"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.)
First, loving God requires knowing Him, and that knowledge begins with His Word. It may sound glib, but to know Him is to love Him.
To love God is to worship and praise Him. "It is written: 'Worship the Lord your God and serve him only'" (Luke 4:8). The book of Psalms provides many beautiful examples of how to worship and praise our Creator (e.g., Psalms 8, 19, 23, 24, 67, 99, 117, and 150).
To love God is to put Him first. The number-one commandment is to love God “with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength” (Mark 12:30). It’s an undivided love. God is our priority. If we love God with all our hearts, souls, minds, and strength, then we won’t allow other things to crowd in. Our love for God is manifested by loving people (Mark 12:31), but we do not love the things of the world. “Earth has nothing I desire besides you” (Psalm 73:25). We cannot love this present world and God at the same time (1 John 2:15); love for what the world offers can lead us astray (2 Timothy 4:10).
To love God is to desire Him, to yearn for His righteousness, His Word, and His grace. “As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, O God” (Psalm 42:1). Once we have tasted and seen that the Lord is good (Psalm 34:8), we want more of Him. If we love God, we will be like Mary of Bethany, “who sat at the Lord’s feet listening to what he said” (Luke 10:39). If we love God, the psalmist’s description of the Word of God will resonate within us: “[it is] more precious than gold, than much pure gold; . . . sweeter than honey, than honey from the comb” (Psalm 19:10).
Suppose a man is separated from his sweetheart and receives a letter from her. His first action will be to eagerly open the letter and pore over its contents. His love for his beloved will naturally cause him to love her correspondence with him. The same is true with our love for God’s Word. Because we love the Author, we love His message to us. We read it avidly and often, we hold it close, and we hide its words in our hearts.
Finally, to love God is to obey Him. Jesus tells us, “If you love me you will obey what I command” (John 14:15, 23; 15:10; 1 John 5:3). However, this is not a matter of merely following rules and registering good deeds. It is about having God’s love written indelibly on our hearts. We naturally wish to please those we love. When we love God, we will want to please Him and obey His commands eagerly. “I delight to do your will” (Psalm 40:8).
Moonlight, being a bully and falsely accusing people who disagree with you is not the best way to prove yourself.
I’m very sorry if it offends you when I point out your lack of biblical knowledge and the lack of biblical understanding of your teachers.
It saddens me even more when you or anyone else who is like you is led into false teachings. This doesn’t have to be that way.
It’s obvious you haven’t been trained to think critically. The best thing you could do now is try to make the best of it and learn to think more clearly. Otherwise you’ll just keep parroting the false teachings you’ve learned thus becoming a more bitter false teacher than you already are.
Sadly here are the facts regarding your current state of mind.
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 come to grips with that reality the better off you’ll be 😇😇🙏
