Love doesn't exist.
Everything in the sense of it is lust.
Many are christians because of the lust of eternal Life. Since humans is scared of death and there's this lust in them for immortality, eternal life came about. Everyone has lust in them, the degree to which it is expressed differs from person to person.

Without Lust, everything will be boring. grin grin

Could This Be Love Or Sexual Lust?

A lot of people often confuse sexual lust for love. They think they love someone not knowing that they are actually lusting after the person (body) and may not truly love the real person (soul).

So this post is intended to address that confusion by depicting the glaring difference between the characteristics of the two.

Lust is Proud - Love is Humble

Lust is Impatient - Love is Patient

Lust is Selfish - Love is Generous

Lust is Cruel - Love is Kind

Lust is Abusive - Love is Respectful

Lust is Insatiable/Discontented - Love is Satiable/Contented

Lust is Unforgiving - Love is Forgiving

Lust is Caresless - Love is Careful

Lust is Insincere - Love is Sincere

Lust is Fake - Love is Genuine

Lust is the Counterfeit - Love is the Original

Lust is the Lie - Love is the Truth

Lust is Foolish - Love is Wise

Lust is Evil - Love is Good

Lust is Unjust/Injustice - Love is Just/Justice

Lust is a Poison - Love is a Medicine

Lust is a Disease - Love is a Cure

Lust is a Curse - Love is a Blessing

Lust is the Darkness - Love is the Light

Lust is blindness - Love is sight

Lust Exaggerates - Love is Precise

Lust looks at the Outward Appearance - Love looks at the Heart

Lust is Superficial - Love is deep

Lust is Physical - Love is Spiritual

Lust is Temporal - Love is Eternal

Lust Profits Nothing - Love Profits All Things

Lust is of this World - Love Is Of GOD

John 3:16 (KJV)

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life.

1 John 4:7-8 (KJV)

Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.
He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.


God bless.
all these are abstract at best. Nothing practical or helpful in the post.

What you claimed to be real love at times can reverse to lust. Both love and lust are partners.

Agape love is use to describe the love of God which is the true love , which is the nature of God.
The other ones you term lust is not from God but the nature of Satan in man and it is not lust but Philo love . It's a kind of love we show to gain something in return and it is a very common type of love.
Lust is something different lust is a kind of enticement.

You're deceiving yourself with all that you wrote there. Love and lust are not opposite, according to what you have explained. However, in a deeper sense, they are in contrast in terms of "emotional feeling and connection".

Lust is when someone is emotionally overpowered by "sexual and physical attraction" to another person within a "short while". Whereas, Love, on the other hand, comprises "intimate relationship and vulnerability", with effort applied to build a "deeper emotional connection" that will "last longer".

What is love without lust, we would all be lost without it! I see Op trying to classify love and lust, without knowing that lust can also be long suffering! I suffer for long before boinking any Nigerian girl. Yes, u gats to suffer to make the money u pay 'em for one night of the girlfriend experience! And before u start telling me that love does not have a price, remember that love does not grow but growls on an empty stomach!! According to the Bible, even God had to pay a price for us all. But how many who claim faith are really faithful?.... just like the Nigerian girl!grin

You're confusing lust with infatuation. Lust is purely sexual. There's no emotion at all. Lust vanishes when you no longer find the person sexually attractive - when the person gains weight and so on.

It's infatuation that vanishes after intercourse or after you get to know the person better. Infatuation is very emotional but it doesn't last. It can turn into love sha.

The best romantic relationships have long lasting lust and love.
