Legalism

this approach is also known asnormative for obvious reason

Considers as too restrictive andcircumscribed

Antinomianism

frees the Christian from theobligations of the moral law

too liberal and unconventional,which may lead to anarchy andmoral chaos

situation may be, one must alwaysact in the name of Christian love.

refers to the affection that binds aparent to his or her child, a brother to

his sister, and so on.


10/28

Agapeic Love

refers to ones care and concernand kindness towards others.

love that is totally selfless

CHRISTIAN LOVE it is characterized by charity,respect, and responsibility towardsthe other


11/28

Why not eros or philia?

these two are biased and partial

e.g. A surgeon may decide on

slowly and painlessly ending the life ofhis own grandmother, under thepretext of mercy killing, while in fact

the surgeon is simply in a hurry to gethis inheritance from her.


12/28
