ONE OF THE PUZZLING QUESTIONS likely to turn up sooner or later to vex the seeking Christian is how he can fulfill the scriptural command to love God with all his heart and his neighbor as himself.

This is especially true for Libtards who it seems hate themselves as well as others.

Problem is we can’t do it on our own.

It’s that revelation of our inadequacy that, hopefully, pushes us into God’s arms.

This is an impossibility in our human condition..

This is an Old Testament command to Israel ( remember the gospels are actually old Testament in that they speak of the time before the death, resurrection and ascension) The new Testament starts in Pentecost ..This prayer is the Jewish Shema.

Keep in mind that NO ONE can keep the commandments of God.. That is why Jesus kept them perfectly for us.. and He loves the Father with his whole heart mind and heart and His neighbor as Himself
