The primary commandment from Jesus is to love God more than anyone else. For those of us with children, that is hard to do. The second commandment, the commandment to love your neighbor, is not less important as it is repeated in John 13, Matthew 19 and 22, Mark 12, Luke 10, Romans 13, Galatians 5, James 2, and Leviticus 19 - it can't be ignored. We discussed how hard it is to love those who behave badly; however, we recognized that we don't have to approve of or support their bad behavior, but we do have to love them and, as far as judging them goes, we need to remember Matthew 7:2; we will be judged as we judge others.
