lol it's good over here just take a peek it won't hurt you Tongue

well agape love is unconditional love which is not so common these days, but it comes in essence from esteeming the other person as better than yourself.

hmmm.. kind of like the guy that covers the girl when something bad happens and gets shot/bashed or whatever instead of the girl?

CAUTION: This is the claim that Christians make about Jesus - That he bore our sins/God's wrath for mankind.

Personally, I gain no benefit from not esteeming others as better than myself. Likewise, I find no merit apart from practice.

Yes, that is probably the better definition; sacrificial love. As fff suggested, an example would be Jesus dying for his enemies.
John 6:40 For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who looks on the Son and believes in him should have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day."

message me if you would like prayer

"That's disgusting. There were clean athletes out there that have had their whole careers ruined by people like Lance Armstrong who just bended thoughts to fit their circumstances. He didn't look up cheating because he wanted to stop, he wanted to justify what he was doing and to keep that continuing on." - Nicole Cooke
