Was it John that called the Pharisees a generation of vipers ?
They we're running to go to the water baptism meeting without a mind to do away with the
613 old law ordinances now.
They figured their Jewish roots to Abraham gave them an inheritance in heaven .
That's why John called them a generation of vipers. Who warned you to flee from the wrath of God he mentioned. He told them to bring forth fruits met for repentance.

just the 10 commandments and the 2 greatest commandments only----John 8:32 and John 8:31 and again Matthew 5:17-20.

kind only----Matthew 7:6 and 2 Cor. 6:14-17 and 2 Cor. 4:3 and Titus 3:10.
The Lord said Himself..."IF YOU LOVE ME, KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS" ... and "IF YOU WILL HAVE LIFE, KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS" ...
He does not consider the "version" of love so many have as the "LOVE" He requires for you to have eternal life unless it is in keeping His commandments.
2. Love the Lord with all your heart, mind, soul and strength.
The 613 or so old law ordinances is replaced today ----John 1:17.
What is grace and truth today?
Certainly the offering of an animal provided grace in ancient times .
I reject this savage and barbarous belief that the deliberate taking of an innocent baby animal (lamb) is in any way an act of grace . . . especially not to (or from) ANY God who would require it as a sacrifice!!!Perpetuating this ancient barbarity in the minds of civilized people is a crime against humanity, IMO. Belief in a God who would demand such barbarity for ANY reason is unconscionable. Our God IS love and could never countenance nor demand any such thing for ANY reason. Christ commanded us to "love God and each other" daily and repent when we don't, period! All this ancient barbarism and superstition needs to be erased from the hearts and minds of humanity forever.

Love does no harm to its neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.
Loving man is loving God - loving God is loving man. You cannot do one without doing the other.
This is what Jesus taught in the parable of the Good Samaritan.
"The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.' You cannot do one without the other.
The Lord said Himself..."IF YOU LOVE ME, KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS" ... and "IF YOU WILL HAVE LIFE, KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS" ...
He does not consider the "version" of love so many have as the "LOVE" He requires for you to have eternal life unless it is in keeping His commandments.
God that said love me and not steal is the same God that said love me and get water baptised.
God that said love me and not lie is the same God that said love me and put on Christian attire.
God that said love me and not do adultery is the same God that said love me and rebuke your brethren in bible error.
God that said love your neighbor as you love yourself is the same God that said love me and segregate from unbelievers today.
God that said love me and not bear false witness is the same God that said love me and have a Christian
marriage.
God that said love me and not judge is the same God that said love me and not pray for unbelievers in the world.
We're not bound to the 613 old law ordinances today----Ephesians 2:8.
We are accountable for every other law in the bible or commandment---Matthew 5:17-20.
Least mean the least today-----Matthew 5:17-20 and Romans 3:1-4.
Obvously the least not the 10 commandments today----John 8:32.
While not 613 laws to account for today ; certainly more then 12 today-----John 8:32.
Actually when you love the Lord with all your heart, mind, soul and strength this will actually cover the least of his commandments for today: ( Matthew 5:17-20)
Water baptism---John 3:5
Christian attire--1 Peter 3:3
Christian marriage---Romans 7:2-3
Brethren rebuke---James 5:20
Segregation---2 Cor. 6:14-17
etc, etc, etc.
They have nothing to do with the 613 old law ordinances did away with today---John 8:32.
If you break the least of his commandments and teach men so you shall be the least in the kingdom of
God-----Matthew 5:17-20.
More then 12 commandments to love God today-----John 8:32 and John 5:39.
God that said love me and not steal is the same God that said love me and get water baptised.
God that said love me and not lie is the same God that said love me and put on Christian attire.
God that said love me and not do adultery is the same God that said love me and rebuke your brethren in bible error.
God that said love your neighbor as you love yourself is the same God that said love me and segregate from unbelievers today.

For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it.

Love the Lord with all your heart, mind, soul and strength.
Love your neighbor as you love yourself.
FYI...this isn't PART of Christianity...this is ALL of it and this is where Christianity usually fails and why people no longer take Christians seriously anymore because they are too busy judging and condemning when they should just be LOVING OTHERS.
Jesus said do these commandments and EVERYTHING else will be added to you...that's all there is to it.
