One Yeti&#x27;s Perspective #32: Love?!

Vivid imagery in the words "noisy gong or clanging symbol". I believe relationships are the most important thing we can be involved in even if we don't have the same perspectives. Thanks for sharing man and was great to see you in DTubeDaily Discord yesterday :)

Yeah man! Those words are powerful! I love the idea of dtube daily. It is nice to see that there is a community for creators commited to being so active. I do hope to learn more from them and make better videos with time. Shoot, I have 11 more months atleast of daily vlogs! I may not be as technical as some including the hodgetwins, but I am The Yeti, and that is enough for me 🙃

I have written a book on 1 Corinthians 13 I gave the title, "What's Love Got to Do With It?" International Standard Bible Encyclopedia claims that the word translated love in this chapter is not found in ancient literature until the book of First Corinthians (chapter 8 verse 1 is the first occurrence). It suggests that the word is coined by Paul to describe the unique love Christians have for their church.

I love it. So the term Paul used was coined for a representation the way believers love each other. 🙃 I do believe that there is a closeness that comes through a common belief.

This is the exact language from the ISBE,
"1. A New Word
The substantive agapē is mainly, if not exclusively, a Biblical and ecclesiastical word (see Deissmann, Bible Studies, 198ff), not found in profane writings, although the verb agapā́n, from which it is derived, is used in classical Greek in the sense of “love, founded in admiration, veneration, esteem, like the Latin diligere” (Grimm-Thayer), rather than natural emotion (Latin, amare).

A New Ideal
It is a significant evidence of the sense of a new ideal and principle of life that permeated the Christian consciousness of the earliest communities, that they should have made current a new word to express it, and that they should derive that word, not from the current or philosophical language of Greek morality, but from the Septuagint.
An Apostolic Term
In the New Testament the word is apostolic, and appears first and predominantly in the Pauline writings. It is found only twice in the Synoptics (Mat 24:12; Luk 11:42), and although it is in both places put in the mouth of the Saviour, it can easily be understood how the language of a later time may have been used by the narrator, when it is considered that these gospels were compiled and reduced to writing many years after the spread of the Pauline epistles."

Have a great day.

Thanks for the shout out!!! I am bummed I missed the call.

Great video. I agree that if we could only love people the way the Bible says our world would be radically different. One thing the Lord has been laying on me is that His Torah is all about love. How we love God and how we love others. Has totally changed how I approach life. Keep up the videos.

It really is amazing to think that love can transcend all things. I believe that is by design. If we are made in Gods image, I believe that image is love!
