Bridget's Bunia Blog 29

When the Pharisees heard that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, they came together, and one of them, a teacher of the Law, tried to trap him with a question. "Teacher," he asked, "which is the GREATEST commandment in the Law?"
Jesus answered, 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.' This is the greatest and the most important commandment. The second most important commandment is like it: 'Love your neighbor as you love yourself.' The whole Law of Moses and the teachings of the prophets depend on these two commandments." (Mat 22:34-38)

But Jesus, I only wanted one commandment. Why have you confused the issue!

When the students were taught by a British teacher using an American text book, they were confused. There are so many differences between the meaning of the same words, the spelling of the same words and the pronunciation of the same words.

One of them asked, "Teacher, what is the best way of speaking - American or British English?" The teacher answered, "Better, Lwanzo, better. You're comparing two things. Neither is better. The key thing is communication. You must communicate so that people can understand you and so that you can understand them. But more important again is not the accent of your words but the words themselves. 'Do not use harmful words, but only helpful words, the kind that build up and provide what is needed, so that what you say will do good to those who hear you.' " (Eph 4:29)
