You are quoting Old Testament Law. Jesus Christ came and brought in the New Testament.

Words of Jesus: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind; and, Love your neighbor as yourself.”

(Luke 10:27)

I was quoting Moses.

Jesus Christ came and brought in the New Testament.

A Mississippi politician said that the Bible provided a good role model on how to treat people. He didn't limit his statement or his proposed law to the New Testament. The lines I quoted from the Bible evidently provide the same sort of model for behavior as ISIS does. So it appears that this politician has not really read the complete Bible, which he should have done before he proposed that it become the official state book and before he made the blanket statement that it was a good role model for how to treat people.

BTW it is not even clear that a book can be a role model. Wikipedia says that a role model is a person. The Good Samaritan is a role model of someone who follows the Golden Rule.
