“The argument which I made simply demonstrated that this is false and gave the concept of the Trinity as an example: We believe in the concept of the Trinity though the word is not itself in the Bible.”

Tiffany, I think you took Cheryl’s statement out of context of what she was expressing. It isn’t the concept of eros that is not Biblical, but the concept that in Ephesians Paul was addressing eros in marriage or that Paul was addressing eros in marriage as an authority versus submission paradigm. Something like that. We have to be careful that in our desire to be concise in quoting that we eliminate the real intent of the author.

Actually, there is no real relationship to the lack of use of Trinity in Scripture to the lack of use of eros in Scripture, specifically in Ephesians 5. There is no parallel IMO.

Romantic love and sexuality are not actually equal to the covenant devoted communion of a man and woman committed in the oneness bond of marriage. Certainly they love each other, but romantic love and sexuality is actually at the low end of the relationship or should be even though it needs to be included. Romantic love should not be the driving factor of a godly marriage.
