Golden Rule as Guidance for Law
Matthew 7
It seems to me that jesus clearly wants the golden rule to be a basis for law or at least morality.
12 So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.

SUMS UP THE LAW
sometimes it just comes down to "words mean things".
like "shall not be infringed" means something.
Just Me
The "Golden Rule" pre-dates Jesus Christ as a written idea, and what Christ wishes means nothing to non-Christians rendering it an exclusive rule. Try selling it as "proposed" law based on its idealism rather than a single religion, inclusive for all people.Originally Posted by AHZ

Watch your step. Words do mean things. You should try practicing that rule sometime.
If your whole plan today is to try and fuck with me, don't. You will lose.

These two threads have generally been a silly discussion.

Clearly it's golden-rulism.

The topic is discussion-worthy. It's just not supposed to go in endless, meaningless circles

let's keep going.
what's your point in constantly mentioning "confucius said it tooo"?
does that mean jesus didn't also espouse it?
whats your point exactly?

Probably that it isn't the crux of Christianity.

"sum of the law and prophets" seems cruxy to me.
and in the bible it's something jesus said verbatim. confucuius also saying it means it's probably just extra smart.
