   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.
