5The ancient Greek language had four words to describe different types of love: [blank_start]agape[blank_end], [blank_start]phileo[blank_end], [blank_start]eros[blank_end], and storge. Only two of these Greek words are used in the New Testament, agape (self-sacrificial love) and phileo (brotherly love).
A third type of love, eros, expresses sexual love, but the word is nowhere to be found in the New Testament. The fourth Greek word for love is storge, which relates to natural, familial love such as the love between a parent and child. In the New Testament, the negative form of storge is used twice. Astorgos means “devoid of natural or instinctive affection, without affection to kindred.”
Romans 1:31 describes sinful humanity as having “no understanding, no fidelity, no love, no mercy.” The Greek word translated as “no love” is astorgos. The other instance of this word is found in 2 Timothy 3:3, where it is translated “without love.” Paul warns that one mark of the “terrible times in the last days” (verse 1) is that people will lack natural love for their own families.
In Romans 12:10 we find an interesting compound: philostorgos is translated as “be devoted.” The word combines philos and storge and means “to cherish one’s kindred.” Believers in Christ, children of the same heavenly Father, are to “be devoted to one another in love.” As part of God’s family, we should show loving affection toward each other and be prone to love. Philostorgus is used only once in the New Testament, and that’s in Romans 12:10.
Agape: “…goodwill at work in partnership with reason” in seeking the “neighbour’s best interest with a careful eye to all the factors in the situation”. Agape is concern for others. Fletcher uses the term ‘best interest’, so this seems much the same as Singer’s utilitarianism. We act out of love for others, trying to do the best to serve their interests.- Aagape

7Are these statements correct?
For Bultmann, religion was about a person’s ‘ultimate concern’ – In the end, there is something higher than the morality of obeying rules, and whether it is one’s ‘ultimate concern’ or simply an absolute principle of love, it is the striving after some transcendent value that makes an action morally right.
Tillich – Jesus had no set of finite laws or rules.- ARichtig
- BFalsch
8Select the statements which are correct.
- ALegalism
The key idea in ethical legalism is that one has a set of laws and regulations that are absolute and cannot be changed unless commanded by authority. Religious devotees who believe in a Supreme Being will often claim that moral codes have been Divinely given/received, and as such they are to be followed without question (E.g. The Ten Commandments). - BLegalism
The key idea in ethical legalism is that one has a set of laws and regulations already worked out. Religious devotees who believe in a Supreme Being will often claim that moral codes have been Divinely given/received, and as such they are to be followed without question (E.g. The Ten Commandments). - CThe key idea in antinomianism, is that there are no rules like Nihilism. There is no moral system one must adhere to, nor any way of living one is obliged to follow. We are free to do whatever we choose to do.
- DThe key idea in antinomianism, is that there are no rules. However they would allow the elite to create their own laws. But ultimately we are free to do whatever we choose to do.
- E"The Situationist enters into every decision-making situation fully armed with the ethical maxims of his community and its heritage, and he treats them with respect as illuminators of his problems. Just the same he is prepared to set them aside in the situation if love seems better served by doing so." (Joseph Fletcher)
- F"The Situationist enters into every decision-making situation fully armed with the ethical maxims of his community and its heritage, and he treats them with respect as illuminators of his problems. Just the same he is prepared to set them aside in the situation if eros seems better served by doing so." (Joseph Fletcher)
