We were talking specifically about the commandment to love God with one's whole heart and whole soul and whole mind and whole strength.

You are aware of course that Rabbi Hillel (roughly contemporary with Christ or a little before) taught that the commandments to love God and to love one's neighbor as oneself "are the Law and Prophets; all else is commentary"? Maybe not . . .
