I'm not at all trying to negate either the first or the second commandment. I think what this post is trying to say is that, unless there is a relationship with God as a foundation, one's relationship with those around one will always be clouded by one's own judgements and prejudices, instead of being driven by mercy and grace.LaurelCKrieglerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08874628866547175842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157996995769370917.post-42639201890154681682011-01-30T20:28:19.602+00:002011-01-30T20:28:19.602+00:00If you mean negatively judging others, then I agre...If you mean negatively judging others, then I agree. But During His mortal ministry, Jesus Christ was asked which commandment was the greatest or most important. He answered, “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.” (Matthew 22:37-40)<br /><br />I think that means that we need to be thinking about others a lot - about how to make life easier for others.<br /><br />I'm not religious anymore, but I was once, and I still believe that the most important task we have is to make the world a better place for others - human and not.Lauri J Owenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11915434024514573480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157996995769370917.post-37784405969912874212011-01-24T23:55:33.320+00:002011-01-24T23:55:33.320+00:00Love the tension.Love the tension.Emily Calehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02565254147540303402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157996995769370917.post-86653950381040002152011-01-24T06:19:44.997+00:002011-01-24T06:19:44.997+00:00Great suspense!Great suspense!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02422942404526720212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157996995769370917.post-47748136026830222602011-01-23T23:23:44.166+00:002011-01-23T23:23:44.166+00:00I could just imagine this whole scene play out, ve...I could just imagine this whole scene play out, very detailed, great six!JoAnne Kenrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15234275353277804224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157996995769370917.post-30889161048265184142011-01-23T22:40:41.695+00:002011-01-23T22:40:41.695+00:00Six is never enough...Six is never enough...Alanna Cocahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15023188288919892588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157996995769370917.post-34041383657193505042011-01-23T20:53:38.227+00:002011-01-23T20:53:38.227+00:00ooh Now I want to know what happened back "th...ooh Now I want to know what happened back "then".
