Yes, John 15-12 "A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.
The verses surrounding it elaborate on the concept and are beautiful reminders of true deep love...even if humanity does sometimes test the Jesus right out of you ;-)
I suppose the other commandments would not be so difficult to follow if all of mankind could understand and practice that type of love on a grand scale.
Many religions that hold the ten commandments as law don't recognize the new testament so I will not insist it is the 11th even if it is my favorite.
SMITH Magazine brings you an entirely new kind of six-word experience: Six-Word Questions. This is the place to pose a question to the SMITH community from, "What are your favorite Six-Word quotations" to challenging members to pen Six-Word Obituaries to the recently departed to Six-Word jokes and any other Six-Word question you can dream up. You can even request that the responses be in six words. Everyone has a question—what's yours?
