Interesting how you pile words about yourself and your personal years and your personal achievements and your personal abilities, rather than discuss that which God has in fact said in the topic at hand.
So back to the topic at hand. No, the Greatest Commandment of Christ the Lord is not to be found within the Ten, and neither is the Second Greatest Commandment of Christ the Lord. The Ten hang from them -- but they are not the Greatest Commandments, and they are not the New Covenant.
Do you not believe what Paul said summed up the Second Greatest commandment? He literally spells it out for us
Rom 13: 9
For the commandments, “You shall not commit adultery,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,” [
b]“You shall not bear false witness,” “You shall not covet,” and if
there is any other commandment
, are all summed up in this saying, namely,
“You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
Mat 22:37 Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ 38 This is
the first and great commandment. 39
And the second is like it:
‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.”
Where did the commandments come from that Paul quoted to sum up the Second Greatest commandment to love thy neighbor? You will find them verbatim in the Ten Commandments Exo 20:1-17
The Greatest Commandments to love God with all our heart. soul and mind, also come from the Ten Commandments.
Moses just repeated the Ten Commandments 40 years after God gave them and repeated right before entering the Promise Land for them to keep and teach their children to diligently keep and their children's children etc. and right after repeating the Ten Commandments he said this:
Deut 6:1 “Now this
is the commandment,
and these are the statutes and judgments which the Lord your God has commanded to teach you, that you may observe
them in the land which you are crossing over to possess, 2
that you may fear the Lord your God, to keep all His statutes and His commandments which I command you, you and your son and your grandson, all the days of your life, and that your days may be prolonged. 3 Therefore hear, O Israel, and [
a]be careful to observe
it, that it may be well with you, and that you may multiply greatly as the Lord God of your fathers has promised you—‘a land flowing with milk and honey.’
4 “Hear, O Israel:
The Lord our God, the Lord is one! 5 You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength.
The Greatest commandments are taken directly from the Ten Commandments which shows us how to love God and how to love our fellow man which the entire Bible hangs on. God never let love go undefined and us choosing what we feel is how to love God and how to love man, will only deceive us Jer 17:9 why we need to depend on God for everything. Can you imagine having the greatest commandments to love God with all our heart, might and soul not include thou shalt not have any other gods before Me. No of course not, either are the rest of what God said and God wrote excluded. but what the bible hangs on which when keeping through faith and love reconciles us back to God Ecc 12:13-14 Rev 22:14
