At first, Yeshua asks "Do you agape me? Do you love me in a way that you could love a stranger?"
Peter says, "Lord, you know that I filia you. I love you and we have a real connection."
Then, Yeshua asks again, "Do you agape me?" (general love)
Peter responds, "You know that I filia you!"...
Now to add more to the controversy... John reads
15 So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs. 16He saith to him again the second time...
"4074 Pétros (a masculine noun) – properly, a stone (pebble), such as a small rock found along a pathway. 4074/Pétros ("small stone") then stands in contrast to

The term "supernatural" has always bothered me because it sounds like it is out of the ordinary of God's realm. It is the natural order of angels to work and exist like lightning, vapors, without substance and be either good or evil. God gave all His creation the option to choose between good...
