Robert Posted May 3, 2009 Author Posted May 3, 2009 Another thing, Gerry, Paul states that "agape is the fulfillment of the law." He didn't say "eros" is the fulfillment or any other type of love, he said "agape".... Without the key ingredient of "agape" all the good things humans do outwardly is done for self-centered reasons inwardly and therefore in heaven's eye is mere dung - filthy rags. That's why Paul states that, "If I give everything I own to the poor ..., but I don't love [agape], I've gotten nowhere. So, no matter what I say, what I believe, and what I do, I'm bankrupt without love [agape]." MSG 1 Cor 13:3 Quote
