The Greatest Commandment, Bible Thumper Version

"Teacher, what is the greatest commandment?"

Jesus replied, "To be able to always quote a verse to prove your point; this is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is just like the first, to react without really understanding what you are reacting to. All the law and prophets and your pathetic chances of salvation hang on these two commandments. Don't screw up." Mt 22/36-40, BTV (Bible Thumper's Version)

 

Clearly all the other versions are mistranslated. Probably dropped a jot or tittle, which we all know is the unforgivable sin; the Holy Spirit hates that.

The Logical Place To Look

Given the two greatest commandments:
  1. Love the Lord your God with every particle and wave of your being, natural or otherwise;
  2. In the same way, love your neighbor as yourself
The three most obvious sins are obviously failing to love God, yourself and others.

Since identity is key to relationship it also follows that three blatant sins would be our refusal and/or failure to let

  1. God be God,
  2. you be yourself, or
  3. others be themselves.
If you're having a hard time living a life of love, here's a good place to look. Where do you need to let these happen?
