Sorry. No sale. The statistical numbers on the appearance of "obey" and "obedience" in a concordance do not alter the extraordinary value of the New Covenant and Jesus teaching of the new commandment of "love" together with the revelation that God is Love. The Holy Spirit who leads the Church into all Truth has made it abundantly clear for the Church that Christ Jesus brought the Good News of God's Love written in His own Blood.

Was Paul in error then?

Rom 13:9 For: "Do not commit adultery; do not murder; do not steal; do not bear false witness; do not lust;" and if there is any other commandment, it is summed up in this word, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."

Paul couldn't be any clearer, he sums up the visible signs of love for your neighbors as fullfillment of this part of the 10 commandments.

Christ himself equates love of God as keeping God's commandments.

Do you have a better definition of love father?

Yes, I do. Look at Jesus' crucified upon the cross and see how much He loves us.
