For this topic we are going to be using a bible passage God pointed my eyes to as text for this topic a while ago. Usually it is used to interpret things happening in perilous times but God pointed it to me as things opposite to what love means. If we have learnt what love is then we need to learn what love is not. Thank God we have a bible passage to back it up for us.
- This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
- For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
- Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
- Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
- Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
- For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
- Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
- Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.
- But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was.
Verse 2 started with qualities that are not love but which we need to be sensitive to the leading of the word of God not to ignore these qualities when trying to find love. It started with, someone who is a lover of their own selves but saying with mouth that they love you or even sleeping with you or giving you romantic moments, it is not love. Let all men be false and God alone true.
Most of the times women misinterpret touching to love, that is because of the oxytocin released at such times, reason I always advise girls not to allow men to touch them, I do that too, I make men to move away from getting close to me so I can know who they really are, many of them can't hide their monsters for long, it comes out. Imagine after assuming a man loves you then you because he touches you at places that makes you feel relieved only to find out later that he has wife with kids. That is the reason we cannot leave bible out when we want to know what love is.
The list goes on from verse 2, but I also want to discuss verse 6 elaborately, it says, they lead silly women captive, that is God recognizing how gullible a lot of women can be, at little toasting they already believed what the man says without taking time to find the truth. The other word I also want to talk about is leading to captivity, that means any man who keeps you as a captive doesn't love you. Don't confuse it. A lot of women misinterpret love, when a man bullies them and treat them as slave they say it is because he loves them so much, the bible is teaching us the truth here that it is not love. Like I said in the past post, we can have our own definition as human beings but only the bible can give us the perfect definition for any confused topic and such definitions doesn't hurt us later. Furthermore in that verse, it talks about lusting. That is to say, a man who is lusting after your body is not love. Lots of girls even dress almost naked around their boyfriends every time with the interpretation that he is always in love with me when he sees me wearing those skimpy dresses. My dear, that is not love. Love is deeper than your looks. As a matter of fact, love is mostly tested when you are in your vulnerable state and your partner protects you and still loves you as much as when you are strong. if all your love is about the makeup, fake hairs, fake eyelashes, naked dresses, you will hurt yourself because that means whenever you are weak, your body starts changing or you dress to cover up yourself, the love vanishes.
Same goes with a woman who only loves you because you are rich, the day your money finishes, she will find someone richer to be with. And this is completely wrong to what love is. Love believes all things, it doesn't change with seasons and times, situations doesn't change love. I pray God helps us to take God's definition so we quit hurting ourselves and someone else.
