Still waiting for a response here from anyone.  It seems to me that a “brother” is a fellow believer, and some of the commandments for a brother would be different (throughout the Bible) from those of a “neighbor”, which I think would be someone who is not necessarily a brother. What do you think? Izzy

If they weren’t different why the different words? Just wondering. Izzy

In the pursuit of the GREATEST COMMANDMENT(S) as delineated by Messiah, are you suggesting there is a difference?

Slade, Do you think there is a difference in who the Bible is talking about when it calls people (1) brother (2) neighbor? Izzy

I would say that #15 could be modified (through cultural bias) to include statements similar to: "Not to hate fellow Christians," etc.

 

However, one could use the command as it stand as permission to hate those outside one's "group."

 

This, then, is countered by love your neighbor as yourself and do good to those who hate and use you once we determine that all of mankind of our brother.
