Indeed, there is no substitute for the Great Commandment (Matthew 22) - which I paraphrase as: love God absolutely.

When we put any thing or any one above that - including self - we are in deep spiritual error.

The second commandment is distant from the Great Commandment and I paraphrase it as: love our neighbors unconditionally..

As Jesus said in Matthew 22, the law and the prophets hang on those two commandments.

Again, to paraphrase: "if you get these two right, you won't sweat the details."

Love God absolutely...love our neighbors unconditionally...As Jesus said in Matthew 22, the law and the prophets hang on those two commandments

and "treat people the same way you want them to treat you," is the Law and the Prophets." [Mat 7:12]

INDEED.

Quite true and more briefly put than mine!

Thanks for your kind reply.
