Like I said earlier, go back and read the *entire* Bible and get back with us. ... If it was as you say, why would Jesus have bothered to breath the 1st Great Commandment? He could have just summarized it by saying the 2nd.
Matthew 22:36-40 English Standard Version (ESV)
36 “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?” 37 And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. 38 This is the great and first commandment. 39 AND A SECOND IS *LIKE IT*: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. 40 On these two commandments depend ALL the Law and the Prophets.”
“Like it” means ‘just as important’ or ‘equal to’...it means you can’t have the first without the second. Jesus’ entire ministry on earth, and the books that we collectively call the New Testament, teach this. And He clearly taught that the collective Old Testament books “hang” on this as well. That’s the “*entire* Bible”.


Every day on this side of the ground is a win.
