The Bible tells us that Jesus said that the two most important commandments are to love the Lord, our God, with all our heart and soul and mind and strength, and to love our neighbor as we love ourselves. While Jesus clearly meant there is one Lord, one God, Jesus left to each person's heart and soul and mind and strength the development of his or her understanding of, and relationship with, God.
Also left to us are several big questions: Who is our neighbor?
What does it mean – what sentiment and what actions are needed - to love our neighbor as ourselves?
What basis is there to think that Jesus meant to limit “our neighbor” to those who share our beliefs, who love us back, and who wish us no harm?
