The First Great Commandment: Love thy neighbor as thy self!

The third great comandment:

you are completely doomed!

that is exactly what is happening in the world!

people are loving others like they do themselves...

CONDITIONALLY

that commandment works best when self love is solidly in place :-)

True martina, most don't apply themselves to recieve what the life of love really is

Hey, careful with that slimJim, you might go blind

yes, of course you are full of love.

that commandment, to love thy neighbor as thyself, appears twice in the old testament, but did not make the top ten. it was first said by moses and quoted by jesus. but jesus elevated its importance to right behind love of god

It seems the "thou shalt not kill/steal/covet/yadda yadda yadda, are the opposite side of the same idea and for a more primitive mind set.

be there for yourself as you would be their for another human being or a neighbor, or someone 'special'.

practice kindness and common courtesy.

your ambiguous doctrines would lead no one to righteousness, and you know it.

lol. it's relative. IT"S ALL RELATIVE

j/k

black is black and white is white but interpretations masked the Law

That's really it and sadly, far too many people are bereft of self-love in the most healthy of ways.

Self-love is not the same as being self-centered or full of one's self. No, true love and appreciation for yourself, knowing that you are as important, beautiful, loved and perfect in your being as the creator has intended.

Looking around at others, I constantly hear a mantra in my head which says, "Wherever you go, the creator is..." meaning to me that, Any one person that I interact with on a daily basis, could very well be, the creator. Testing me, seeing how I react to the world.

Think of it the way the agents in the Matrix could jump into anyone they wanted to, similar to that, except... you just don't know for sure who...

Nice thread OP... I'm with ya on it!

LOL your assumtion of my doctrines after a singal post says more about you than me. Good thing i have you to tell me what i know or i'd be lost!. Care to add anything constructive? Or are you capable of a two-way conversation?

The First Commandment(as told by Jesus) was to love God.

The second commandment was to love your neighbor as yourself.

At least have the decency to get it right if you want to quote Scripture.



One of the scribes approached. When he heard them debating and saw that Jesus answered them well, he asked Him, "Which commandment is the most important of all?"
"This is the most important," Jesus answered: Listen, Israel! The Lord our God, The Lord is One. Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.
"The second is: Love your neighbor as yourself. There is no other commandment greater than these."
Mark 12:28-31

lol, keep trying buddy, i know, the english langauge can be a tough one.

You got it! Was hoping someone would set the record straight ;)

Justice: two young boys are about to share an apple. The one says to the other, "I'll cut. You choose."

It aint hard.

The first is Love God
The second is Love thy Neighbour.
