but since the married women seem to fall under the “love your neighbor as you love yourself” rule, this relationship - had it been a real live relationship - would be the will of God
Wow, just wow. They literally took a line from Kipling's "Gods of the Copybook Headings" and tried to make it a play on a Christian proverb.
The idea of love from the Bible is a sacrificial love, eschewing what you want to meet the real needs of another. Not, hey I love you lets jump into bed.
(Which started by loving our neighbour and ended by loving his wife)

The confusion of lust and love. The world thinks they are the same.
Holy is not a word in their vocabulary.

“Wow, just wow. They literally took a line from Kipling’s “Gods of the Copybook Headings” and tried to make it a play on a Christian proverb.”
I missed that. Wow! That’s why it came out as au courante balderdash.
Imitating Kipling is a crime today. Doesn’t His Wokeness understand imitating banned writers badly is eschewed on both the left and right for different reasons? /s
(I can’t reply right now. I have a burning need to re-read “The White Man’s Burden.”)

Yeah, there are some things lost in translation from Greek to English, and one of them is the subtleties of “love”, which we only have one word for, while the Greek had several.
