Whats this - ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.” - business all about?
Can one of you Christian peeps explain this in practical terms, do you really love your neighbors? what are you defining as neighbors? is it a different kind of love?

Originally posted by stellspalfieThe story of the Good Samaritan is this, two men pass by a man dying on the road and go about their business.

Nope, seems pretty vague.
There is no emotion of "love" other than having compassion for a fellow human being. More importantly, however, was that the man he helped was his natural enemy. So this type of love is devoid of 'liking" the other person and more to do with having human compassion for other simply because they are made in the image of God.

Originally posted by DeepThoughtIt seems to me that nobody is able to follow that commandment. Hates never a good thing. Do you love your neighbour?

Originally posted by whodeyif its 'compassion' then why not just say 'compassion'...why use a word that carries such strong emotions and meaning? are you also suggesting that its about what you do (treat people like you love them) rather than what you feel inside?
