1 | Which commandment was he talking about? | 1 Tim 6:14 | Wild Olive Shoot | 201780 | ||
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 |

2 | Which commandment was he talking about? | 1 Tim 6:14 | skccab | 201783 | ||
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 |

3 | Which commandment was he talking about? | 1 Tim 6:14 | Wild Olive Shoot | 201790 | ||
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 |

4 | Which commandment was he talking about? | 1 Tim 6:14 | SomeOtherName | 201795 | ||
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. |
