I just checked how they describe "to accept" in etymology online,
late 14c., "to take what is offered," from Old French accepter (14c.) or directly from Latin acceptare "take or receive willingly,"
It means "to take something".
Hmm... could that be the difference?
"to take " seems an action, like a more "yang" thing. Whereas love is more a passive state of being, a radiance? More a "yin" thing.
something like that...
Even if you love someone you don't have to take everything that they offer you.
Thanks for making me think about this Adonai, that is an interesting concept... I feel like there might be more coming out of this that I am not able to put into words yet.
