What is the greatest commandment?
The greatest commandment is to love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and the second is like it: Love your neighbor as your self.
Are these two separate commandments? 0r Are these simply different ways of Wording the same command?

The Greatest Commandment with the most import:
Worship me or burn.
All else is informed by this.

Ah god's love....
It seems that a loving god wouldn't allow such a thing. Maybe a 'hell' that's not perfect like heaven is said/considered to be, but not the current 'fire & gnashing of teeth' that's preached so often
Makes me wonder how much of this (and other parts of the belief) are 'made-up' by people and not any god...

Is the Greatest Commandment “Worship me or burn.�? Really?
Do trolls consider an ad hominem attack on God to be a kind and well reasoned response?
Did you know who's thread this is?
Are you listening to fallen angels? Still?
Is “Thou shall not judge and condemn sins and others.� the most important command?

What's this, the fourth time?
You win again, D. I.,
You have thoroughly convinced me that you are not only a PK but that your uncles were pastors as well. (Probably uncles on your mother's side, by the genetics of the X chromosome.) You are much more long-winded than even I am.
The problem with talking (writing here) so much is that you're likely to contradict yourself. First you said that some people cannot love themselves, so that messes up the prime dual-commandment. But then you got to the part where you said that none can love God more than they love themselves. Thus if anyone cannot love God but hates himself (or is neutral, Square One) w r t God, he loves God more than himself.
That is, being neutral with respect to God means loving God more than one loving oneself wherever the status is hatred towards oneself.
