    in Greek, there are at least 3 different words that describe 3 types of love.

    as i recall,
    there is romantic love,
    family love
    love of country.

    for instance, it is possible that there is physical love, but not romantic love.

    I could be totally wrong – it has been many years since i read about this.

    so, to REALLY not look like an idiot, it would be good to check with an expert in Greek.

    But i don’t think that any of the forms of love refers to love of God.

    =============
    one of the Greek words for love

    agápe, is the form used for I love you (modern).
    for loving your children, your spouse, even for loving a good meal

    éros, suggests physical attraction

    philía, friendship love

    and storgē. is affection

    ==============
    none of those seem to fit with Love of god, or that God is love.
