Thanks for the reference, Greg. Matt.22 has Jesus giving slippery answers in what is obviously a hostile questioning environment. Later in the same chapter, Jesus denies being a descendant of David (a falsehood). Since Jesus doesn't specifically say that these two commandments replace the old law, and he directly confirms the old law in an earlier passage, and given the hostile questioning environment and his evasiveness later in the chapter... do you still believe that your interpretation of subsumption is what Jesus intended?

39And the second is like it: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' 40On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets." Matthew does well to quote Leviticus: "LEVITICUS 19:18 Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I am the LORD. It is fortunate that Leviticus (like the rest) contradicts itself with so many immoral and evil passages. 20:9 (don't spank your kids--KILL THEM) is a particularly fine example of the commandment to love. It is almost impossible to live up to the incredibly high moral standards of the bible; but the Church has shown an unrelenting devotion to the task for a couple of thousand years. Yes, indeed: if your children make a mistake, do not allow the error to serve as a springboard to becoming an instructed and better person. KILL THEM. "20:6 And the soul that turneth after such as have familiar spirits, and after wizards, to go a whoring after them, I will even set my face against that soul, and will cut him off from among his people. 20:9 For every one that curseth his father or his mother shall be surely put to death: he hath cursed his father or his mother; his blood shall be upon him. 20:10 And the man that committeth adultery with another man's wife, even he that committeth adultery with his neighbour's wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death." and on and on and on...
