If my neighbor wants me to impregnate his wife, does Jesus see any problem with that? Suppose my neighbor is desperate for a child and can't produce one on his own. Does the absolute law of jesus's love trump the absolute Commandment against adultery?

Only God knows what would be in your heart, your neighbor's heart and the wife's heart. 99.99 percent of cases of adultery involve the severe infliction of pain on someone.

A caveat-- that figure would be lower if you don't count those so calloused they can no longer feel the pain.

I see. But in the .01 per cent case, your argument, I presume, is that Jesus said it was ok, because the law of agape love, as expressed in the Golden Rule trumps commandment against adultury?
