Can non Christian display agape love? Agape love means unconditional love. Some have said it means 'Godly love'
Agape is a greek word meaning unconditional sacrificial love, seperating it from brother love (phileo) and passionate love (Eros) and the more modern term of affection (storge)
So, with that in mind, can non-christians show agape love?

Yes, we are all capable of "unconditional" love......
That type of Love, comes from God's heart, not our own!

Agape love is not only selfless and self-giving love, and unconditional love, but it is also the unmerited love that God shows to mankind in sending his son Jesus Christ as suffering redeemer. As humans, it is quite difficult to show that kind of love, for we always try to put conditions on giving love to people.
Even though we may not mean to, we end up doing it anyway because that is in our human nature. The only way that we can give agape love is through the power of the Holy Spirit.

Hello Mav.. :)
Unconditional Love means, that no matter what one can or does to us, we can forgive and Love them..this also would include when someone may hurt or murder a loved one..could you still forgive them, like God forgave us for killing His only Son Jesus..that is Agape Love.. :)
In Jesus Most Precious Name..
With Love..In Christ.. :)

Funny, is not being a practicing homosexual a condition? SOME christians are capable of practicing unconditional love, some are not. I guess that is where the definition of "true Christian" comes into play

Of course Mav, all humans are capable of agape love. Who thinks you are stupid honey? They are not too astute in observing people is all I can say.

I think all people have it within themselves to love unconditionally although it can be a rare and difficult thing. I think you will find unconditional love present in the love many mothers have for their child regardless of religion or nonreligion.
