How many different types of love does the Bible mention?

  Improve

There are only three types of love mentioned in the Bible. 1. agape (unconditional love) 2. PHILEO 3. Storge
(brotherly love or personal affection and it expects a return.)
Jesus loves everyone with "agape" love, and He tells us to have "agape" love towards everyone. (It's pronounced A-gap-a')

There are four kinds of love: agape, philia, storge, and eros.
Agape -- unconditional love, God for mankind
Philia -- Philiadepia, the city of brotherly love, or love that exists between close friends.
Storge -- Love that grows between family members.

Only three types are mentioned in the Bible Eros has no mention at all
I guess God reasoned we could sort that one out ourselves!

Eros; A special intimate love between just two people for life; not to be shared or thrown about as is the trend today. When people in love become intimate the are joined in not just a physical act but joined in spirit. Hence the quote "Joined in the flesh" You will become one body.

When I was separated from my wife I was very conscious of being torn in two, half of me was missing!

That pain even after many years still lingers:

-- sexual, exotic love
