Jesus prioritized 'people' over religious beliefs and values. The moment somebody places their religious beliefs and values over another person, they go backwards. Loving God, and demonstrating your love for God by how you treat other people, is at the very center of the center of the center of what it means to be a follower of Jesus. Do these things and you don't have to be concerned about much of nothin' else regarding The Bible or Christianity...everything else is filler material and commentary.
I think the point of the whole Bible is that we CANNOT do those things; as a race we are depraved and unable to do right by God & neighbors apart from the regenerating power of God in Christ thru the Holy Spirit.
