I love the diversity and breadth of thought this represents.
I’m curious about the historical concept of love-anciently when Jesus said “love one another” did his audience understood it remotely the same as we do in modern America?
Almost definitely not! Just too much linguistic and cultural change since then. Our concept of romantic love is quite new (in many ways, emerged after the industrial revolution in the 1800s). This is an interesting question though. I'd be interested to see an analysis of the ancient Hebrew/Jewish/Aramaic concept of love was at the time of Jesus!

This is great! “Relationships are a creative act!”
