Guadium:
"This is why the first and greatest commandment is love of God and of neighbor."

Hold on a second. The first and greatest commandment is not love of God and of neighbor. The first and greatest commandment is love of God.

ebb, ebb, ebb... you picked on the wrong verse buddy....lol

Lets go to the tape:

+++ Master, which is the greatest commandment in the law?
37 Jesus said to him: Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with thy whole heart, and with thy whole soul, and with thy whole mind.
38 This is the greatest and the first commandment.
39 And the second is like to this: Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
40 On these TWO commandments DEPENDETH THE WHOLE law and the prophets.


So is it semantics keeping you from God? OR does your religious sect Believe that you can get to Heaven by just obeying ONE of those Commandments - Love God- sorry neighbor??
OR do you then think the Church is saying just love your neighbor- you don't need to love God? What a hoot that sermon would be...
In Christianity, those commandments are alike, and inseparably the whole - in these verses you are trying to distort for your own pleasure !!!
Work of the devil ebb !!! The diabulous !!!

So tell me again:::

HOW do the Vatican 2 documents keep YOU from Loving God with all YOUR heart, etc.?
HOW do the Vatican 2 documents keep YOU from willing the best for YOUR neighbor?
HOW do the Vatican 2 documents keep YOU from becoming the best Catholic version of YOURSELF you know you should be?

No one is arguing that the second commandment is not important. However, the first and greatest commandment is LOVE OF GOD. NOT LOVE OF NEIGHBOR. Vatican II puts them on the same footing.

You poor soul, Murph. You twist scripture, like Bergoglio does, to fit your departures from the faith.

Arguing the Bible can be misinterpreted for nefarious means by throwing out the accusation of "semantics" is pathetic.

Take the murderous muslims for instance, Nostra Aetate falsely states, "They adore the one God, living and subsisting in Himself; merciful and all- powerful, the Creator of heaven and earth,(5) who has spoken to men; they take pains to submit wholeheartedly to even His inscrutable decrees, just as Abraham, with whom the faith of Islam takes pleasure in linking itself, submitted to God."

The muslims falsely think they "adore the one God". Yet the muslims do not love their neighbors as themselves; ergo they do not worship a "true God"; they are incapable of doing so in their false religion. They are not honoring the "greatest and first Commandment; despite what the heretical council claims.

Already answered the first time. Stop being childish; this is now the third time you have asked the same rhetorical questions. Please grow up.
