the Holy Ghost, situation by situation, and not by pre-defined strictures for
situations real or hypothetical (1 Tim 1:4-5).

The Two Great Commandments Of Love Can Be Defined As Follows:

Love is God (1 John 4:8) therefore the word God can be interpreted as Love as a
means to understanding and vice versa throughout the Word (John 1:1, 14, 1 John
4:8), this places God as the point of reference. Love is the fruit (Gal 5:22) of the
Spirit of God who is Love (1 John 4:8) and by the fruit we know the start and the
end of something (Mat 7:16-20, Rev 22:13), in this case Love. The outcome of
Love will be the nine fruits of the Spirit (Gal 5:22). The fruit of the Spirit is:

Love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness and
temperance (Gal 5:22).

God is the one and true Creator God (Gen 1:1).

Neighbour is everybody, including enemies (Mat 5:44, Rom 12:20), and refers to
the eternal perspective of all time and space, dead and alive (Psalm 138:8, Mat
12:50, Mark 3:35, Luke 10:29-37, 17:26-31, Heb 1:2, 12:1) as all are the
neighbours of God (Psalm 139:8). Even those condemned to eternal torment, and
before they repent, are included (Psalm 138:8, Isaiah 45:23, Rom 14:11-12, Phil
2:10, 1 Pet 3:19).

Thyself is the soul which includes both the soul body or the earthly body
according to the state of the person at the time, i.e. physically alive or not (Mat
16:26, Mark 8:36, Rev 20:12).

To love with 'all thy heart, and with thy soul, and with all thy mind' stresses
the total commitment of love directed to all beings (Mat 5:44, 46, 22:40) and the
supernatural, spiritual basis to such Love, hence the word ‘soul’. To Love to
God’s standard without the involvement of the soul is impossible (Mat 22:40). A
perfect basic spirit is required for the soul to love properly and thus obey the two
great commandments (1 John 3:9).

Faith

At the very least faith, one of the manifestations of the Holy Ghost (1 Cor 12:9), is
inevitably and necessarily manifested by the process of salvation (Rom 10:9) and
indeed thereafter (Rom 1:17) which suggests what is also proved below - that all
Christians are baptised in the Spirit (1 Cor 12:13). Fruit of the Holy Ghost,
