Some sects interpret that as only a commandment for the Jews to love their fellow Jews. Some narrow that further to their specific tribe (literally, their neighbors). Some say it means that you have an obligation to evangelize to your neighbors, as that's the best way to express one's 'love'. Some say loving thy neighbor is a byproduct of the bigger command to love god above all things. Some say it means to live justly and strive for equality between your neighbor and yourself. Some say it even includes your enemies, even those actively trying to do you harm.I'm having trouble finding multiple interpretations of this:
You seem to have a pretty narrow view of that passage if you think there's no disagreement across Christianity on what it means.
The Parable of the Good Samaritan
25 On one occasion an expert in the law stood up to test Jesus. “Teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?”
26 “What is written in the Law?” he replied. “How do you read it?”
27 He answered, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’[c]; and, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’[d]”
28 “You have answered correctly,” Jesus replied. “Do this and you will live.”
29 But he wanted to justify himself, so he asked Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”
30 In reply Jesus said: “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he was attacked by robbers. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him and went away, leaving him half dead. 31 A priest happened to be going down the same road, and when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side. 32 So too, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. 33 But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him. 34 He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey, brought him to an inn and took care of him. 35 The next day he took out two denarii[e] and gave them to the innkeeper. ‘Look after him,’ he said, ‘and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you may have.’
36 “Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?”
37 The expert in the law replied, “The one who had mercy on him.”
Jesus told him, “Go and do likewise.”
Yeah but what breaks the whole jesus thing is even historians agree that a biblical jesus never existed. Whats even more damning against christianity
there has been jesus like figures before in mythology. yeshua or jesus never even existed or even died there is not historical evidence outside of the bible.
Also mary his mother also never existed either. So yeah the bible its a bunch of lies/metaphors.
Atheism is a non-prophet organization join today.
