Those who love me. [/quote] Think about the good Samaratin. The parable is found Luke chapter 10 [/quote] If the most important rule of the Bible was only followed by one person in the whole kingdom, why be a sucker to get the approval of yet another? The Good Samaritan doesn't make the other Samaritans good--and those are his neighbors. He is just a useful Samaritan. [/quote] He was good to someone that culturally was not his associate. [/quote] It wasn't paid forward, so next. [/quote] Who cares if it was paid forward? The type of self development we want has no interest in repayment in any form. Love is just freely given without any strings attached. . [/quote] To *neighbors* Samaritans and Israelites aren't neighbors. If someone drops their wallet in front of me, I am obligated *not* to give it back if they aren't my neighbor. Because that would constitute giving them a 'gift.' If we are going to play around with what 'neighbor' and 'stranger' and 'sojourner' mean in context, then you are already dealing with me in a non-loving manner, wouldn't you say? As for 'freely-given,' I'm only pure enough racially for 'tough love,' and without any of the other kinds, that's functionally indistinguishable from *hate* Nice try, though. Also, I didn't say 'paid back,' I said 'paid forward.' Meaning being kind to a cruel people equals being cruel to a kinder people than they are. The guy who fell down didn't help any strangers up himself after the fact, or Jesus would have mentioned it. Like I said, a sucker's game. [/quote]

Matthew Chapter 22
36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
38 This is the first and great commandment.
39 And the second is like unto it,
Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
... Good luck out there.
Love more!
Keep it simple. Love others.
Happy Sunday. Happy 4th of July.
