A Question of a Jurist on the Great Commandment (Mt 22,34-40)
"The rabbis had 613 precepts in the law of Moses: 248 positive (what to do) and 365 negative (what not to do); among which they established certain categories of dignity, which gave rise to fierce controversies"
We have to read the Bible 15 minutes a day (with 20 minutes we gain partial indulgences) with humility and seeing what it tells us, how it enlightens us, always submitting what we understand to the teaching of the Church according to Holy Tradition. Our Lady of the Roses tells us that Faith and Tradition go together, if we destroy one, we destroy the other. But making a summary of what, and what not to do, sounds to me like programming a robot (0101100...) it does not sound like a child looking for the will of his Father, understanding His wisdom…

A priest (most bad priests have a Jewish friend or a Protestant friend) once said that in synagogues arguments are so ugly that they are capable of throwing chairs over each other's heads. It is that they do not seek the will of God but the arrogance of winning arguments.

Here St. Matthew tells us (writing what the Holy Spirit was dictating to him, as the Messages of Our Lady of the Roses showed us) that the jurist (scribe) wanted to tempt Jesus Christ. Some meanings of tempt are: To examine and test someone, by examining his perseverance or strength. That is, the lawyer wanted to examine the wisdom of Jesus Christ or to test the constancy or strength of that wisdom.
Or perhaps, if he had bad intentions, he also wanted some answer from Jesus Christ that would then be attacked by the groups that participated in those discussions, so that there would be people who would attack Him verbally or that He would get into those endless discussions.
Or perhaps, he also wanted to tempt Him by posing as a potential future friend since the OT says that before accepting a new friend, you must try him.

But Jesus' answer is luminous, brilliant, not only did He give him the answer but we read in the Gospel of Jesus Christ according to St. Luke that the lawyer praised from the heart the answer of Jesus, Who not only told him what the first Commandment was but also the second and put in order all the Law and the Prophets. The whole Law and the Prophets hang on those two most important Commandments, Jesus says.
--
There are misguided people who say that if you keep those two commandments, you don't need to read the Old Testament anymore. But Jesus did not say that, but, "On these two commandments hang the whole law and the prophets" everything must be ordered according to these two great commandments.
And we must also order our lives. If we love someone, we want to talk to him every day and go out with that person on the weekends. If we love God we must go to meet Him daily and give Him time to be with Him. Jesus Christ commands us in the Messages of Our Lady of the Roses: Daily Communion and Frequent Confession. And Our Lady tells us that we should worship Jesus Christ one hour a day and meditate on God the Father another hour a day. It cannot be that we give hours to TV or bad social networks and not to the one we should love with all our soul, mind and heart.
--
It is noteworthy that the second great Commandment is not among the 10 Commandments. It is in the book of Leviticus, as if humbly hidden. Remember that Jesus Christ told us that He did not come to destroy the Law and the Prophets but to fulfill it. And in Matthew 5:19 He said: "Therefore whoever breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men in this way, will be considered the least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever works and teaches, the same shall be considered great in the kingdom of heaven."

We also have to love our neighbor.
If he hurts us, we should ask for advice from responsible, kind-hearted people on how to act. And since we must also love ourselves, if that person hurts us we must stay away from him. If he is a murderer, criminal, etc., he must go to jail so that he does not do more harm to others, but we must always pray for those bad people so that they convert or better, also offer sacrifices to God for their conversion. To love is to give, Our Lady of the Roses tells us. Out of charity (Christian love) we must do everything possible on our part to convert him. We must also protect ourselves spiritually with the Sacramentals since many people around us are directly and simply satanic.

Our neighbor is the one who is close to us, within reach. God did not say, "Thou shalt love thy brother," who would be a blood brother or a relative or someone with the same religion; but anyone around us,

For the Jews, in their Talmud, we Catholics are like animals that can be stolen or killed, they think they are the superiors. They have hated the prophets (they persecuted all of them and killed many), they have hated the Son of God made man and then His Church so much that they have already lost their way. But we are all children of Adam, of Noah, children of God who created us. The Talmud is satanic.

It is so important to do good to those around us, that Jesus told us a parable in St. Luke that is very clear, the parable of the rich man and Lazarus (Lk 16,20-31). Read it, please.
In that parable we see that it does not say that the rich man stole or killed, perhaps he fulfilled the 10 Commandments, but poor Lazarus wanted to feed on the crumbs that fell from the rich man's table and he was not even given that. Perhaps the rich man feasted with his friends. But the neighbor is not only our circle of friends but everyone we have close to us anywhere even if we do not know him.
At that time people did not eat with cutlery but with their fingers. And people wiped their fingers with bread and threw those bits at the dogs that were around. And poor Lazarus, wanting to eat those pieces of bread, no one gave them to him, in fact, the dogs fed on the blood of his wounds.
The rich man ended up in hell. Not all Jews went to the rest of the just, only those who deserved it. Now no one goes to Heaven if they do not believe that Jesus Christ is God and if they do not obey the Messages of Our Lady of the Roses.
Nor are things as the Jews think of it, that "as it is here, so it will be there." They thought that the rich were blessed by God and therefore would be in a comfortable place in eternal life.
The rich man, being in hell, St. Luke tells us, continued in his sins wanting to rule over Lazarus. But there is an abyss that cannot be crossed between one and the other. And there is eternal justice after life in this world.

The rich man asked Abraham to send Lazarus to his father's house, to tell them how things are, since he did not want his five brothers to go to that "place of torture." And what does Abraham say to him? "They have Moses and the prophets; listen to them"
--
I have already said it many times: Our Lady of the Roses tells us that we must read the Bible 15 minutes a day. Yes, and we can add that when you finish reading it from end to end you should read it again a couple of more times. And then, when you read it at random, if you are in a state of grace, you will understand much more the things of God.

There are people who are converted with miracles, with the beautiful wisdom of the Word of God, with the Resurrection of Jesus Christ... but there are others who do not even convert with that.
--
Jews, Muslims, and separated brothers believe more what their leaders wrote than what God clearly taught in the Bible. That is why Jesus Christ said in Jn 5:46-47:
"For if you believed Moses, you would believe Me, since he wrote of Me. But if you do not believe his writings, how can you believe My words?"
--
We are to love our neighbor, e.g., by blessing him when we are insulted. We are not masochists, nor people who like to be humiliated, but by blessing those who hurt us, God blesses us and our loved ones very much.
--
This civilization does not believe that it is a grave sin to betray the 10 Commandments, to fall into homosexuality, abortion, not to love God... so it falls into the trap of the devil who drags it to hell for all eternity.

Believe in Jesus Christ, obey Him according to the Messages of Our Lady of the Roses.
