8a
