We need only two commandments, not 10
I like simple solutions, and look for them everywhere. You know, clean, straightforward, ready to go.
So, a scholar of the law asks Jesus which commandment is the greatest. (Like, “What’s the moral axis that keeps us all from spinning out of control?”) The Teacher replies: “You shall love the hidden holy One with all your heart, soul, and mind. This is the greatest commandment. The second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
