Jesus also said allot of other things that people ignore, like giving away everything to the poor and how praying in public is something only hypocrites do. So, there is quite a bit people choose to ignore where the bible and other such scriptures are concerned. ;)
Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”Matt22:37
“What is written in the Law?”Jesus replied. “How do you read it?” “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’ and, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’” “You have answered correctly,” Jesus replied. “Do this and you will live.”Luke 10:25
For whoever loves others has fulfilled the law. The commandments, “You shall not commit adultery,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,” “You shall not covet,” and whatever other command there may be, are summed up in this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”Love does no harm to a neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law. Romans 13:8
We, like every other species that wishes to pass their DNA onto future generations, are very self involved.
Talking of hypocrisy, how can a true republican be a true Christian? ;-)
