What else is there, besides this? The concept of the Golden Rule originates most famously in a Torah verse : “ You shall not take vengeance or bear a grudge against your kinsfolk. Love your neighbor as yourself: I am the LORD. ” — Leviticus 19:18[37], the "Great Commandment Jessus did that. He didn't persecute gays, fer instance. I see his followers do that a lot. Rabbi Shammai was an engineer, known for the strictness of his views. The Talmud tells that a gentile came to Shammai saying that he would convert to Judaism if Shammai could teach him the whole Torah in the time that he could stand on one foot. Shammai drove him away with a builder's measuring stick! Hillel, on the other hand, converted the gentile by telling him, "That which is hateful to you, do not do to your neighbor. That is the whole Torah; the rest is commentary. Go and study it." == This one's cool. "You shall not make for yourself an idol, whether in the form of anything that is in heaven above, or that is on the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth." I wonder WWJD about all the paintings and crucifixes and stuff. "You shall not make wrongful use of the name of the Lord your God, for the Lord will not acquit anyone who misuses his name." I'm told this one means not to say WGWD. I wonder if it carries over to WWJD? Do you follow the commandments Jesus did, or that King James wrote?
