A man named Jesus of course. It's not some cheesy romantic love it's something far better "Agape" Some would call it. Notice there are four different loves in the bible but in the English language its lumped into one word and that's a problem. If I were back in high school and I said I loved someone and it was a man I would get some rude uneducated fellow shout "Gay!" Probably at a bar too now that I think of it. What are your opinions did you fear I was coming out of the closet so to speak? or did you know what I was talking about from the start? Any idea of how we could possibly bring back the four loves in the bible? If so do share! :)

Believe it or not I get the human dilemma. It is easy to think of G-d as my husbandman, I am a woman. I have actually thought about the same quandary from a man. Thing I know it is not “gay” unless you want to be romantically involved with Y-shus. And if you don’t want sex with Him I’m quite sure it is different. And if a man does well, he just needs prayer. From a woman’s point of view.

Maybe we just have to make up a few New love- Words and start using them until everyone around us does?

For a split second I thought Whaaaaaaaa.? but then I realised who posted the thread and I wasn't worried. Talk about a click-bait title though. :p

Have you ever seen those signs that gay protesters hold that say love is love? I think that's misleading. Love is love but there are different kinds of love, Storge, Philia,Ero's and Agape are the four kinds of love in the bible. Storge is the love a mother or father shows for there child Philia is the love for a friend a brotherly sisterly love and Ero's would be romantic love. Agape is the love God show's us and it can be had for any and everyone regardless of age sex or anything else. What I'm suggesting is that we bring back the four loves so people wont be as confused and know that certain loves are appropriate to certain people. Ero's for example can only be shown between a man and a women and Storge can't be shown to a friend because you didn't give birth to them philia and Agape can though.

well put, post, and I am married to a magnificent husband whom our Father has
sent to me, and we are one... but, bottom line, Yeshua is my true Husband now and forever...
