Many thanks dear Bill. I agree with you. The comandments , which at the same
time are not comandments in the sense of "eat dog or die"  because LOVE can
never be comanded, it is always freewilling and on an individual basis  are:
Love God with all your heart and mind and soul and strength and your fellow
man ,which includes the enemy, wias yourself. And if there is anyone who can
not do this because he hates himself, then a word from Martin Buber will
help: he said  love....as theyself can also be translated as : |Love they
fellowman......he is like you "
Greetings Klaus
But if we leave out something from thius love we brake the whole thing.
