The Great Commandment (or Greatest Commandment) is a term used in the New Testament to describe the first of two commandments cited by Jesus in Matthew 22:35–40, and Mark 12:28–34. These two commandments are taken from the Law of Moses in the Old Testament and are commonly seen as important to Christian ethics.
In Matthew, when asked "which is the great commandment in the law?", the Bible reports that Jesus answered, "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind", before also referring to a second commandment, "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself". Most Christian denominations consider these two commandments the core of the Christian religion.
This exactly what everyone should base their life upon, to find consonance with God in the here after!================================================================
This is not a political question or religious question or an attempt to make you do anything except to use your free God given right to choose the truth!
Freedom of choice is a free gift from Almighty God and the evil of this world wants to limit or stop you from using it correctly!
If you can not accept the Absolute Truth then you way is very limited...
But once you believe and have absolute faith in the Word of God in your life the Holy Spirit can come and work in your life!!
Amen!

This evening God placed a man upon my pathway...
He was originally from the Congo in Africa; and was canvasing our neighborhood, I offered him to come into our house and get a drink...
Since we had just finished supper offered him some of our fresh cooked ribs,with his cup of White Cranberry juice and we spoke...
I explained that there were two opposing views in the world:
1) Free Choice and Liberty given by Almighty God to each person!
2) Control and domination brought by evil from the Devil!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We spoke on the basic principles of the Gospel of Christ and how it effected us in this earthly existence! I shared the importance of learning the difference between man's laws and the principles of Almighty God. Explained that there were literally thousands of systems in the world which captured and bound people in useless pursuits which are used by evil...
I explained that most of these pursuits in and of themselves were not the problem; rather it was the falling into and then being held captive by them was...
Ex. sports, games, entertainment, health practices, or even religious systems were - like so many things in life each has a limited place but none should become the total dominating purpose of our life!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
He said that I had answered a couple of questions about life that he had sought for years, as he was raised in a Christian church...
I discussed how God exist in the trinity form Father, Son and Holy Spirit; just as we humans exist in a trinity form of body, mind (heart) or soul and Spirit!
We discussed that there is a great difference between religion ( the system of some form of worship to a higher being } and the true Relationship with Christ in True Christianity!
Because Laws do not change people or make things better any more that a clock controls time... A friend some years ago have explained to me that there have been laws for thousands of years against many things; like Murder, Rape, Lies, and Stealing; but if you have noticed this has not stopped the crimes or sins from happening!
Laws do not change people; it is only when you change people's hearts and minds - like coming to accept Jesus as your ( only way ) Savior that you can be-changed through HIM...
Much like a clock does not change or control Time; at best it can only keep up or tell the true movement of Time!
Here is where you come to love your neighbor in practicality...
** So with that I shared a thumb drive with almost a hundred hours of True Gospel teaching for my visitor to read and pray to enlighten him...
He ask why I would do this my reply was because God has placed you upon my pathway of life!
Then he thanked me and disappeared into the night!
Have you been aware of the people whom God has placed upon your pathway of life? If not then perhaps now would be the time to start looking out for them...
Love for Others Hebrews 13:2
1 Let love of the brethren continue.
2 Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by this some have entertained angels without knowing it. {I have met some of God's messengers}
3 Remember the prisoners, as though in prison with them, and those who are ill-treated, since you yourselves also are in the body.
" Where will you spend Eternity? "
