Assuming you are correct about Jesus’ usage of different words (I don’t have time to go look at the Greek), you are helping to prove my point. Are we supposed to love God in the same way as Peter, or is Christ’s command to love God different for the Apostles than it is for us?

As is historically and obviously easy to see.. humans have very different ideas of what "love" means.. God seems to leave it to the individual what loving God means.. What I think loving God means may not be what you think it means.. Not only with God but with other things..
