&lt;p&gt;Jesus declared, &amp;ldquo;&amp;lsquo;Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.&amp;rsquo; This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: &amp;lsquo;Love your neighbor as yourself.&amp;rsquo; All the law and the prophets hang on these two commandments.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;— Matthew 22:37-40&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Curiously, it seems that few have come to the realization that these two commandments really are one and the same. That is, we love God when we love our neighbor, and we ßlove our neighbor when we love God. There is no daylight between the two.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Toward a Rejection of the Virgin Birth</title><link>https://understorey.blog/toward-a-rejection-of-the-virgin-birth/</link><pubDate>Sun, 29 Mar 2020 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://understorey.blog/toward-a-rejection-of-the-virgin-birth/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;This work is marked &lt;a href="https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/"&gt;CC0 1.0&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
