Perhaps you'd benefit from a study of

constructs and super-ordinate constructs.

I'll take Jesus' summary as more than adequate and all encompassing.

Last I checked, He is still King of Kings and Lord of Lords--placed by The Father, over all.

I'm more than comfortable with Jesus' summary.

Sorry you're not.

It seems that you have no concept that when Jesus was referring to the Ten Commandments as involving loving God and neighbor that that is not all God asks of us.

I am pointing out where God says to do more than just obey his commandments. Apparently, you think the Christian should do the bare minimum.

You also have no concept of the difference between obeying God's law and serving God.

Serving God is much more than just obeying his law. But, it is part of it.

Similarly, love is not all the Christian has. He has patience, gentleness, humility. He has faith.

Your quote from PDL exposes a flaw because love is all he cares about in the book. There is much more to Christianity than touchy-feely stuff.
