It isn't.

The Christian Greek scriptures use the words agape (principled love), philia (tender affection) and two words drawn from "storge" (familiel love), for the various kinds of love, but 'eros' (love between the sexes) is not used.

It doesn't. Rather, it uses Agape or Agapeo about 80% of the time, 15% Phileo, and 3% coveting type love (in reference to MONEY), and 2% specific relationship love (for a spouse, or a child).

However, sexual type love is found in the Old Testament in Hebrew. EROS is a Greek term.

Eros is not mentioned in The Bible. This was a greek word mentioned in that time but was not mentioned in the bible. Maybe it is because the Greeks in Corinth viewed eros as the ultimate religious expression. They thought the highest spiritual experience was the most powerful form of ecstasy. And, what could be more intense than sexual climax?

That is why there existed in Corinth the temple to Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty. At one time, this fertility cult employed about one thousand priestess prostitutes available to provide the ultimate "religious experience." Paul referred to this problem in 1 Corinthians 6:15-20.

Nothing specific, as the Greek word eros isn't used in the Bible.
