A New Thing? (hardly!)

[Jethro Bodine]

Where does Paul say that.. 'And Paul says loving our neighbor is to [fulfill all] of God's commandments.

"14 For the whole Law is fulfilled in one word, in the statement, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.†(Galatians 5:14 NASB)

When we love (thus fulfilling God's commandments) we show ourselves to have the truth and the love of God in us.'

Paul is the one who said that love for others fulfills God's commandments. John is the one who said that when we love others we show that we have the truth and love of God in us. I posted the references.

Then why did Christ say that the FIRST GREAT COMMAND is to put GOD FIRST??? Matt. 22:37-38

'Keep Sabbath' is NOT the same command as 'Love God'. 'Keep Sabbath' is an expression of 'Love God', just like all the other commands of God are an expression of 'Love God'. Jesus is the one who said 'love your neighbor as yourself' is, among the commands of God, next in line after 'Love God', but you are saying 'Keep Sabbath' is next in line after 'Love God' in direct contradiction to Jesus.

Furthermore, Paul says that when we love our neighbor as ourself we fulfill (legally satisfy) all the commandments. But you say that is not true.

And loving all? How about the Luke 12:47-48 verses? Or Obadiah in saying that... '... shall swallow down, and BE AS THOUGH THEY HAD NOT BEEN.' ??

How about them? You'll have to explain your point.
