“Notice that “love thy neighbor” - a wildly popular piece of wisdom found in the Bible - is a command. Jesus is commanding us to love. Now, Jesus understood that emotions and feelings cannot be commanded; they cannot be controlled. He must be saying that love isn’t the way you feel about someone, it’s the way your treat someone. Love isn’t something that happens to you, it’s something that you make happen. It’s a choice.”
Cole Ryan“Love thy neighbor as much as you love thyself.”
Lailah Gifty Akita“Love thy neighbor yes, but love thyself first.”
Solange nicole“There is no greater life, than to love God. And to love thy neighbor as thyself.”
Lailah Gifty Akita“We are not taught "love thy neighbor unless their skin is a different color from yours " or "love thy neighbor unless they don't make money as you do" or "love thy neighbor unless they don't share your belies." We are taught "love thy neighbor". No exceptions. We are all in this together - every single one of us. And the only way we are going to survive as a society is through compassion. A Great Community does not mean we all think the same things or do the same things. It simply means we are willing to work together and are willing to love despite our differences.”
David Levithan, Wide Awake“All of Christ’s philosophical ideas can be compressed into one simple phrase – Love thy neighbor.”
Abhijit Naskar, Neurons of Jesus: Mind of A Teacher, Spouse & Thinker“Doctrines, no matter which path of human endeavor they come from, must serve the humans, not the humans serving the doctrines. “Love thy neighbor” - is a great doctrine, but more importantly, it is an unparalleled piece of magnificent human teaching – as such, whoever practices it, becomes a better human, a real human. On the other hand, there is another doctrine that says “God may purify the believers and destroy the disbelievers” – now would you, as a real conscientious human being, consider this one as a great beneficial doctrine or teaching for humanity? Far from being great, doctrines like this are the ones that compel the human society to forget its innate humanism.”
Abhijit Naskar, Principia Humanitas“Say, you teach a five year old child a few verses from the Bible. And after memorizing them, he will become a part scholar in Christian theology. But that won’t make him realize what Jesus actually meant when he said 'love thy neighbor'.”
Abhijit Naskar, In Search of Divinity: Journey to The Kingdom of Conscience“The commandment was to ‘Love thy neighbor,’ not ‘Love thy government.”
Chris Penningroth“I hate organized religion. I think you have to love thy neighbor as thyself. I think you have to pick your own God and be true to him. I always say 'him' rather than 'her.' Maybe it's because of my generation, but I don't like the idea of a female God. I see God as a benevolent male.”
