Substitute for God.

     "Phil-os" is like a piece of "wood". You can talk to "it", but "it" cannot answer. "It" is not like human (blood) and its thought’s relationship is unconditional: "IT" cannot change mentally, physically, nor spiritually.  Philos is as a one way street going down without authority.  It is affection toward the created [(God can have for man, but not man for God) 1 John 4:10]. It is love for the inanimate: stamps, country, wooden gods, etc., - It has no authority than its creator.  No preferences or self-satisfaction involved. Not given to enemies, but to friends ONLY and is referred to as a general love. It is non-intoxicating. Trust is not primarily necessary and is dependent on its source. When used with affection, it is comparable to passion. With   Fil-oV, Greeks were good statesmen, sportsmen, etc. Human attributes of communication may be given.

     "Er-os" is like a “person”. You can talk to him and he will communicate one to one.  Like yourself, he is human (blood) and your thought’s relationship is equally conditional ("If you love me…”). Each person have choices; mentally, physically, and spiritually. Er-os is a two way street going across! Affections are for each other equally (including Jesus or the devil). Primarily, relationships are for human kind. Authority is inherent and its source began with his birth. With ‘Er-oV, the preferences, satisfactions and spiritualized relationships can be changed by choice or chicanery. Even an enemy can intoxicate you. Trust is dependent on its source.    

There is nothing very educational in saying that everyone has a desire to be mentally content, physically relaxed and spiritually satisfied. We are born with it. As we grow, we learn to elicit from others the responses that make and keep us pleased. At times, the desire and its satisfaction leaves us intoxicated. Kittel says that this is what the Greek sought through eros. Normally we have associated the erotic with sex, but although the complete sex cycle of mating is included, the subliminal implications of this word's power is seldom discussed. "It is a god, and he is powerful even above the gods... All the forces of heaven and earth are forces of second rank compared with the one and only supreme power of eros. No choice is left...to the man who is seized by its tyrannical omnipotence, and he finds supreme bliss in being mastered by it.... Creative eros stands at the heart of the fertility rites and prostitution flourishes in the temples of the great goddesses...Eros is an ecstasy which transports man beyond rationality...Eros is the love that brings forth, creates, and gives life. It is the love that appeals to mental, physical and spiritual comfort. When this god takes full possession of either one or all three faculties, it becomes an enemy to agape. (Eros is Greek. The same word is Sex in Latin.)
The esoteric reason for sex worship violated the second and third Commandments of the Ten Commandments. Some of the signs, symbols and repetitious rhythms of the temple goddesses can still be heard in many places. Suggestive dances of the gods in the act of creation along with the music and ceremonial union of the sexes are not restricted to the dance hall. That which we call Spirit moving us, just may be the urging of spiritualized eros impelling us toward the super sensual. The work of the Holy Spirit is to guide us into all truth, but not to lead us into intoxication. It is not the work of the Holy Spirit to "put an end to all reflection" and set "all the senses in a frenzy in order to lift man above himself". It is the intoxication of eros. Many times we do things because we are caught up by that emotional impact. Everything we do under an emotional influence is not bad, but care should be taken in doing good things. For instance, we feel good when we give our heart to God under an emotional influence. We feel that we have pleased God by making Him feel happy. And this is true. All heaven rejoices over one sinner that repents. However, many times, it is the intoxication of the moment that has impelled us toward a "happiness high", because we feel good too. Consequently because it was not the Spirit of God's sober urging, all too often, after the "high" is over, we fall back into the sin. When you have made a commitment to God through the Holy Spirit, a sober minded, rational choice of making His preference first, He will help you resist the intoxication of eros and lift you by the power of agape, above that influence that seeks self-satisfaction through another power.

3. “Aga-pe” is like “A King” or A Official of the Ottoman Empire [Turkish aga. “Lord.”] “A Head Turkish Soldier”. He is communicative as a person and as a god (Greek, Eros). Our thoughts are un-equally conditioned. Each person has a choice to accept his thoughts and actions as he wishes. Aga-pe is a two way street going up (obedience) and down!  (receiving blessings).  Respect toward the authority receives acceptance. Trust is a primary necessity. Aga-pe’s one-ness is the goal mentally, physically and spiritually.     

