1 | Which commandment was he talking about? | 1 Tim 6:14 | SomeOtherName | 201775 | ||
Which commandment was he talking about? The 613 commandments, summarized as the 10 commandments, Deuteronomy 6 further summarized in 2 commandments, Mark 12:29 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord: 30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. 31 And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these. and finally in THE commandment (actually the one NEW commandment is the same as if you kept all 613 in SPIRIT) if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. John 13:34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. John 15:12 This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. 1 Timothy 1:5 Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned: 1 John 2:7 Brethren, I write no new commandment unto you, but an old commandment which ye had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which ye have heard from the beginning. 1 John 2:8 Again, a new commandment I write unto you, which thing is true in him and in you: because the darkness is past, and the true light now shineth. 1 John 3:23 And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment. 1 John 4:21 And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also. 2 John 1:5 And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment unto thee, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another 2 John 1:6 And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it. So THE commandment, in one word (rater than 613 commandments, or ten commandments, or 2 commandments, or even one commandment, summarized as 1 word is .... LOVE) 1 John 4:16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. 1 John 4:8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. Love |

Love of what? Trying to minimize the commandments of God seems a very tragic thing does it not. You say, "THE commandment, in one word (rater than 613 commandments, or ten commandments, or 2 commandments, or even one commandment, summarized as 1 word is .... LOVE)". Does a love of money or a love of sexual impurity or love of sin meet the commandment as you have laid out here? If our Lord was sure to specify what our love should be directed to, who are we to change that? Just asking. Stand in His grace, WOS |

Amen to that WOS!! And then it's not a sitting back in our easy chair just blowing out "love" wishes - as faith without works is dead (Jas. 2:17) so love without corresponding actions is useless (Jas. 2:15-16). Shalom Cheri |

Absolutely Cheri. He gave us two commandments as the greatest not simply one word and both of them have us “doing” something not feeling something. Stand in His grace, WOS |

True, Love requires either action or a refraining from something (which restraint is also an action) That is why the 613 are divided into two groups, positive mitzvot aseh (such as )Exodus 20:2 - To believe in God and negative mitzvot lo taaseh (such as Do not trust in any power but Yahweh. "Thou shalt have no other gods before me."(Exodus 20:3) ), each complimenting the other. Each of the mitzvot aseh is a 'to do' list, requiring action to do a thing each of the mitzvot lo taaseh is a "SHALT NOT or do not do this, requiring the "action" of restraint each of the 613 , whether to do, or a shalt not, shows an example of loving God and neighbor, however, Jesus exemplified that it is not an all-inclusive list, so if it isn't an ox in the ditch that needs returning to its master, but rather a lost bracelet or wallet, it needs to be returned to the rightful owner. |
