He did not condense anything down to just two commandments. The works of God are continuous. You're never supposed to stop for the duration of your whole life.

Mat 22:36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law?

Mat 22:37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.

Mat 22:38 This is the first and great commandment.

Mat 22:39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

Mat 22:40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

You can continue to pay your indulgence fee if you like, mine has been paid in full and for all time.

John 14
15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.

Context means everything.

Matt 22:37 is an umbrella statement. Love the Lord and if you Love the Lord you will do what He says.

In Matt 25:32-46 the Lord states explicitly that they who didn't do the works they were commanded to do are cast out at the judgement.

I'm curious, do you think the Lord is joking or not serious? Or is this the first time you've read Matt 25? Since you don't believe works matter...how do you plan on getting around it?
