Let me get this straight - you are saying that everything else in scripture is secondary to this passage? Really? ... Taking one or a select handful of verses as more important than any other verses of scripture always leads down a bad path.

Let me get this straight - when Jesus said "This is the first and greatest commandment." and "All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments," you are saying he didn't mean those words?

And you are saying that to obey those commands as being "more important than any other verses of scripture" precisely because Jesus says those verses are more important than any other verses of scripture, is walking down a bad path?

We part ways right here, friend.

No, not all which was clear from the words that you deleted: "Instead, the other commandments of scripture describe HOW we are to love God with all our heart and soul and might; and our neighbor as ourselves. Looking at the 10 commandments makes that pretty clear. So does the whole of God's Word. (Which became flesh). Take a ride through some of the profits if you think it is ok to worship God however one wants and what "works for them." That didn't work out so well."

Context, context, context. Of scripture and what my previous post.

And you are saying that to obey those commands as being "more important than any other verses of scripture" precisely because Jesus says those verses are more important than any other verses of scripture, is walking down a bad path?

Nope, not at all. Go back and read what I wrote.
