I think we all know what the Ten Commandments are since they are
usually found on display outside of Courthouses.
And Jesus' Two Great Commandments:
Love God
Love Your Neighbor - as yourself.
~~~
The discussion I propose here is:
Can we replace the Ten Commandments with Jesus' Two Great Commandments?
I will start the discussion off tomorrow first thing.
Anyone reading this and wanting to start the discussion tonight may do so -
and I will check back later - and if there is any discussion I will respond.
However it's been a long day for stidh - so I will refrain from original
dicussion until tomorrow.

I'm not so sure that your neighbor will want you "loving" his wife/husband while they're away at the office.
ReplyDeleteHe probably won't want you loving G_d so much that you send him/her to go "be with G_d," either.
ReplyDeleteCan I love my neighbors "stuff"?
ReplyDeleteThersites - First:
ReplyDeleteI have never loved anybody's husband while the wife was away at the office.
I am married and have never cheated on my husband - except in my mind.
And let me tell you that it is getting out of control right now.
But I will also say this:
I have never cheated on the person that I am cheating with in my mind - and I never will.
becuase I am in love with that person forever - even if he is in love with her.

The thing about loving your neighbor's stuff is that it can lead to envy and jealousy.
Envy and jealousy are negative attributes and certainly unhealty for the mind - but it gets really bad when a person is so jealous and envious that they turn to stealing their neighbor's stuff - and that is breaking anogther of the Ten Commandments.
