Due gratitude and reverence to God.

Cupid, the god of love; sometimes, Venus.

A very common human emotion. A super-intelligent sentient being who designs and creates universes (e.g. "God is Love"). Usage note: Although apparently two quite different definitions, it is common to switch from one to the other without offering a reason. Anyone who disagrees with 2) is branded immediately as incapable of experiencing 1).

See Agapism Ethics of mysticism; Love, law and Agapism

God's high esteem for His children and ours for Him and others (Gk: agape, divine love); brotherly love (Gk: phileo); and sexual love (Gk: eros). LUST - desire for what is forbidden; lust of the eye; flesh and world (1 John 2:15-17); an obsessive sexual craving; contrary to God's will; idolatry.

A key concept in Christian Ethics where people must love their neighbour as they do themselves. It is also important for Situation Ethics wherein it forms the central rule by which moral behaviour valued is assessed - what is the most loving thing to do. The kind of love here is Agape, meaning unconditional love, which is not dependant of any return and is very different from the love of family and erotic love.

God is love. Divine love is impersonal; it loves for the sake of loving. God knows us without condition. We are called to love others and we love others when we see the presence of God in them. Love heals and harmonizes. Love can overcome anything.

knowledge: the essence of God's being and relationship to His creation, which is unchanging and eternal; beyond definition and teaching, and can only be experienced or known once the barriers of guilt have been removed through forgiveness. true perception: impossible in the illusory world of perception, yet expressed here through forgiveness; the emotion given by God, in contrast to the ego's emotion of fear, and reflected in any expression of true joining with another.
