Romans 13:9
For the commandments, “You shall not commit adultery,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,” “You shall not bear false witness,” “You shall not covet,” and if [there is] any other commandment, are [all] summed up in this saying, namely, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up;
5 does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil;
6 does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth;
7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
So then Love:
Is patient
Is kind
Does not envy
Is not self-seeking
Is not haughty
Is not provoked
Rejoices in Truth
Bears all things
Believes all things
Hopes all things
Endures all things
And more bluntly:
Does not murder
Does not commit adultery
Does not steal
Does not bear false witness (imho this doesn’t just refer to in society, but also in court - which is more important biblically than we’ve been taught)
Does not covet.
BY COMPARISON, the damned Beatles, who kindly redefined the word for generations following their grooming phase as 15 year olds playing gigs in German brothels:
“love” is:
Affection
Lust
Self-seeking
Emotional
Undefined
Temporary
Physical
Endorphins and hormones
We have to take this word back from the secularists.
They didn't redefine it. They ignored Agapao (greek) the love of God in the renewed mind in manifestation,
and onlybsang about Philadelphia (greek) brotherly love or Eros (greek) sexual love. Why? Because they didn't k ow about the highest form of love, love from God who is the source of all spiritual love as described in 1 cor 13.
Perhaps not in terms of adding a new definition outright, but in terms of sliding the window on how the word is used and perceived in vernacular speech and action, they absolutely did.
The slippery slope is fake nazi propaganda, you racist bigot. Now cut your son’s dick off and sell it to our sorcerers to conjure your next vaccicattlecination or we’ll throw you in prison again.

Someone once said just take a small bite of the apple....for now. (slippery slope comes to mind)

Biblically, there are different kinds of love.
1 - Eros refers to physical or sexual love 2 - Philos means warm affection or friendship 3 - Agapē is the sacrificial, unconditional love of God
All are valid forms of love. However, Christians are called to know and exhibit Agape love.
Don’t forget Storge. Family love.
