  • The correct interpretation of the Bible is not always obvious nor a matter of opinion
  • Some things don’t translate well from age to age, or from culture to culture
  1. Agape= Divine Love
  2. Phileo= Friendship
  3. Thelo=Please or delight in
  4. Eros=Sensual love
  5. Stergo= Family love

  • Definitions have nuances that obscure meaning
  • There are many times in scripture when our responsibilities is clear in any translation
  • There are times when the Bible cannot be taken literally
  • Charles Spurgeon
  • To follow the wrong doctrine is sin
  • Practical example of the language gap-meekness
