In the Douey-Rheims version, Leviticus 19:18 “Thou shalt love thy friend as thyself.” It also is one of the many reminders not to seek revenge or be mindful of the injury of thy citizens.

Thank you for your kind and insightful guidance, Dr. Pitre.

Thank you Dr. Pitre!

[@stevechristie8549]

Does anyone know what Bible translation Dr. Pitre is using?

[@ScrabsPL]

I recommend watching dr Matthew's Thomas talks about Paul's "Works of the Law" in the reception of second century church. All the stuff that dr Pitre talks about - fact that Dekalog is still binding, being able to live out the love of God, fulfilling the Law of Christ by grace of God - seems to be present in the common belief of early church. Im during discernment if I want to be a Catholic, please pray for me!

[@mcspankey4810]

Good bless you, I used to be an anti Catholic Protestant until I read the church fathers and attended Holy Mass, trust in Jesus and he will lead you to the Eucharist

[@ScrabsPL]

@@mcspankey4810 I was thinking about Eucharist for a bit now, read st Ireneus about his view, grabbed st Ignatious of Antioch an hour ago, he says the same thing about Lord's Body and Blood... And now you tell me about it. I trust in Him, that if He wants, He will lead me to communion with Him. God bless

[@mcspankey4810]

@@ScrabsPL you should read the today’s Mass readings, all 3 of them, Old Testament, a reading from one of St. Paul’s letters, and the Gospel reading all point to the Eucharist. I was going to say, St. Ignatius of Antioch’s writings sealed the deal for me, I couldn’t pretend like the early church wasn’t Catholic, God bless

[@ScrabsPL]

@@mcspankey4810 yes, I was at mass today, I feel like God is bombarding me with Eucharistic stuff lately. I feel moved by it, I hope in God's mercy, that He will give me faith in truth

Never discuss love of neighbor without the love of God First, in love of God, for love of God.

[@MasterKeyMagic]

Hear that Protestants?

[@chissstardestroyer]

If you cannot charge interest to the needy by God's laws, then He is supporting theft from you by them; and so He is in fact a devil. Therefore that regulation is heretical and must be rejected by all, no matter what.

[@chissstardestroyer]

@@po18guy Not at all, it is the only thing that makes any sense.

[@chissstardestroyer]

Yes exactly! He condensed the Old Law so it would be feasible to remember and hence to follow; many Jews of His day and age complained that it was too bewildering to know what they were to do in any given situation. This's not any form of objection to doing what's right, it really rather is that they were saying "We're confused about this." Throughout His ministry He addressed this particular problem at that.

[@malrchys2095]

I do believe Dr. Pitre is being guided by the Holy Spirit, he has done his charity by sharing with us the riches which are the scriptures true interpretations. God bless you Dr. Pitre, along with all who listen to and trust in the Lord!

The application of the verse to real life is the best.

Thank you.

But those are not the original ten commandments, why Catholics changed them?

[@josephjackson1956]

Exodus 20 has the Ten commandments in the way the Catholics recognize them.

@@radostinvasilev599 exodus 20: 1-17 1 Then God spoke all these words: 2 I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery. 3 You shall not have other gods beside me. 4 You shall not make for yourself an idol or a likeness of anything in the heavens above or on the earth below or in the waters beneath the earth; 5 you shall not bow down before them or serve them. For I, the LORD, your God, am a jealous God, inflicting punishment for their ancestors’ wickedness on the children of those who hate me, down to the third and fourth generation; 6 but showing love down to the thousandth generation of those who love me and keep my commandments. 7 You shall not invoke the name of the LORD, your God, in vain. For the LORD will not leave unpunished anyone who invokes his name in vain. 8 Remember the sabbath day-keep it holy. 9 Six days you may labor and do all your work, 10 but the seventh day is a sabbath of the LORD your God. You shall not do any work, either you, your son or your daughter, your male or female slave, your work animal, or the resident alien within your gates. 11 For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea and all that is in them; but on the seventh day he rested. That is why the LORD has blessed the sabbath day and made it holy. 12 Honor your father and your mother, that you may have a long life in the land the LORD your God is giving you. 13 You shall not kill. 14 You shall not commit adultery. 15 You shall not steal. 16 You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. 17 You shall not covet your neighbor’s house. You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, his male or female slave, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.

@@josephjackson1956 friend, these are the only ten commandments in the Bible. The Catholics follow different ones. They don't keep the seventh day Saturday either. Please find the Catholics ten commandments and list them and you will see what I am talking about.
