Scott McNight’s book “The Jesus Creed” says that it is morally dangerous to live by Jesus’ commands “love God, love others.” There are 613 laws (commands and prohibitions) in the Old Testament. I have always thought that 613 was way too many and represented an example of religion gone wrong. It occurred to me today that if I really live by Jesus’ two commands then 613 is not nearly enough. To really love God and others will effect every decision I make for every day of my life.
613 – is that all!
