"Jesus said the greatest commandment is to Love your GOD with all your heart all your mind"

It's might not mind, and I think Jesus read that in Deuteronomy, first. ;)

If Christians followed the whole verse, they'd also wear tfillin and put a Mezuzah on their door. ;)

Deuteronomy 6:4-5
"Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one! You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength.

Okay here we have strength instead of might...

Now Jesus was the inspiration for the verse in the first place, since I believe the trinity Jesus, GOD and Holy Spirit as one entity: Genesis 1:26 Then God said, "Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over the cattle and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth."

Our Image-human being=Jesus Christ

Okay GITP
*Man* wrote the bible with the inspiration of the Creator does that mean every single verse through translation has not been misread or mis wrote well I am sure to some degree it has, nevertheless The Ten Commandments were given straight to Moses from GOD Almighty and Jesus always said he came to fullfill the law not break it..

What Jesus did do IMO that infuriated many in his community was point out the hypocrisy of the Pharisees for one who thought they were perfect as they followed Torah, did not break the sabbath etc...But where was thier compassion for thier fellow man??? the Samaritans?,the Lepors? the sick and mentally challenged? Jesus came for those folks, who truly needed hope, love, charity (Same thing as today)Jesus pointed out to many in his communities what Good is it that you follow the law but shun your neighbors?? Jesus spoke on the Temple Mount saying *Is thier any challenge in loving people like you? or that love you? *NO* the challenge is loving people not like you or that hate and persecute you, this message translates to people across the globe in our world today...

Can you imagine GITP how cold and callous people would be today if Jesus never came to earth? IMO it would be a far more tough world to exsist in....
Smiles from Tara...:)