**Please notice that "aga" and "lord (King)" were given to those who received authority. These titles were given to those who were chosen with two percent of three persons with in acceptance of the program, or, by conquest. For example, by choice: A President is chosen by two out of three (%) where the third person is chosen to be the leader; or, by conquest of war; or both,  as of the U.S. President's Campaign. These are people who were given authority. 

Even The Father was given permission by The Son of God and of The Holy Spirit to be a Family Firm Creator.  "Aga-pe" was put together by The Godhead saying, "Do what I say (by my mouth), for I have  Position (mentally), have been given Permission (physically), and have inherent  Power  (spiritually). I have Absolute Authority!" John 14:15 and Exodus 20:2-17.

    In the Greek New Testament Dictionary (13 to 28) suggests that the word "aga" shows good relationships of the Leader (King/Lord/Father) for those who are given respect, obedience and  reciprocity. For instance in 1 Corinthians  13:. It starts with a person (male), a "lord relationship"  (A) who is willing to listen to others and (B) who give respect and obedience⁽¹⁾.

   It is nice to know that it (aga) started in Heaven where Jesus talks to the Father (John 1:1). The conversation continued with Jesus (The Son) asking the Father to LET HIM become man. The Reciprocity was not finished until YOU have accepted His blood on Calvary. At begins with your own Authority. At ends with YOUR Authority given back to Him Who gave it to you at your birth. Amen! Have you accepted Jesus? You don't know? Then ask Him.

There are  three primary thoughts concerning the word agape. #1, there has to be "A King" who will give good (bad) gifts; #2, there must be "A Subject"; someone who will receive the  gift. And #3, there should be Reciprocity for having received the gift. The thoughts should be "Thanks" should it be? When these three things change, so also the relationship. Maybe the subject becomes "A King", or what he wants it any way.  Aga-pe is always the King, and as a Christian he should say: "Let it be!" 

SEE:  G. KITTEL, THEOL. DICT. NT. V.1 P. 35-37 & V. 9 P. 119-123.

Please notice another Greek word for Love: stabetar (now four Greek words). We are suggesting that this word is a part of Eros. It is the "maintaining relationship toward taking care of the baby", or a positive relationship for a person in the family. Until the "baby" is grown, the physical eros, without making children, is a part of the  process of the family (man, woman, and Jesus). The relationship of eros is still in vogue. It would be nice to continue with the Three Greek Words as the Bible says: philos, eros, and agape.

Using the same idea of the four English words as mental, physical, spiritual, and social relationships, we notice that it would be hard to use the word, "social", with out using the mental, physical, spiritual powers  of these relationships separately.   Jt.

CONDITIONED LOVE, THE ULTIMATE    

The Plan of Salvation
          Sorrow filled heaven as it was realized that man was lost and that the world which God had created was to be filled with mortals doomed to misery, sickness, and death, and that there was no way of escape for the offender. The whole family of Adam must die. I then saw the lovely Jesus and beheld an expression of sympathy and sorrow upon His countenance. Soon I saw Him approach the exceeding bright light which enshrouded the Father. Said my accompanying angel, "He is in close converse with His Father." The anxiety of the angels seemed to be intense while Jesus was communing with His Father. Three times He was shut in by the glorious light about the Father, and the third time He came from the Father we could see His person. His countenance was calm, free from all perplexity and trouble, and shone with a loveliness which words cannot describe. He then made known to the angelic choir that a way of escape had been made for lost man; that He had been pleading with His Father, and had obtained permission to give His own life as a ransom for the race, to bear their sins, and take the sentence of death upon Himself, thus opening a way whereby they might, through the merits of His blood, find pardon for past transgressions, and by obedience be brought back to the garden from which they were driven. Then they could again have access to the glorious, immortal fruit of the tree of life to which they had now forfeited all right.
