Love thy neighbour

[Cahn333]

Love thy neighbour

We have no enemies, all as neighbours within this universal brotherhood. There may be people who wish you harm but such people are disturbed, suffering illness, and to be shown concern, always you disarming darkness with light. It's just belief - believe we are all neighbours(it's the truth)!

 

[Matthias]

“To me it is unthinkable that we become enemies of the very people we seek to win to Christ, our potential brothers and sisters in the Lord.”

(John MacArthur, Why Government Can’t Save You, p. 14)

Love your neighbor as yourself is a biblical Law. As such, it is not "universal" but the meaning is rather defined as "You shall not take vengeance or bear a grudge against the sons of your own people, (but you shall love your neighbor as yourself)." Which is indeed, a good universal practice. But the stipulation given by God in the Law, is more focused. Which does not mean it is only for an exclusive group as most would consider exclusivity. But is rather exclusive under a broader sense of the children of God, which does not include children of the Devil.

In other words, it is a law and practice given by God to His children to exercise in the greater between good and evil, understanding that we may not always view everyone included as brothers and sister, we still are to treat them as such...as we would love ourselves.

From what I remember of my own science classes, I suspect that the hydrocloric acid in the stomach would have dissolved the nail even more rapidly. Not a theory I care to test however.
