Sure The word and context there is of course agape based in G5368 phileo. That means the general social 'brotherly love". The context (beloved) (agapatos) in context is also people of the same ilk ( in this application the audience was saved people as they were "beloved") So, we are to...

Asked and answered. My, what a rattled cage you have

I'll let you figure that one out based on Scripture and lets see what you learned. I am and I recognize authority quite well- just as well as those who claim authority but dont have it. Feel free to scripturally refust my premise. Your ad hom has certainly failed. No, just your argument so...

I agree completely Then lets see how you reached your conclusion and i will correct it for you

Impossible circumstance. We can only know what God "thinks" through what is recorded in his word and the context of it so at that point what we 'agree" is irrelevant.

You are finally catching on, good No, I prove my case just as i have done here and leave them waffling just as you are when they cannot refute what I have said. No, just another poor snare of yours to avoid. I am not 'the authority" ( as in certifying authority) I am simple the assigned...

Ive dug very deep into that and that subject specifically. I'm watching where you go with it

I gave you the reference, now get off your dead 4th point of contact and do your own definitive research

assuming you are referring to agothos as the definition of "good" and from God's perspective then there is nothing subjective as "good" (beneficial" is defined in terms of His perfect will. The specific situation will define what "good" looks like or is.

I wasn't debating or "arguing" with you, I was correcting you. I gave the reference articles necessary to guide you to the correct scriptural answer. Now lets see what you do with it.

Good, let me know if I can help you That's correct and your translation is in error as is your doctrine oh please tell us all, who is a "mans authority" if you think there is one? Be specific now. Give the reference and commission for this "authority" too. I am waiting anxiously to hear...

Then you might want to focus more on precision reading and accuracy than fluff and philosophy. See who Jesus was talking to and what a "neighbor" actually is contrasted against "sinner" and the light will come on. That really doesn't mean anything in the scheme of things. Christians sin with...

You need a learning annex in grammar it seems, go do a quick study on the subject then come back

I don't doubt that for a minute. Think about it for a while and see if the lights come on. ( thinking is how you get better at it) No, I avoided a trap. I explained the process in detail (and you know that). Scripture sets the standard, The Spirit provides anything else, the "heart" of the...

that's patently absurd

Why are you an atheist? Hard to argue your justification of that point given the conduct of so many wearing the title but could you put that aside for a bit and discuss the subject of what really drives you away from the Lord or stands in the way of you moving forth on that? You made...

and do you understand what that actually means?

The 1929 autobiography of Ghandi That's not "wisdom", that's actually sin. In biblical context, a "sinner" is an unsaved person ( we were all sinners until saved) and God "hates" sin. Now to the human ( sinner), that's obviously not a license to "hate" the sinner but its also not a command or...

You do realize that entire concept ( and saying ) is of Hindu origin and contradicts actual scriptures don't you?

First, when the epistles were written there was no "bible" as we know it today so obviously there was no command about something that did not yet exist. Second, the office of apostle ( the 12 selected to speak under the authority of Jesus who by qualification HAD to be a physical eyewitness to...
