Love your neighbor as yourself

[Jesus_is_Saint]

Galatians 5:
14 The entire law is summed up in a single command: "Love your neighbor as yourself."

Where did the OT says the same thing?
Did Moses teach us to love your neighbor as yourself?

 

[John Hyperspace]

Galatians 5:
14 The entire law is summed up in a single command: "Love your neighbor as yourself."

Where did the OT says the same thing?
Did Moses teach us to love your neighbor as yourself?

Leviticus 19:18

And if God didn't state this in the OT?

 

[Godlovesmetwo]

The problem being that if you don't love yourself in the way God intended, you wont love your neighbour in the same way.

 

[Endtime Survivors]

Enemy loving was also there:

2 Kings 6:22-23

(Compare with Romans 12:20)

 

[Jesus_is_Saint]

Who is my neighbor?

 

[Greg J.]

Everyone is your neighbor in this context. It can be nothing else, since Jesus is teaching to have a heart of love. One's heart doesn't toggle on/off depending on who is in front of you. Jesus died for sinners. We are to have that kind of heart. Sacrifice what you want for what another needs.

 

[Jesus_is_Saint]

Muslims are my neighbors?
Have I to love them?

 

[Quid est Veritas?]

Muslims are my neighbors?
Have I to love them?

Yes.

Loving your neighbour does not mean condoning their actions though. Remember Jesus threw over the tables of the money changers and chased them away with a whip. Sometimes the most loving thing is to tell someone they are in error.

Who is my neighbor?

Bible Gateway passage: Luke 10:25-37 - English Standard Version

A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he fell among robbers ...

 

[Jesus_is_Saint]

Will God reward me if I love my neighbor?

 

[Open Heart]

Muslims are my neighbors?
Have I to love them?

Jews and Samaritans were enemies, yet the good Samaritan was a good neighbor to the suffering and helpless Jew on the road to Jericho.
