"The entire law and all the demands of the prophets are based on these two commandments.”
A Bible commentary is a series of notes explaining the meaning of passages of Scripture. A commentary may explain the language used in a section of text. Or it may discuss the historical background. Almost all commentaries attempt to explain the passage in terms of some system of theology. In other words, the commentary is an explanation of how the Bible fits together and what it means.
In Matthew 22 JESUS was basicly saying that the Bible is like a commentary. The focal point of the commentary is to teach people two ideas. #1 There is a GOD and people need to respect that idea. #2 Thoes other people that are around you...thoes people need to be dealt with out of Love and respect.
I have visited churches of a few diffrent beliefs, and I feel that I have my prefrences. But at the end of the day people need to be taught to Love GOD and Love there fellow man. Although there are certain so called 'christian denominations' that I do not think teach Love GOD and Love man.
The simple idea of promoting Love is not just found in Matthew 22. James 1:27 says "Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this: to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction and to keep oneself unstained by the world."
According to James 1, he could have talked about anything. The number of church pews were not mentioned...I dont know what James was thinking when he did not mention which style of worship was the best, and its a sham that he did not mention the baptistry. In fact about the only thing that was mentioned was 'care for the needy/down and out.
I believe that is what JESUS meant in John 13:34-35 when HE said "new" (the whole Bible is a funnel. The funnel drains down to one overarching concept *LOVE*) 34 “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. 35 By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”
So lets discus, feel free to write me back with what you think "new" means (The Greek adjective "kainos" is used to describe something that is new in nature, different from the usual, better than the old, or unprecedented. It often implies a qualitative newness, emphasizing the freshness or uniqueness of the object or concept it describes. In the New Testament, "kainos" is frequently used to convey the transformative and renewing work of God through Jesus Christ, highlighting the new covenant, new creation, and new life believers have in Him.)

Biblical article. On Arrogance
What does the Bible say about arrogance?
The words arrogance, arrogant, proud, and haughty are mentioned over 200 times in the NIV Bible. And in practically every occurrence, it is a behavior or attitude detested by God. The Bible tells us those who are arrogant and have a haughty heart are an abomination to Him: “Everyone who is arrogant in heart is an abomination to the Lord; be assured, he will not go unpunished” (Proverbs 16:5). Of the seven things the Bible tells us that God hates, “haughty eyes” [“a proud look,” NKJV] is the first one listed (Proverbs 6:16-19). Jesus Himself said, “What comes out of a person is what defiles him,” and then goes on to list the thirteen characteristics of those who are outside of God’s favor, with arrogance being considered alongside sexual immorality and murder (Mark 7:20-23).
There are two Greek forms of the word arrogance used in the New Testament, essentially meaning the same. Huperogkos means “swelling” or “extravagant” as used in “arrogant words” (2 Peter 2:18; Jude 1:16). The other is phusiosis, meaning a “puffing up of the soul” or “loftiness, pride” (2 Corinthians 12:20). It is incumbent upon believers to recognize that being arrogant or having a pompous attitude is antithetical to godliness (2 Peter 1:5-7). Arrogance is nothing more than an overt display of one’s sense of self-importance (2 Timothy 3:2). It is akin to that “it’s all about me” mindset that says, “The world revolves around me” (Proverbs 21:24).
Instead of arrogance, the Bible teaches us the opposite. In writing to the church in Corinth, Paul describes the love. Of the many facets of God’s love, arrogance is the reverse: “Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant” (1 Corinthians 13:4; cf. Romans 12:3). Being boastful and having that “I’m better than you” attitude reeks of intimidation and destroys our relationships with others. However, Jesus taught us to put others before self: “But whoever would be great among you must be your servant, and whoever would be first among you must be slave of all. For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many” (Mark 10:43-45).
The apostle Paul echoed these same sentiments in his letter to the church in Philippi: “Do nothing from rivalry or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves” (Philippians 2:3). This is a vast contrast from the “dog-eat-dog,” competitive nature of our world today. The Christian’s behavior towards others should imitate that of Christ who taught us to wash one another’s feet (John 13:14). Where the world pushes us to strive to reach the top and says that “he who has the most toys wins,” Jesus commands us to be different: “For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted” (Luke 14:11; cf. James 4:6).
Regarding our attitudes towards God and our fellow-man, God gives us two promises. First, that the arrogant will be punished (Proverbs 16:5; Isaiah 13:11), and, second, “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven” (Matthew 5:3). For, in truth, “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble” (1 Peter 5:5; cf. Proverbs 3:34).
Moonlight, I was trying to carry on a conversation with Travis but you bullied your way in to attack me, falsely accuse me and harass me. This has been you mode of operation ever since I exposed your false teachings.
Yes, 👉👉you are indeed a false teacher👈👈 because👈👈 you teach false things that are clearly antithetical to the Bible.
Here are just some of the false things you teach and endorse. You also promote false teachers who teach these things.
1. You falsely claim that Christians can lose their salvation😳 NOWHERE in the Bible is a 👉true believer👈 said to lose his ETERNAL security.
2. You also falsely teach and claim that miracles like the ones Jesus performed are still taking place today but neither you nor any false teacher who believes the same as you have shown a SINGLE modern day miracle 👉👉that even remotely resembles the MIGHTY miracles that Jesus performed👈. 🙄
3. You also falsely believe God speaks to people today in a manner similar to the way in which he spoke to the Prophets and the Apostles. This is rank heresy and worse yet, you are in favor of👉👉adding false words to the PURE Words of God that He truly spoke👈👈‼️‼️😑
4. You and the false teachers you like falsely claim to speak in tongues like what took place in the early church. But linguistics has proven that your false teachers actually speak in gibberish (a pagan imitation of tongues ie languages)‼️‼️😳😑
It’s worth noting that MANY FALSE religions (Muslims, Hindus, Mormons and others engage in the same kind of ecstatic nonsensical gibberish‼️‼️‼️ False and/or ignorant believers think gibberish is the type of linguistic phenomenon that occurred at Pentecost ‼️‼️😑😑☹️
Yes, You are a false teacher and the sooner you realize enough to admit it the better off you’ll become😇
